Let them go for 3 hours.
Then wrapped them in Saran wrap & foil with butter, honey, dark beer, & a little more of Jeff's rub. Let them cook for 2 more hours.

I have always wrapped in foil....but after reading some comments am thinking about not wrapping at all during my next smoke of a pork butt and just letting it finish cooking as it is.......is this something I should try and not wrap after the first step?....I do like a nice crispy bark......what to do, what to do
Al knows Butts !!!!
Sorry Al---Couldn't resist that one!

I just finished a pork butt smoke and didn't foil it towards the end......it got to 192 but wouldn't make it to 200....I left it on too long waiting for it to climb and it just wouldn't. Needless to say leaving it on that extra hour or so kinda dried it out....but it was still nice a tasty. I was trying to get the best bark possible, which it did, I will take this as a learning experience. I am using an electric smoker and the temps stay really consistant. It was a 8 pound butt that smoked for 14/15 hours......
