In fact, many people including myself prefer not to wrap for one reason.
While wrapping your pork butt is extremely popular, it is not necessary. If you are looking for less smoke flavor or notice your pork butt is getting too much heat and starting to burn, wrap it in tin foil or butcher paper and finish cooking. It adds a layer of protection that will keep high heat and smoke out. Whether you do not like a lot of smoke flavor or your smoker is running too hot and you are starting to burn your pork butt, wrapping in tin foil will help protect your pork butt.
These fat renderings and moisture can later be poured onto your pork for further juiciness and yumminess.Īnother great thing about wrapping pork butts, is it allows you to speed up the cooking times. When you wrap your pork butt, you are also capturing the fat rendering off the pork. While the moisture won’t add more juice to the meat, it does create a humid cooking environment which prevents your pork butt from drying out. When you wrap you pork butt, you are capturing this moisture and retaining it in with the pork butt. When smoking a pork butt, the moisture in the meat draws to the surface and evaporates. It all comes down to personal preference. You shouldn’t wrap your pork butt when you are looking for a well developed bark on your pork butt. You should wrap your pork butt in tin foil or butcher paper if you want to reduce cook times, make your pork butt juicier, protect it from burning, or to prevent your pork butt from taking on too much smoke.
