in Pork
I've done a grand total of ONE Boston Butt on my egg, and it was a while ago, so I can't remember what I did.  My question is to foil or not?  I don't think I foiled my last one, and it turned out very well, but I can't remember.  I have a 3 lb bone in shoulder ready for Sunday, and I'd like some input to foil or not.

    I prefer to not foil unless it won't be done in time. 2 hours a pound and then I always like it done a little early so then i wrap in foil and put into a cooler until time to eat.

    @brisket_fanatic Thanks.  That sounds familiar.  I'm putting some baby backs on at the same time, so the ribs AND the shoulder should take about 6-7 hours at 250.  I'll probably put them on and let it ride the whole time.

    Most here do not foil.

    Confession: I foiled my last one when it hit 185 to push it through to done. It turned out awesome and was my best one yet. Could also be due to using a Maverick and knowing the exact grid temp too :)

    Don't be afraid to find what works and makes the best tasting food for you!

    Wait, a 3lb?  The bone must weigh more than the meat!

    yeah, it's a tiny one.  I picked it up for the wife and I, but we're having company this weekend, so why not.  I'm curious to see how it comes out.
