? About my butt
Options
Sooner Egg
Posts: 578
I'm cooking an 8lb butt for a family get together Friday evening and was wondering if I could shave a little time off the cook by increasing the temp to say 300, would doing so make a huge difference in the final product, even though I will still pull at 200 internal temp?....work precludes me from doing a long lo & slo Thursday into Friday

You should be fine, Sooner. I usually do the old faithful 250º overnight routine, but if you're pressed for time, you'll still have some fine BBQ if you crank her up a bit. Take a look at the link, below:
Quick Cook Boston Butt
He goes as far as 350º and claims they're done to 195º internal in roughly 5 hours.
Cheers,

thanks for link, will have to give that a try, no way I have 12-15hrs for a lo & slo, but 5 hours I do have

No problem, Michael. Report back and let us know how it turns out. Note that he foils them at the three hour mark.

The hot and fast butt is all I do now, 350* for 5 hrs total....for 3, then last 2 hrs foiled to an internal of 200* and in a cooler for about an hr or less..works great!!

It wasn't the plan, but I did a fast cook right after I got my BGE. It was due to my poor temp control. The fast cook didn't exactly line-up with the offical fast cook profile, but the temps certainly exceeded my original plan and the butt was done in around 6 hrs. Tasted good and no one complained.
