I'm not a turbo guy but from what I've read you should be able to pull this off. Low and slow (like normal) until you get to 160 internal, so you can have smoky goodness. Then foil up tightly and crank up the heat to 350, pull when probe slides like normal. Good luck!

If you're really pressed for time, which it sounds like you are, it might cook more quickly cut into 2 or 3 smaller chunks. You'll also get a bit more surface area, one consistent comment about turbo is that the bark is less pronounced than low slow.Get the fire started and get em goin!Good luck, let us know how it goes.B_BFinally back in the Badger State!

I just did one yesterday. 350 from the get go. Rub. throw on until internal temp of 165. Double wrap in foil and put back on and they are done in no time. Pull at desired temp. I am usually around 200. FTC for an hour and you are done. I did a 5lb butt in just under 4 hours yesterday and it was fantastic.LBGEZionsville, IN

Use a drip pan with an air gap. Those butts will sweat and you get bad smoke from the juices burning on your platesetter.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

This is how we did it at the GA Mt. Eggfest :
Turbo Butt or Brisket
By Kim Youngblood (Vidalia1), Jim Legros (Jupiter Jim)
and Bart Knies (H2O-VP)
Directions :
Prepare butts or brisket with rub of you choice. Set up BGE indirect with Egg at 350-375. Cook meat until internal of meat is 150-160. Usually this takes about 2 1/2 hrs. Double wrap meat in heavy duty aluminum foil and continue cooking meat for approx 1 1/2 hrs until meat temp is approx 200 degrees internal. A thermometer or fork should pierce the meat like going into warm butter. When the meat is done carefully unwrap the meat and drain the juice into a container to be used for later. Refrigerate juice. Rewrap the meat in foil and wrap in a towel and place in a cooler for 1-3 hours.
When you are ready to pull the pork or slice the brisket skim the fat off the juice and reheat the juice. When you are ready to serve, brush meat with juice and serve.
