Only five of us so made a flat -my first on my month old XL. 5#. Salt and pepper overnight.  350 degrees for 3.5 hours until 160 IT. then foil for two hours until 205 IT. then FTC for four hours.   Used hickory chunks and apple cider in drip pan.  Wasn’t a lot of fat.  Served with roasted potatoes and jalapeño cornbread in cast iron skillet     
But was moist.  Bark was so so. Friends loved it though.

    Man, that really looks fantastic!  Flats are all I've ever cooked (I hardly ever see packers in my area, and I'm usually just cooking for me and my wife, and she's off red meat, these days, so a packer is just way too much meat for me.)  Looks great!

    Great cook.  Nailing a flat is more of a challenge than a packer.  You brought that one home.  Congrats.
    The likely contributor to your so-so bark was the time in the foil. FWIW-

    That is one of the best looking flat cooks I’ve seen here.  Nice work!
