What is "the turbo method" for butts

An all night cook seems a little risky for me at this point. Please explain the turbo method.

you can also go in between turbo and all night by using a a little hotter Egg during the day.

Cook it at 275 ish, should take hr/lb maybe a little less. maybe a hair bit more. No foiling, no flipping. That's how I do mine.

Now I may give that a try. I don't like the Texas Crutch (aka foil) sorry Mickey, VI and other Texas members.

"> It seems every time I do, even with the CWM rib method, the bark you try to create early in the cook is damaged by the foiling. But then again, what do I know?

I had to try to cook a pork picnic using "turbo" heats. I had this notion I could get up at 5 a.m. on a winter day, start the Egg, and finish by 6 p.m. Hah! It was almost 9 a.m. before i had a stable temperature, and lite smoke. I took the temp up to 310. By 2 p.m., the meat was close to 180 all over. I dropped the temp to the standard 250 dome, removed at 195+ at 4 p.m. It was fine. Maybe a tiny bit less smoke flavor, but no problem pulling the meat at all.
Note: picnics seem to always cook just a bit faster than butts. Maybe a little less connective tissue, and perhaps the bone conducts heat thru the center of the cut.

This sounds good. Think I'll try it. You're talking indirect, right.

I did my fir$t Turbo the other day. I took the BB of at 195 degree$. I think the BB wa$ a little dry. It had good bark. The next time I will remove at 185 or 190 and wrap in foil and put in the cooler. Ju$t my two cent$ worth.

Bowhunr, it is a trade off. You do get the bark, but not like a low and slow 14+hr cook, but then, it is not a 14 hour cook.I pulled some and thick slice the rest. I have made carnitas with the thick slices. Turned out very good.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Stick with traditional low and slow. It's a tried and true method and is a very forgiving cook. It was my first egg success. You'll be very pleased with the results. Promise.
