    Wrapping Pork Butt Questions...

    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,

    Yes, I'll do that after pouring liquid out. Smooth on some sauce and let it set with the bark.

    I have done a paper wrap in a pan. It saves the juices, but is not as steamy an environment as foil. In other words, the cook will take longer.

      Thank You...Even though it is not as steamy as foil does using paper instead of foil still help power through the stall
