Foiled Butt

[mikelens]

Dumb Question #633-

When my pork butt hit 160; I placed it in an aluminum 1/2 pan & covered with foil. Is this the same as wrapping it in foil? Will it cook the same as if wrapped?

I've never wrapped mine but I'd say what you did would be wrapping. Your enclosing the meat to trap heat and drive up the temp. Hope it turned out delicious

That is what I do to wrap. I use the disposable foil pans to help with cleanup. I also allow my temps to rise to 165 before foiling to allow for more smoke time, but ultimately you have the right plan.

Yep, a lot of us use foil pans for wrapping!
