cali_egghead · March 2014

Im doing my second pork butt tomorrow and want to hear peoples opinions on turbo vs low and slow. I did low and slow last tima and it turned out great I f I do turbo what temp should I do it at?

Feel free to give other suggestions too. Thanks!

I still like the low and slow. Turbo would be 350 to 375.

I am in the turbo camp. 350 straight through and no foil Nice bark and still juicy and tender

How long would a 7lb butt take to cook on turbo @Mattman3969

Low and slow. That's what real BBQ cooks do. >:/

I seem to do mine low and slow and turbo. I'll put on two Costco or Restaurant Depot shoulders the night before at 225 - 250F and let them go until about 6am. By then they're usually around stall somewhere. Then I open the Egg up a bit to around 300 - 325F and power through the stall and get them to temp, say 200 - 210F IT and so the probe goes in nice, usually not more than 2 - 3 more hours. Then FTC until I need them later in the day or pull and put into large baggie and into fridge or freezer. They make great gifts!

Depending on the how the meat wants to act I generally see 45min - 1hr per lb
