Turbo Butt timing

I did a 10# butt this weekend.  Since lurking here for quite awhile.  It seems as if quite a few Eggers have become converts to this method.  Seems to work the best overall.  My question is one of temp. Everything I read suggests that 45 minutes to an hour per pound is a reasonable time frame.  I chose this method because I wanted to Pickle ball in the afternoon.  Then I thought there was no way it would be done in time.  Boy was I wrong.  I dialed it in to 350 and put 4 nice pieces of hickory on for smoke.  Put the butt on @ 9:30 am.  During the cook I pushed it to a little over 400.  By 2:30 it was 200 degrees.  I foiled it and put it on the cutting board and,draped a towel over it while I went for pickle ball.  Came home, pulled it.  The bark was wonderful, crunchy and very tasty.  My wife had made Louisiana hot coleslaw.......,maybe the best BBQ we have ever made.....I can't imagine why turbo isn't the best choice for method of butt cooking! Is 
erring it range a little troublesome or no big deal?
