I have smoked more than my fair share of butts and have never wrapped them in foil like I have seen here. I usually get butts that are about 8-9 lbs. I have a MES which I usually set at about 225. I normally put my butts on at about 8PM. By 6am they are usually in the plateau (160 deg). They normally hit 195 at about 2pm. I checked the temp of the smoker with an oven thermometer and it was very close.
My question. Does this seem about right or is it too long?
Does wrapping the butt in foil speed up the process? I am tring to figure out if it is possible to put a Butt on at 6am and have it ready for supper.
Thanks
