First turbo butt

After many overnights I've decided to give turbo a try, especially after reading all the positive results from folks on here.
Butt was a little over 7 pounds, 340 dome temp, indirect. Rubbed with bad Byron's butt rub. Just pulled it after 5 hours. Seems fast but I was getting temps around 205 give or take all over the butt and the thermometer was going in like butter. It's FTC'd for now as I'm gonna eat with friends later today.
Looks great, we'll see how it tastes later!

Looks like a winner from here. Since I went turbo several years ago I've never gone back to lo & slo. Now I just have to figure someway to put my BBQ Guru to work!

Thanks, guys. It turned out great. This turbo style is a game changer! Had a good smoke ring, was moist, great bark. All in just 5 hours. Incredible. I’m sold on the turbo.

If I remember right a general guide for low and slow butts was about 1.5-2 hrs per pound. Any idea on the cook time for turbo method? I have had great success with low and slow, but the idea of more sleep and faster cook time is very appealing!LBGE- North of Atlanta, Georgia.

Looks GREAT!

Any way to get to the promised land is a good one. However, for those of us who enjoy the SWMBO eggscape time coupled with the adult supervisory beverages you are making a serious trade-off that should not be discounted.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Approximate cooking times for pork butt/shoulder:
225º: 2 hours a pound
250º: 1.5 hours a pound
275º: 1 hour per pound
350º: 30-45 mins per pound
There is a good amount of variability between individual pieces so take all times as rough. Times assume a full sized butt - 7-10 pounds. Temps are dome.

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

My 7.5 pounder was done in almost 5 hours exactly. I didn’t foil, either. Just went straight through. My friends were raving about the bark.
The key thing about turbo method is when your friends ask how long you smoked it for tell them 14 hours.

Ron I ll buy your guru if you decide to sell it.

Thanks for the offer. I was sort of saying that tongue in cheek. Actually after my original first generation one made by Shotgun Fred pooped out I bought a second one which is even more than just second generation.
I do an occasional class as well as a contract job so I count on my GURU. Besides that my Guru is my TRUSTED silent assistant maning my Thanksgiving day turkey and my Christmas ham while I'm busy with company let alone side dishes! Honestly the Guru is worth it's price for TD and CM alone. -
Another convert. My protocol when time matters. Otherwise I still prefer 275 till done. Great cook.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

I didn't use foil and the bark was perfect. Still can't believe how easy and fast this was done, tho I still love the process of the slo and low this turbo style is great when you want it done in a hurry.
