Making PP Sunday, I have a 8 lb butt, will be injecting it Saturday and putting my rub on it. I changed my rub for the butt and we will see, how it comes out. I also am trying North Carolina BBQ

8 hours, you think thats what ive been reading wrap at 5 or should i just let it stay unwrappedIf you follow what you described, it should be great! Plan on a long cook though.

dang that is a long time, yeah that changes everything, i was going to start it around 8 or so to have it around 5 or 6 but with that i dont knowIt's all up to you and how much bark you want. Wrapped, it may cook faster, but the bark will suffer. Unwrapped, good bark, but longer cook time.
I did 2 8 pounders last night. Started then at 5:30 and the finished at around noon today. Butts have a mind of their own, you can't time them consistently.
well this will be the first time im ever trying NC sauceIt reheats well. All that I cooked will be eaten by may parents over many many meals. I vac packed it to freeze, but once defrosted it reheats with a finishing sauce really well.
Yeah but then that would take the fun out of keeping a fire going and relaxing and that's what BBQ is all about. Family friends and eating good rightIf you wrap your butt you can always finish in the oven as well. I really like having a unit that can run all night!
