Gettting more bark on my Butt

I had great bark on the two butts that I cooked yesterday. I think the success came from the dry rub that I coated them with. I wrapped them in plastic wrap and they sat in fridge for about 18 hours before placing on grill. Plus, I let them sit on counter a good hour before beginning cook. Good luck!

As long as there is no fat layer on the butt and you don't foil it too long, you should have the entire butt covered with bark. I rub, slather w/mustard, and then rub again. It'll look like a meteorite.(And it won't be shy)

Just keep in mind that the foil time cooks slightly faster than unfoiled. BTW, I have never foiled a butt or a picnic and I always huge amounts of bark. HTH.

Add more turbinado sugar to your rub.

Cook four butts... ;-)
