Butt this weekend - 1st half low and slow turbo to finish
Options

Posts: 401
Plan on doing on a butt tomorrow. PS up with drip pan, 250* for 4 hours then turn heat up to 350* When internal gets to 160* wrap in foil and return until about 195*. Poking when it gets close to that to feel when it feels like butter, and the FTC for a while.
Like my plan? I like bark, but am willing to sacrifice a little to avoid overnight cook.

Should be fine and should still have decent bark.

I'm in the camp of 325-350 all the way thru no foil. Great bark and still not overnight. I use to foil everything now I just cook straight thru. What rub you going to use?LBGE& SBGE———————————————•———————– Pennsylvania / poconos

Do of us that's how I turbo one. Double wrap and it will stay hot for hours in a cooler.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Probably use Dizzy Dust, although headed to store later and might grab some Bad Byron's.GreggLarge BGE Owner since December of 2013!

Personally I save my dd for ribs or chicken. A butt takes a lot of rub. I've gone through 5 lbs of Byron's in about 5 months. ..butts and brisketGreen egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

@IDoofusOfTheDay, I remember you said you are in Woodstock. FYI- Bub-ba-Q on 92 sells rub and I think it is a solid rub at a good price. It is like $12 for a small bucket o rub.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Actually in Marietta, but a couple minutes from Woodstock. We almost went to Bub-ba-Q last weekend. He makes a good brisket. I'll have to pick some up. Thanks!GreggLarge BGE Owner since December of 2013!

Awesome man...lemme know. I will have a 12er of PBR at the ready.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

I don't think I've ever had a PBR. Not being all high and mighty about the beer I drink, just haven't had one. My Dad was a Schmidts man, so you can see the stock I come from. Then he switched to Budweiser, I think because Schmidts went out of business? Anyhoo.GreggLarge BGE Owner since December of 2013!

Went to help load some furniture for a move across town for a couple hours. Egg temp creeped up to 320* while I was gone. Kind of surprised me, bottom vent and top vent maybe open 1/4" to 1/2" Not sure why it's so high, but is what it is. Tried closing the vents a little more, we'll see.GreggLarge BGE Owner since December of 2013!

And all done. Bumped to 350ish and didn't bother to foil it. It took about 2 1/2 hours at that temp. Now FTCing for an hour or so.So in summary, 4 1/2 pound butt, 4 hours at 250ish, maybe closer to 280, 2 1/2 hours at 350, and then FTC.Perhaps some pics later when I unwrap it.GreggLarge BGE Owner since December of 2013!

I left it on a little too long, seemed like about half was done, poking like butter, some not quite. So me thinks I should have pulled then and FTC. I left it on another half hour and should not have. I did not foil it at 160, so maybe foiling it might have made it moister?Dunno but it's fun experimenting!GreggLarge BGE Owner since December of 2013!
Marietta, GA -
I am guessing that it the half that didn't pull needs to cook longer. But then again chunks of meat always have a mind of their own.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

SWMBO informed me that the bark was much better on the low and slow, in her opinion.GreggLarge BGE Owner since December of 2013!
