First smoke, some simple questions
I am about to do my first smoke on my 18 inch Smokey mountain. I am doing a pork butt about 4 lbs. From what I have seen I want to try to run the Smokey mountain at about 250F, once the bark is set and the internal temperature is about 160 I wrap it tightly in foil with some type of liquid, planning on beer and apple cider vinegar. I then put it back in the smoker until it reaches an internal temperature of about 205. Is this OK so far? I then let it rest, warped about an hour in a cooler before I unwrapped before I pull it apart? Do I just stick the thermometer probe right thru the foil into the meat?
Thanks in advance for the advice, wish me luck.
