Do you use foil to "finish" your meat?

[graperadio]

I do not, but I do not have a problem with those that do.

 

[rickw]

I do on most things.

 

[garyt]

I do on ribs, 321 method and butts.

 

[jaye220]

I always foil butts and chuckies but recently stopped foiling ribs.

 

[travcoman45]

Foil butts, briskets an ribs, ribs I do the modified 321.

 

[rivet]

Never have, but if it works for you then go for it. Nothing wrong with cooking how you like it!

 

[fire it up]

I agree with Tip on the butts and briskets, though I have recently stopped foiling ribs and like how they come out.

 

[desertlites]

I agree with him^

 

[smoke freak]

Do whatever it takes to please your family and friends. The end results are what counts...

 

[chrome]

Ribs, butts, and brisket.

 

[jbg4208]

Butts and Briskets only. No more on ribs. They are so much better without.

 

[azrocker]

Foil then off to the cooler. Still debating on ribs.

I've done both, it seems if you foil a pork butt at around 160, it doesn't have much for bark on it, maybe I'm doing something wrong, the butt that I didn't foil really looked good (nice bark), and the one I did foil (160) didn't have the bark but tasted very good also, is it just a preference to foil or does it help??

Foil butts wrap in towels then to cooler.Same for chuckies.
Spares I foil using the 3-1.5-1
