in Pork

I kept reading about turbo style and tried the other day on some ribs.  I must say I was amazed by the time and how tender/juicy they were.  attached is a picture of  the finished product.  I decided to use mesquite just for the heck of it.  looks like a powerful smoke ring..  They tasted wonderful and I used a new pork rub from Costco.

    It's a turbo butt for me on Sunday too. I have too hard a time holding a low and slow temp and I'm not bold enough to do an overnight cook.

    Turbo Butt came out pretty good but I didn't hold a 350 temp so it took about 6.5 hours.

    Turbo rules..... Baby Back Turbo Ribs (No flip) 350 indirect for 1hr 40 min. Before cooking: Pull membrane , rub, mustard, rub. Put on at 350 and leave the hell alone for about that time. This is called turbo ribs and I will never go back to 4 and 5 hour ribs. Note: with or w/o mustard works .. I like Bad Byron's Butt Rub / I like cherry & pecan mix for wood. If you want sauce: opened 15 min early and sauce. I like the sauce on the table.
    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.

    TURBO BUTTS. · Hot'n fast, 350 for 5 hours to internal to 200. Falls apart and oh so good! Have fun! · Be sure you only get a 7lb butt or so for the time (or a couple ((same amt of time)) or more for more protein ) . Note: The butt box is not required unless holding for dinner. I use mustard & Bad Byron's Butt Rub (both not required). I put on the rub, then mustard, then rub once more. Ps: I do not foil. Also good with the coffee rub.

    Thanks! I always have admired you on these boards, Mickey.  Met you a couple years ago as a shy, timid, picking up my first egg gentleman in Salado at the fest.

    Sorry but can't put a face. Just saw where you live in Austin. That first and second Salado Fest I could not remember myself being there.
