Impromptu Turbo Butt

CornfedMA

Was out doing errands this morning and decided I wanted some smoked meat tonight. Picked up a small 5 lb butt from the butcher on the way home. Going turbo in hopes of a dinner time finish. Went on just before 1. Sitting at 147, 3 hrs in. 

Never done a turbo cook before.

Here. We. Go.

When you say turbo, at what temp are you cookin'?

345 seems to be where the XL wants to hang out this afternoon. Going to wrap around 160 with a little beer or apple juice.

Thanks.. would like to hear how it turns out.  My usual low'n slow on the lg is  about 275.

Here’s the finish. Not my best work, but it more than satisfied my hankering. I doubt I’ll ever go back to the old 250-275, low and slow cook. This was tender, moist, pulled easy, had good bark, and just the right amount of smoke. Not sure what else I could ask for, except to maybe use a different rub next time. Other than that, this was a total success. Paired with Pat Martin’s White sauce that I mixed up quickly.

Looks like a winner!!~~

Great result right there.  Nailed the audible.  
Regarding not going back to low&slow-you need to consider the loss of SWMBO eggscape time with adult supervisory beverages when you transition to the turbo world.  That factor alone carries significant weight.  FWIW-
