Post by: JimmyV on April 03, 2016, 06:46:37 PM: I think for my personal tastes I prefer unwrapped. I really like a nice bark and wrapping it seemes to soften it too much.

Title: Re: Sunday Night Pulled Pork
Post by: JimmyV on May 31, 2016, 09:34:40 PM: On this particular cook I did fat cap down because I wasn't wrapping and wanted to protect the meat during the long cook directly on the grate.

I have tried cooking fat cap up, down...and sideways ;) ;D.....no difference for me. Fire management, and the resultant air flow make the difference for me.

I prefer no wrap and fat cap down. Like Tim said the quality of the meat is affected by heat and air-flow more than which side is up. But i like a lot of bark and with fat cap down the rub stays up on top creating more bark. When the fat cap is up a lot of the rub melts away with the fat .

Title: Re: Sunday Night Pulled Pork
Post by: JimmyV on June 01, 2016, 04:31:03 PM: Yep. Just tented it and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
