Now, my question. I just cooked a beautiful port butt. Lovely bark, super juicy, cooked perfectly. I put two chunks of pecan and one chunk of apple wood on top of the coals at the start of the cook. 6 hours later when I opened the lid and removed the butt (no wrapping - cooked to 196 internal) the wood was still there only partly consumed. I don't soak the wood, i just toss it on dry right outta the bag. Anyone else see anything like this?
Here's the butt - ain't it purdy?
