    Hello all. Just curious as to why people will foil/butcher paper their meats whenever they hit the stall point instead of using a foil pan, sealed up of course. I know the reasoning is to protect the meat (from drying out), getting any more 'smoke/darkness' to the meat but if you 'sauce' the...
