Bacon wrapped butt

A buddy at work just threw me 7# boneless butt to smoke on the Egg. I figured what a better chance than to do a bacon wrapped butt. Has anyone ever tried that on here? I was wondering if there is a target temp or time to throw the bacon on the butt? I’m guess the bacon would only need a couple hours on the meat so it doesn’t disintegrate to ash.

Never have done it but upon further review, why not par-cook the bacon and then wrap the butt as it about at the finish-line and let the bacon ride in for the win? Just a thought.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

If it’s just for pulling, I’m not sure wrapping adds anything, you could just toss some bacon on and let it cook in the smoke, then mix in with the pulled pork. I don’t think you’re going to get bacon infused pork butt, but you might take out your bark along the way as well. Would be a good picture cooking though.

I would chop the bacon up and fry it, then mix it with the pulled pork

Pulled pork sandwich with bacon and a fried egg sounds good. Sorry that’s where my mind went here.

Why would you want to cover a perfectly fine butt?
