I have stopped wrapping all my BBQ recently and my results have gotten so much better. You don’t need to wrap! I regret wrapping things as long as I did. Now I finish my butts in the oven with convection on and I get absolutely unreal bark.
Considering world renown BBQ Champions Aaron Franklin and Myron Mixon both wrap their pork butts I don't think wrapping was or is a bad choice. You just found a better option that works for you having a convection oven which 90% of us (me included) don't have. Glad that's works for you. If I get a convection oven I might have to try that !
You need to the fat cap towards the heat source to protect the meat from drying out and contrary to belief the fat cap does not melt down into the meat.
I just bought My Pro 36 and it has shipped out This is exactly how I’ve been doing pork butts on my other brand of pellet grills I’m starting a channel in January Lookin forward to it both the pro 36 and the channel
I just got the Pro. The internal thermometer is off, so it's cooking higher than it should BUT, I'm going to do a butt this weekend. Loved this video. I wish you would have shared your rub recipe.
Advice for high altitude? Our house is 6600 feet above sea level and water boils at 200 degrees F. We have previously done 225, but I don’t smoke pork shoulder often enough to have a preferred cook yet. Do I wrap it at all, or with paper or foil? Thanks for the video!
I dont wrap any more I just roll all the smoke to it and slap it in the crock pot with a tad bit of apple juice or water in the bottom comes out good everytime
When you cook low and slow it does not matter Choice or Prime. You are making them tender by slow cooking. I only Buy choice and a butcher told me to buy my meat this way.
Just my two cents here... I was taught quite a while back to not "soak" my smoking wood or chips. All that does is slow down the time to get smoke and it does nothing to protect the meat or wood. Been 5-7 years since I have soaked smoking wood in any type of smoker or grill. Just my 2 cents. Saw you had no reply to your question after 7 months.
@@geofferywhedbee9047 thank you Geoffrey 👍 I'm a novice with smoking: Soaked my cherry wood chunks once and it slowed my cook down exactly as you indicated.
Great Info! Very disappointed Camp Chef stopped making their vertical smoker. I think that was a huge mistake, as I have owned both and would never go back to a horizontal one.
Pork these days is nothing like when I was younger. There is too little fat now I do buy Berkshire and occasionally iberico which are both high quality. Iberico is off the charts
Still having a hard time choosing between the Pro and the Apex, however I'm curious about the smoke number. If grill is set to lets say 275 smoke level 1, how does it manage to keep the same temperature if you choose smoke level 10 ( for more smoke wouldn't it have to add more pellets therefore creating more heat ? ) how does it make more smoke without making more heat ?
The temperature actually fluctuates way more the higher the smoke number creating more smoke but keeping the temp levels -+10 degrees or so. The lower the smoke number will keep the temp pretty even at the chosen setting but output less smoke.
Too much seasoning limits the smoke penetration. According to some. However, I season my pork butt like he does. Like Malcom Reed. It's a big chunk of meat, it can take it.
How come you didn't remove the gland? It's on the opposite side of the bone under the fat cap where the three folds of meat come together. Cut into the fat and just beyond the three folds you'll find a slimy gray gland about the size of a human thumb. Cut around it and pull it out. If you don't and you cook it in place it will give the meat a bitter taste when you go to shred the butt.
Pork Butt newbie here. Question: Instead of tinfoil (pan + reynolds) like you use, would the results be the same with one of those turkey/ham roaster pans? (The kind that has matching, oval w/handles, top and bottom pans, where the bottom pan has a drip-catching border that the top pan sets into.) For this go-round, I'm doing it exactly like you did. However, if, the next time, I was cooking a larger butt (dare I say, a *Big Butt* ), and didn't have a sufficiently large tinfoil pan, would using those turkey pans be ok? Thanks, - s.west p.s. Great video! It spells out several of the mysteries of PPP (Perfect Pulled Pork). p.p.s. Subscribed.
I am happy to report that my first-time pellet-smoker-8-1/2-pound-Pork-Butt turned out better than I imagined it could be. I followed your instructions to the letter and everyone said that it was the best pulled-pork sandwich they ever had, and I agreed. Delicious. Thank you!
Frustrating thing to me is that even the chefs who are cooking for the pellet grill manufacturers say you shouldn’t use the bottom rack to cook on……so you essentially have a majority of a grill full of wasted space that you can’t smoke on? Not sure that’s worth the money to me To be clear, that’s a complaint on all pellet grills, not just camp chef’s
You can still cook almost anything on the bottom grate. The problem is with the fire pot being dead center, it creates a hotspot. So just cook big items on one side or the other. But directly in the center and you could have issues. This is why i prefer verticals to horizontals. Alot more cooking area, far away from the heat source.
Um, yeah…East Carolina boy here. Couldn’t believe i’d heard that bit right. USDA does NOT grade pork. Also, maybe he should just go watch his kids play hockey in the street out front. CAR!!! I’ve had my Woodwind for three months now, easily more than 50 cooks and as much as I love my Woodwind 32, I’d trade some recipes and how-to videos for a way to upgrade to the pro that doesn’t involve me trying to talk the missus’ into our second pellet smoker in less than a year!😁.
@@kittygianelli6731 That is not accurate. USDA only (optionally, I’ll add) grades pork as acceptable and utility. No other options. USDA Choice is only for beef.

@@giguy2002 They wrap their meat because it usually doesn't get served for many hours later. Yes, a wrap slows down drying out.
Pan an cover mine, works well.
I’m gonna do one this weekend and use butcher paper like I do on ribs and brisket , tinfoil steams which doesn’t make meat moist , only fat does.
You need to the fat cap towards the heat source to protect the meat from drying out and contrary to belief the fat cap does not melt down into the meat.
Paid 250 for a used camp chef smoker best decision ever works beautiful. I looked it up well worth 600 brand new.

Lookin forward to it both the pro 36 and the channel
I just got the 24 pro and still need to assemble it. Can't wait to start smoking.. Is your channel up yet?
Just ordered my woodwind pro waiting on deliver
I've cut pork roast in half, less cook time, twice the bark, try it you will like!
Love the Dumb and Dumber reference!

Just wanted to say logans videos in this channel have help me a bunch. Keep them coming!!
They do but he does a lot of misinformation. Cooking it fat side up isn’t going to change anything and there is no usda choice pork, complete fallacy
there is no usda prime pork
Sure there is. Congress puts it in every bill whether it passes or not.
Got my Woodwind Pro 36 and sidekick sear. built it. just waiting to cook my Thanksgiving dinner bbq season begins for me in the winter.
Looks good!….why do u say CARRR? 😂 first video watcher here.
I was wondering the same thing? Reminds me of Wayne's World. Lol Car, game on.
Wondering the same thing. IMHO, takes away from a good video just saying.
He probably has kids playing by the road and is notifying them of a car that is coming through.

Choice or prime… pork? 🤔
there is no usda prime grading of pork
Pork is super fatty no matter what. It’s not like beef
I said…whatttt? 😂
Ask your local butcher. He or Her will tell you. It's the grade of the hogs like ot is with cattle.

Great Info! Very disappointed Camp Chef stopped making their vertical smoker. I think that was a huge mistake, as I have owned both and would never go back to a horizontal one.
They make it now with a smoke box on it.
Don't forget about all of us who have the Woodwind WiFi and can't justify buying the great new pro.

Is there enough room on the 24 model to make two butts at once?
I mean you can make like 6 if you don't mind shuffling them around for even cooking.

What's with the car shout out? Is the camera guy in the street??
We are next to the street, and sometimes a car drives by and ruins the audio haha!
@@campchef The only thing that ruined the audio was the guy screaming "CAR!".
Awesome!
I don't wrap at all. Just use a low temp. I smoke mine at 195 for 12 hours plus.
Curiosity, how many lbs and how long was the cook at 250°?
It was an 8 pounds and it was around 13 hours
@@campchef was the 13 hrs including the rest time?
I don't wrap pork butts (or any BBQ). Perfect every time. Don't overthink it. Have a beer and relax.

What about that fella that said you don’t want no dirty smoke hahahaha .. I suggested he use propane
Rested for "I think" 3 hours "exactly" lmao
I've been 'rapping just to save my own butt.
Car?
Would be useful if you would mention celcius degrees also.
Most probes read both, so why bother? Just switch your probe!
Car!!!!

Yappy yappy until four thirty nine
If you’re going to post videos, you need to give some answers to questions.
What’s with the title, wrapping your pork butts wrong, no mention of wrapping issues in video???
You literally did all that work to set that bark on the fat side? Fat cap up is not necessary, and a waste of bark 😢
Completely agree, plus I hate to listen to people eat
l just did my first one and Fat up is what I was taught
Do you have Tourette’s? lol my dad has it and your blurt outs reminds me of him.
Pecan not pecon.
There is no prime or choice when it comes to pork
😂😂😂 you must not of ever raised and butchered your own different breed of hog... there's a difference young man

Calm down, it's a helpful video.
You didn’t even open the but and remove the sinu layer between the muscles at the bone end I guess you like chewing on rubber bands
Too much talk
That pork looked like a piece of burnt wood
There is no such thing as USDA prime or choice pork. where do they find these fools?
Steamed meat 🤮👎
Hard to take you serious when you’re actually bar b queuing a pork shoulder -and not a butt.🫤
