First off....I understand that when cooking a butt you go by either internal temp or probe tender.....that being said how long, minutes/hours per pound, will a boneless butt take at 325*? Just looking for an educated guess for planning purposes... Butt in question is about 6.5 pounds.

    I'm interested in knowing if you can turbo more than one butt at a time.......I just did one for 41/2 hours at 350 and it was great......Used the igrill 2 to cook til 190 internal.....ftc'dmfor an hour, pulled and it was superb!!!!

    Question is can I add my other grate and do 2 8 lb butts using the same method......I'm sure I'll have to eventually buy another probe for the igrill 2........butt it worked flawlessly the first time on the one 8'lb butt......

    I would guess at 4-5 hours.  If you foil it, you can speed thing along a bit

    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.

    40 to 45 minutes per pound at 350 works for me. Cook to an IT of 200 if you plan to FWC. Otherwise I go to 203. BTW with a turbo I never foil during the cook. Foiling seems to ruin the bark for me on a turbo and rushing the stall isn't needed as it doesn't even blink.
