12 hours.


It was very good.


Sounds great. I stop when internal temp gets to 202'ish, then wrap it in foil and put in a cooler for a couple of hours or so, then shred it.



Every time I smoke a pork butt, it seems there’s 5 people with forks in hand pounding the table when it gets to temp so never wrapped one and let it rest. How big of a difference does it make to flavor/texture?
More of just an ease of shredding?
