To flip or not to flip, that is the question?

When cooking a pork butt do you flip it at any point of the cook, or do you just leave it be? I'm about 4 hours into cooking and contemplating what to do.
Thanks for the input, Happy Super Egg Sunday!

No flip“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Rub the butt. Then, as much as you want to, don't touch the butt. You can poke the butt, but only when the butt is good and hot.

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

While cooking 3 butts I have rotated the butts cause it was cooking hotter on the back one. Never have flipped.Charlotte, NC - Large BGE 2014, Maverick ET 733, Thermopen, Nest, Platesetter, Woo2 and Extender w/Grid, Kick Ash Basket, Pizza Stone, SS Smokeware Cap, Blackstone 36"
