...that is the question.
I've done several butts in the past two years since I got my first smoker. I'll be doing a butt early next week. But, I've always foiled around 160-170 degrees, and then put it in the oven to finish it off until 200 degrees. However this time I'm thinking of a change, I'm thinking of going the full distance...leaving it in the smoker without foil until 200 degrees. Is there a big difference? Is it worth it? Thoughts?
