    Quick Question About "bark" On Butt

    Thank you all for the advice. The butt was 6.5 # . I do have a recipe for a finishing sauce and planned to make that available for those who would like to use it. I'm going to go pull it now and will use all the bark. I do have about 10-12 oz. of the "foil juice" and will sure use it. I love...
