First time not wrapping pork butt during the stall. Took about 13 hours to get to 205 internal on this 7 pounder. I let it rest for 2 hours in aluminum after being pulled out.

    What temperature did you cook it at? I never wrap mine and they seem to take 16-18 hours no matter what size at 250 on my current grill. Always took right at 18 hours on my last at 225.

  2. I have found that on my pellet grill I can go as high as 275° no wrap and it doesn’t impact the pulled pork quality at all.

    Doing this dramatically cuts the cooking time though

  3. I like to wrap after getting a good bark if I’m doing pulled pork because it doesn’t get the dried out edges. I usually smoke overnight for about 12 hours at 190, then wrap in the oven until done. If I’m slicing it up, unwrapped is nice.

  4. Quick butt around 10 hr 225-250 no wrap. Want super tender? Lower temp with wrap

    i prefer to wrap and cook them in 5-8hrs. i used to think longer is better when i was a noob.

  6. Hundred percent agree, this is what I’ve been doing and my pit boss pro series produces the same result
