Bought a 8 pounder this morning. Set up for indirect heat at 350 degrees. Added a couple handfuls of hickory soaked chips and hoping for some good eats this evening!!!

Sounds good. Are you planning to wrap after 4 hours or whenever the bark is set?
I've been doing mine at 300 degrees of late, and honestly I can't tell any difference between them and the ones I used to do at 230 degrees all night long. Except that I don't have a fitful night's sleep.

This. And I never foil mine. As far as I know, most folks don't. It's a butt, not a brisket. On at 9-10AM, done by dinner time.
I hate it when I go to the
kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
Gonna wrap around 160 and then put on for another hour till done 🙏
just a heads up when I wrap mine its usually about 3 hours in and then its done about 2 hours later. just so you have an idea for your timing. best of luck, looking forward to the results.
Never came back and gave the results. Turbo'd for 4 1/2 hours at 350, let it sit wrapped in foil for an hour, pulled the meat and it was delicious. Probably won't even wrap and let sit next time due to a slightly soggy exterior but otherwise no need to slow cook butt any longer
I am 10 hours into a low and slow right now. I did one turbo butt that I didn't wrap and I thought it was dryer than my low and slow butts. I guess I need to try another one that I wrap some where around 160.
