Has anyone ever smoked a butt to temp (190-200) only to get some fat right under the bark?? Also I use Weber grill grates and even though I sprayed them with grill release spray my butts still stick. Has anyone come up with a better solution to this problem?
 
Don't know why the fat wouldn't render off. I trim most of the fat off & put it on a rack above the butt so it bastes itself. The fat I leave on usually disappears when it's done, leaving a nice bark coating. I don't foil either.

It was only on one butt and after I pulled it you couldn't tell it was in the meat and I will have to try putting the fat on the rack above next time. I also stopped foiling my meat I think more people should try it.

 I think most who foil, now adays, do it to speed up the process. I know I do.
