Try to look up 2 sisters bbq sauce for your wife. I've been around picky bbq sauce people and they all convert to the 2 sisters movement. Made right in Plaucheville Louisiana.

i've only ever cooked them to make pulled pork.

5 hours unwrapped followed by 3 hours wrapped.

The Franklin method.

foil/no foil doesn't matter once you reached 165, just speeds up the cook if you foil.

Uh yes it does. More fat will render out and you get a better bark if you don't wrap.

Get outta here gramps. It's almost 2017. Nobody got time to sit on the front porch all day and wait on meat to get to temp

It won't be that noticeable especially for a freakin butt. We aren't cooking brisket here, this is pulled pork. Done it both ways and both have come out about the same. If you want hard crunchy bark and have the time, leave it unfoiled. If you are in a rush, foil.

I wrap briskets too. Recently switched from foil to butcher paper.

Most competitions wrap, they don't want the hard crunchy bark. A lot of people like that though.

Well just missed getting second in our cook off wound up 3rd. We got schooled by some schmuck with a huge grill who used to compete. Was told mine had the best flavor but it was a little dry.
