Title: Wrapping pork butt in foil to rest vs holding at 140
Post by: ryeguy on January 04, 2019, 11:49:18 AM

It seems most people pull the pork butt out and wrap it for foil for a couple hours to let it rest outside of the smoker. I've also seen a few hold the pork butt in the smoker for 140 if they need it to stay warm for longer.

Is there a downside to always doing a hold @ 140 for a couple hours instead of using foil? It would be slightly easier and cleaner and I could even automate it using a PID step.
