Can I cook a butt, foil and rest, then put the butt back in WHOLE to to toughen the outside??? Not asking if you do this but would this be legal if kept whole???
Dunno why folks are so confused; the rule is so simple.
The ruling is you can't divide your pork and return it to the cooker.
Hey it says to re-heat or cook.....So if my cooker is over 140 and my meat is still over 140 I can put it in the cooker to maintain temperature as long as its not at cooking temperature. Oh wow that's great. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I believe the reps will DQ you for putting any parted meat back into the pit. And the teams that used to do this no longer do it and won't until a rules meeting in January and maybe not even then.
And playing devils advocate how do you know the meat is hotter than the pit temp? Do you temp every piece that goes back into the pit? If not then you can't prove it was hotter than the pit so you are reheating. Again a DQ.

But it's the cooks responsibility to know and obey the rules and it's not up to the Reps tp chec everybody. It's the responsibility of the cook once pork is parted to ensure that it is not put back on the pit to reheat or cook more. Therefore the cook must temp to prove it's not cooking.I counter with....Do you know the meat isn't hotter then the pit temp? Will you temp every piece to be sure it is or isn't?

Bottom line is if you are caught putting pork back on after parting then you will in all likelyhood be DQ'd. Why take the chance.
Pardon me, but the entire premise of the question was that the butt would be kept whole. Where did all the talk of parting come from?Can I cook a butt, foil and rest, then put the butt back in WHOLE to to toughen the outside???
