Hi all the expert smokers out there. I have a problem I can't seem to fix. I am semi new to smoking meat but love it so far. My problem is both my butts and ribs come out too dark. I use a pretty standard rub with brown sugar and salt and a few extras, cook it between 224 and 240, wrap it with double HD foil around 160 or when I like the color. But when it is done at 205 IT, it is really black. Yes it still tastes great but I would like the bark to be dark brown, not black. Would wrapping in butcher paper help instead of foil?
Picture is a bit before I wrapped it. No picture of finished product, had hungry family waiting!
I have only done ribs once and same thing happened and people didn't like the black color.
Any help is appreciate!
