I’m smoking Boston butt for 80 people this weekend. I know about how long it’s going to take but I’m hoping to shave some time off. I don’t like to wrap my butts because I don’t like what it does to the bark. Has anyone cooked a whole butt without wrapping at 250 deg or higher? If so was the bark too tough And how long did the cook take? Just trying to figure out if I can crank the heat up to finish faster without making the bark into beef jerky. I’ve always done 225 and bark turns out perfect but I’m unsure about higher temps.
