Sorry I didn't take Qviews, but I will explain.
I tried a BUTT for the first time SAT. It was only a little over 4lbs so I thought 8 hrs should have been enough...my TEMP was not getting up to anywhere near the 190 something mark at all....hanging in the 160s for the longest time even tho I was cooking it at an average of about 250...
Anyway, I figured I'd try what I now do with my ribs, instead of the 'foil' step I use my Rival Roaster Oven with a little water in the bottom and this works wonders for the last rib step...
So, I figured I would throw the BUTT in the roster for about an hr at close to 300* instead of the foil step for the BUTT also...it worked GREAT!!! 1 hr later and the butt was perfect and my 10 hr day wasn't ruined after all!!!
Next time I won't do just 1 butt in my big smoker...I'm not sure it was receiving the TEMP my thermometer said it was.
Just a plug for the Rival, that's all.
