    Looks similar to the 5 lb one I did a few weeks ago.  Pulled pork in less then 5 hours is a good thing.

    I'd much rather do an all nighter. I enjoy the wife pimp slapping me when the maverick goes off. No, seriously. I go out around 2 am and shut the vents. An hour later.... Pimp slap.

    @mickey Did you 250 it to an IT of 165, then foil and do 350 to finish?  I need to do something for an event this wednesday and thought I might have to be up all night.  I would to try this and be half way productive at work that day.  Thanks for the help.

    TURBO BUTTS · Hot'n fast, 350 for 3 hours to internal to around 160, then wrap in foil and 2 more hours to 195/200 and then let it rest for an hour or so wrapped in towels in a ice chest. Falls apart and oh so good! Have fun! · Be sure you only get a 7lb butt or so for the time (or a couple for more protein ) . Note: The butt box is not required. I use mustard & Bad Byron's Butt Rub (both not required). I put on the rub, then mustard, then rub once more.

    Lookin good. I still prefer the overnighter for flavor, but for the savings in time, the turbo butt is hard to beat.

    Yup, only way to cook a butt. I have been all in on turbo for over a year now, thanks to you.

    It's all in what you enjoy-if you want hot&fast then turbo is the cook of choice-If you prefer the low&slow with the attendant protracted adult supervisory beverage time then there you are.  And for the newbies-the end-product of each is different but you should drive each road and make your own choice.  But should you land in the low&slow camp don't tell @Mickey :)>-

    DAMN!!  That pulled pork looks great!  You are the master of the turbo method and yours looks better than any turbo i've seen.  Something tells me you're not sharing all your tricks!  lol
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

    @mickey was cooking indirect for this. A lot of folks (me included) have been skipping the foil because it softens the bark. Your cook will be similar in time if you just cook 350° straight through with no foil IMHO

    Sorry, I am old and slow. NO FOIL, NO FOIL anymore. I changed several months ago and just noticed it was in this old post.

    For us newbies, can you do an overnight cook without any external temp controllers on a LBGE?
    I'd like to try it if it ever stops snowing...
  • Mattman3969
    Mattman3969 Posts: 10,457
    You certainly can. Once you get the egg dialed in to temp and let it stabilize for a hr or so you should be good. I have to admit that I haven't done an overnighter in a while since I learned to Turbo my butts. I really like my sleep so I would rather get up early and cook a bit hotter than cooking during the night.

    All I have is a maverick and all it does is tell me meat and grid temp. Just did a butt the other day and it was the best one yet.
