I had planned on not wrapping, but with the window closing I figured I'd better, 40 people 3 hours away were not going to cut me much slack, they would already be eating a late lunch. I stayed awake at that point and finished it up.
Now I'm exhausted and of course kicking my self for lighting it the wrong way. How could I have known it would be this big of a pain you may ask? Oh yeah, i've done it once before and had the same result. Maybe posting this will help me learn.
The bonus is that it was in my top 5 butts ever, so that is good. And since I was doing twins you know I had to experiment! I see a lot of the shows wrapping ribs with squeeze butter, so I decided to use it as my binder before the rub to see if it added in an extra layer of flavor. I personally think it brought out some flavors a little differently than the mustard (my previous oil vs mustard test bore this out as well) but the rub and smoke overpowered any difference there may have been.
Really digging a combo of oak and hickory right now too, haven't used fruit woods since last year I think.
