Sorry @MaskedMarvel and @Mattman3969, since I was mixing butt with picnic, mostly for bagging, it wasn't convenient and I was too chicken to put rooster sauce on my butts!
Ended up using the tried and true Elder Ward rub from a big batch I prepared recently. 350F dome temp all the way in the XL, no foiling, no water pan, took about 7 hours to hit 200 internal temp. Bark came out nicer than previous turbo attempt with foiling at 160F. Overall meat texture is quite good but not as moist as low and slow at 250F. I think 300F would be an ideal compromise.

Do you mail?Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Thanks for the turbo inspiration Mickey, makes life so much easier. How long do you think 300F will take? My low and slow at 250 usually takes 18 to 20 hours

Can't say. I like the smaller 7lbs at 350 for app 5 hours. I don't foil any longer. What size was yours?Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

The two butts on the left are about 5 lbs each; the picnic on the right about 9.5 lbs, they reached 200 and 195 respectively at the same time.canuckland

Looks great! You can keep one of those packets and send the rest to me
Did you cook raised indirect with the platesetter or just the drip pan? #1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

That looks great!! I've started doing about a 4-5 pound butt every other week that I can throw on the grill at 3pm and pull off by 730 when the kids are done with their activities. Works out pretty well. Haven't tried one any bigger then that but the bark is so consistent and it's such a easy weeknight cook it's been a constant for the last couple months.
I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season. -

BTW - I have started butts at 275* until they hit 150-160 and then increased temp to 350 still with no foil. There was a small moisture difference but not a lot.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.
