Holiday Weekend Turbo Butt

in Pork
Going to picnic with the fam at the 'rents. I'm supplying the pulled pork. It's smoking right now. Hope to pull it at temp and FTC on the way there, pull once dinnertime.
Going Turbo 350 indirect with water pan. 9lb butt with fat down. Why down? I have no idea, just what I did. Bad Byron's butt rub, cause I like it on pork, although I welcome other rub suggestions of what others enjoy. Cherry wood smoke.
Ordered some Ozark oak online with free shipping. Very happy with so far. Its my second cook with it, and it ignites much quicker, VOCs burn off quicker, and just seems to have a better aroma.
Also breaking in my new HiQue grate. Wow! What a difference! Gets to temp way faster and so much more stable. I really haven't had to adjust at all. This grate is making me wan to attempt a low and slow.
Here's the precook pic of my butt! Hopefully I can show yinz (translation: you all, for those of you not from Pittsburgh) my butt later!
Happy Memorial Day to all! Thanks to all those brave servicemen and women who fought for my freedom, while not even knowing me, and never asking for anything in return. Let's all remember that we have the freedoms to grill out, enjoy family and friends, and post freely on this forum because of these brave souls!

You said water pan. Did it contain water?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).

The waterpan did have water. With turbo I've had some problems with the bottom of the hunk 'o beast burning. I've found the water pan eliminates this. Also regulates the temp better for me.
Every time it runs out my temp shoots up 20deg though. I just need to check more often to keep filled.
Butt took 6.5 hrs. Probed like buttah'. Could get Cooke picks, but I'll take some before pulling. Traveling now. . .Pittsburgh, PA - 1 LBGE -
