    2-2-1 Variations

    I've got 4 racks of babys on the smoker + a butt. I'm rolling with the 2-2-1. I understand some of you like to modify this approach. I read somewhere here that if you foil babys for 2 hours, that's too long. What are the negative results of foiling for too long? Thanks

    When Do You Rub the Rub?

    Last time I did a Butt, I applied the rub the night before and wrapped it in plastic wrap. The next morning, it was a big, sloppy mess. I'm afraid that I rubbed on the rub too early and the salt drew the juices out of the butt? What's the optimal time, in your experience, to rub on the rub...
