Today’s pork but

[bgaviator]

Pork butt just over 7 lbs. cooked at 275°. Wrapped when it hit 170. Took back out of the wrap at 190 to crisp up a little. Only took 7 hours to cook. Used all peach wood. Never got a really good bark formation. Might have been my fault. I think I put the fat cap topside when I normally put the fat on the bottom since I use a Kamado. Plus the Kamado seems to have a hard time forming bark in general.

looks pretty good to me. I'd not turn it down.

Im with Jim! I wouldnt turn that down any day! Nice job!

Couple things to think about..... Are you using foil for your wrap?? If you are maybe try some butchers paper. I used to worry about wrapping at a certain temp....but anymore I just wrap when I like the color/bark and use paper. Seems to help keep the "bark" intact.

Yeah I just put it in a foil pan and cover tightly with foil.

I don't see anything wrong with that butt.
Does the bone come out and are you planning to pull?

If you get the chance try the paper... After I started using it I wont go back. A lot of folks here swear by the paper.

Bone came out easily. It’s already shredded. Used a little finishing sauce on it and now holding in crock pot until dinner in about another hour

Does it speed up the cook as well as foil?

Sorry, the pulled pic just came up. Looks fine!

Would def. slap that on 2 or 3 rolls and put them down! Nice work, bud!

Yes it seems to for me anyway. But I like the fact that it's not really steaming it. Usually I will wrap in paper and then just set it down in a foil pan and that'll help collect any of the stuff that renders off if you like to keep that to mix back in after pulling.
