Looking for some advice on how to finish my pork butt in the oven. I smoked it for 5 hours then foiled and placed in the oven at 250. Would it benefit the bark to remove the foil at some point and if so at what temperature should I do so?

I wouldn't remove it.. bark should be fine by the time it gets 200-205 internal temp

Why would you finish it in the oven? Not being a smart aleck - I just want to know.

As previous poster said there is a point when the meat simply will not absorb any more smoke flavor, but I have never finished a butt in the oven.

Had to leave my house for a few hours and was worried the fuel would run out. My smoker's charcoal basket is pretty small.

I unwrap at 198°, sauce it, and take it to 205°. I pull it, fyi.

I always finish mine in the oven. Leave foil until done. They come out great.

After about 8 hours of smoke, i like to finish my butt in a pyrex dish foiled in the oven with apple cider vinegar to create my sauce. I prefer eastern carolina style pulled pork though.

I can't take anywhere near that much smoke myself. After two hours I've got to make adjustments, foil, oven whatever..
