Cook them btw 2225-250 until they look like they have collapsed down onto themselves and when you can grab the bone and just about wiggle it out of the meat. I don't foil my butts, really no need to unless you're in a hurry to get done. When finished, I do wrap them in foil and then a blanket and let them rest in a cooler for minimum 2 hours up to 4 hours.
