My first Turbo Butt on 2nd level in Large - it's huge.

Thought I'd move the @StormBringer raised grid setup to my large and try Turbo Butt. Raised the bottom grid with firebricks and adjusted the rig to allow the butt to fit on the 13" grid and not touch the dome.


Cooked it at 350 degrees for 3 hours and debated wrapping it in foil. Went lazy and just left it. I did move the probe to a different part because I didn't believe the IT was at 165 after only 3 hours. It wasn't. :)  

I let it go another 3 hours and then pulled it off at 205 degrees internal. Let it rest for an hour then pulled and put drippings and some vinegar based sauce a local carpenter makes in the pans.





Brought to church potluck lunch today and it was GONE. Thanks for looking.

    Great adaptation and result.  Nailed it for sure.  I would inhale that.  Congrats.

    Thanks @lousubcap I just followed @Mickey's older post up to the foil part. Bark was really hard, but tasty, in some areas so maybe foil would be a good idea. 
    @Mattman3969 thanks for your kind words.

    Best pulled pork is where you have a little bit of bark on almost every piece like that. Looks awesome.

    @Hibby - I tried to separate meat in the pans so that most of the bark was in one. There are some folks, not me, who don't care for the taste of bark on anything. Wasn't successful there but I guess it didn't matter. =)
    @DonWW - Thanks for your kind words. As usual with potluck meals and the meat I bring, it just vanished ... rapidly. Most times I don't get to eat anything I cook unless I leave some at home :o

    True for me and I would guess the great majority of those who offer their groceries outside the house.  Great gesture and obviously not the first time.

    On the other hand, I do get to eat their food so it works out most of the time.
    I just have to stay away from the desserts table. Some of those ladies have way too much talent.
