Turbo Butts question

Cookinbob

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!

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.
