    Pulled Pork a little dry - overcooked?

    Yep, here's what's on the label - "pork shoulder with skin". A standard pork butt isn't really available here - I've asked around a lot. Other people have suggested using the "Hals" (neck) for pulled pork so maybe I'll try that some time. This website claims that the US butt is the same region...

    Pulled Pork a little dry - overcooked?

    Foil wrap faster than paper?

So far I've just been using my gas grill with wood chip pouches, but maybe I'll look into something a bit better...

    Foil wrap faster than paper?

    Hey everyone, the other day I cooked two racks of baby back to compare foil vs. butcher paper wrapping. 275 the whole time, wrapped both after 2.5 hours. After 1 hour wrapped the foil ones were pretty good FOTB (how I like them), but the paper ones needed another full hour. The cuts seemed...
