I love my #2. Already smoked 2 butts, a couple of prime rib roasts, strip roast, brisket, and doing a slab of bacon tonight. My only drawback with it is that I don't get a good bark. I did foil both butts at about 165-170, but I have always done that with my old smoker, and always had a hard bark with it. Any suggestions on improving the bark? The bark on the beef was very light.

Like many on here, I don't foil or use anything during a smoke of pork butt. Close the door, and relax. I've always had great bark on my butts, whether smoking at 225* or 235* F. Try this and I think you'll be happy

One of the beauties of these smokers is that you don't ever need to foil... you can save that time, effort, and expense. :)

If you have the time, try running a butt at 200 degrees. Plan on +\- 24 hours but some seriously heavy bark. I love how they turn out doing this way but don’t always have the time.
