Looking for a little help

Got my UDS loaded with 40 lbs of butt setting at 160 right now . I was going to foil but I'm not happy with the bark. What say you will I be able to foil at a higher temp?

BBQ Bandit · 07-01-2011, 10:07 PM

160 - bark not to your liking... let it ride for another hour or two, then decide.
You're in the stall.

fr8erfxr · 07-01-2011, 10:08 PM

I foil at 165 and still get great bark.

ZouBBQ · 07-01-2011, 10:09 PM

I've never foiled a butt before and they have all turned out tasty.

txschutte · 07-01-2011, 10:10 PM

Skip the foil, when the bone is able to pull out, it's done. You'll thank me later.

JMSetzler · 07-01-2011, 10:18 PM

No foil.

parrdist · 07-01-2011, 10:22 PM

Thanks guys, just a little worried. First time cooking this much meat.
Thankfully the beer is holding out.

Why foil in the first place??????

Callahan-que · 07-01-2011, 10:44 PM

AS long as the beer's holding out everything will be ok, no foil.

parrdist · 07-01-2011, 10:49 PM

old school, I'm hoping for something that looks as good as yours.

Boshizzle · 07-01-2011, 10:51 PM

How much time do you have? Foiling will speed things up. But, if you are not in a hurry, you will get better bark without the foil, IMO, but cook time will be longer.

Keep us posted.

parrdist · 07-01-2011, 11:19 PM

I got all night. I got lots of beer. Wife went to bed. I'm in for the long haul.

Setting at 164 now.

txschutte · 07-01-2011, 11:24 PM

I'll be up with you, Bro.

parrdist · 07-02-2011, 01:20 AM

How long does the stall last? Just now getting to 167

JMSetzler · 07-02-2011, 01:23 AM

I'm up too for at least 3 or 4 more hours. I gotta try to stay up all night (east coast time) so i can sleep all day and then go work an overnight shift at the hospital for the next two nights. I absolutely HATE having to switch between shifts so frequently, but it does get me acquainted with some cool bbq people online :)
