Turbo Butts question
Options

This Friday I am doing 2 pork butts, want them off the grill by noon, so planning turbo for the first time. From what I have read, the recommendation is 350 deg, then foil once the IT hits 160 or so. What is the benefit of the foil at this point, and what happens if I don't foil?
Also assuming these are 7 lb butts, what time would you recommend they go on the grill with a noon finish at the latest?
Any and all feedback appreciated

Here's how I do them:

The foil helps the butt cruise right through the stall. Without it, you're looking at a longer cook.
I definitely recommend the injection as well. Good luck!"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
Foil speeds it up plus you catch great juices with the foil. The juices mixed with the butt as you pull it makes for outstanding food. I would put on at 6 am for a 12 noon pull. Enjoy

As for timing estimate at least 5 hours for a 7 pound butt and if it finishes early just FTC it till meal time.
