First try at a no foil butt

[gotbags-10]

Been wanting to try my hand at making some killer bark from a no foil butt. Got a 10 lb'er going in my 30" electric charbroil with a full load of hickory in the amnps. Butt has Jeff's rub on it plus I added an extra little sprinkle of brown sugar on top to help with some bark.

Stay tuned

Cool. That is awfully rectangular for a butt though.

I never foil mine and they turn out amazing!  Good luck & keep us posed!

I have never seen one that square either - waiting for the finale

Is it rectangular because its a papal butt?  Infoilable?

Not sure why it's shaped like that. It was in a twin cryo pack do not sure if that shaped it that way. But anyways I just checked on it IT is 165. My smoker was running a little on the low side at 117 degrees. Also the amnps is burned through. With a long ways to go should I refill it?

Was that supposed to say "217 degrees"? I sure hope so. Butt looks great!!

GB, morning.....   About the smoke... If you normally smoke for 1 full tray of pellets, I would not refill it....  You may have too much smoke on the butt...  Too much smoke is worse than not enough....   Just my thoughts.....  Dave

Patience , don't let the "dreaded stall " make you do some thing wrong . Keep temp. stable and check occasionally , may take ?? hrs.,but you will love it...

The "square thingy"... I get a lot of Butts from Sam's and there are two Big Butts in each Package , and darned if they are not square .

Notice the basic shape of these :

these were from Tank's Meats in Elmore , Ohio

   ...(sorry SOB)

.

But my point is , a whole Pork "Butt" (top of shoulder with bone) , will look similar to these

.

Have fun and...
