In my BGE, I cook pork butts at ~250, unwrapped and no water. I don't open the lid until they are ~195 IT to check for tenderness. I used to cook at ~225 but the only difference I found is 4-6 less hours of cooking.
In my 22" Kettle + SnS, I cook them at ~225, unwrapped and 1 fill of water in the SnS.
Both cooks average 12-14 hours for ~7-8 lb butts. I always have cooked 2 at a time.
I wrap for my faux cambro 2 hour hold. The bark is softened by the hold. Family is very happy which is what matters. With that said, eventually I will try wrapping during the cook.
