Haven't been around in a while because I haven't had a chance to fire up the smoker lately
I am planning to smoke a few butts this weekend for the neighbors. I have tried it with and without foil, and the results were similar.
The question: Why do you foil? Is it to speed up the cooking...
Well, it has a little sugar in it, but the vinegar offsets it.
Lou's Italian style Carolina BBQ Sauce
1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup catsup
1/4 cup texas pete hot sauce
1/2 cup bullseye barbeque sauce
1/2 cup light brown...

Well since I am Italian, I figured I would do a smoke today to honor Christopher Columbus.
Actually, that is just an excuse to fire the smoker up. Plan a few ABT's and Dutches baked beans. Butt went on at 5:30 am. Will try to get some Q-view up later.
Thanks Joe, thats what I wanted to hear. I have a butt defrosting in the fridge that I am planning to smoke in a few days. I will try this.

Wow, lots of great info. I guess I am not far off concerning time. Guess I will keep on keepin on. One thing I like is with the MES, like I said, I put the butts on about 7-8 PM and feed chips until 11-12 PM. Then I can go to bed, get up at 6 and finish the smoke.
Thanks for all the replys.
I have smoked more than my fair share of butts and have never wrapped them in foil like I have seen here. I usually get butts that are about 8-9 lbs. I have a MES which I usually set at about 225. I normally put my butts on at about 8PM. By 6am they are usually in the plateau (160 deg). They...

you can see I tried a seafood variation of the ABT's. They were great.
Thanks again.
I smoked 2 8# butts and started at 8 last night. They got to 195 Deg at 3 PM today. Smoker was set at 220 Deg. If you want to eat it today, I sugesst you crank up the heat.
