first butcher paper butts

Thanks for the write up and the idea for using a roaster rack.
Didn't think the juices would stay in the paper.....but what do I know.
They both look great, good going!
 
^^^Thanks never really thought of that with it being uncovered.
 
Sooooo what is your take home? They both look so dang good in the pics I'm not sure I can draw a conclusion other than maybe wrap to preserve color then unwrap for a while to firm up the bark???

I'm not sure either, the one thing is the 1/4 cup of juice, was definitely a flavor bomb, but if the unwrapped was on a rack in a pan it would have juice as well. After this I can't say one is better than the other but I do have 997 ft of bp left so i'm sure i'll wrap again.
 
Ive tried wrapping butts, with the same results.
The pan slowed down the butt.
Next one I got my bark then wrapped in BP tossed it back on the grate
in my offset. Juice went to the bottom of the offset.
My next time I'll put a foil pan in the bottom of the offset.
Shouldn't affect smoking time, but I can retrieve the juices after
I remove the butt. Live and learn.
 
I wrap to stop anymore smoke from flavoring the butt once I think it has enough. As well as color.
Did you notice any difference in the smoke flavor between the two?
