Most of the Pork Butts I have cooked I have not wrapped...I did a side by side cook one time with one wrapped and the other unwrapped...I liked the crunchy bark of the unwrapped slightly better...This past weekend I put both butts in aluminum pans and wrapped them - the bark wasn't crunchy but was really good...I also liked the amount of juice that was collected in the pans that I was able to put in a fat separator and pour some of it back into the meat for some added juiciness...
Here are my questions:
- Does anyone unwrap towards to end of the cook to get the bark to firm back up???
- I know most people wrap with foil and some wrap with butcher paper...The butcher paper users state that it helps maintain the bark and allows the meat to "breathe" a little better than foil...I have not used butcher paper yet...Has anyone tried putting the butt in a pan then wrapping with butcher paper??? If so how was the results???
Thanks in advance,
