Do you turn your longer cooks like pork butts or even brisket half way through the cook?

Nope. I either dont touch it until at temp, or dont touch for 8 hours and then mist with vinegar and juice. No need to flip. What are you trying to achieve by flipping?

Don't flip, just let it cook to temp.

I flip at about 8 hours into cook. I think it helps the bark by letting the bottom dry up. I am sure it is NOT needed and I have let it cook until 195 without touching the grill. It just depends on my mood.I grill therefore I am.....not hungy.
