Option 6> low and slow both of them. Or is this not an option on your cooker? I know given the weights of the butts I've seen folks do 2 on a SBGE with some ingenuity and if on a LBGE or XLBGE it's absolutely no issue. But, I'm not familiar with KJ Jr setup options.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Thanks for the compliment - I have to ask though how big is a KJ Jr? If the size is sufficient my advice is to go with option 4 - hands down! Clarification though that will be both butts at the same time for the 5 hours...not 5 hours for one and then starting the other for 5 more hours.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

@RRP @NPHuskerFL its is the size of a small roughly 13'' grid without the depth for more charcoal... what about standing them both up somehow? I think i can get it low n slow but will i see any real difference then turbo? I always wrap at 165ish and do LnS but was thinking this may be the best time for a turbo set....just not sure.Beaufort, SC

Could you be overthinking this? My heard started hurting after option 3. I recommend whichever method allows for the most drinking and the most sleep!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

See my edited comment? If you can shoe horn in the two at the same time do it, making sure you maintain 340 to 350. And due to the closeness be sure you are cooking indirect! As for foil - I would not! Foil on a turbo cook screws up the bark IMO.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Another thought - with the KJJr is the dome thermometer removeable? That way you can pull it out close dome and reinsert the thermometer so as to not impale a butt messing up the temp reading plus bending the therm probe.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Low n slow the first one overnight, then FTC. Next turbo the 2nd. Both good techniques and you'll be able to compare the two methods.

You do understand the rest in opt 4 is not mandatory? It's just there to get you to dinner. Opt # 4 if it were me.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

@Mickey I use the rest as a buffer in case butts need more cooking time but yes sir i know its not mando. ThanksBeaufort, SC

since you said you wrap in foil at 165 anyways, wrap it and toss it in the oven while you start your turbo butt.....that would be OPP6
honestly, if you can fit them both in, go with what you know and are comfortable with or go with OPP6

That's your call!!! personally even though I an highly tolerant to the taste of salt I found BB to be horribly salty and honestly I threw out that bottle of rub after that first disaster! Maybe you will like it. Again - you asked my opinion and I gave it like it or not! Ok?Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I vote for turbo both at the same time. FTC when done and take that to the party. You can pull the meat there. Everyone will be drooling whole you're pulling.
Otherwise I think http://eggheadforum.com/profile/14337/fishlessman has the best idea.Pittsburgh, PA - 1 LBGE -

First let me point out that im not one of the wizards or the elite. However I do have a kamado joe jr.
I will keep this short and sweet. Looking at the size of your butts and taking into account the head room of the joe jr. I would recommend running 300-325. You will avoid scorching and still achieve a very fast cook. The head room on the jr. is why I limit the temp on turbo. Reflective heat can and will become a issue on extended cooks. Not as much of a problem on the larger cookers. That being said I would turbo both of them. In case you are wondering Myron Mixon has more than proved that hot and fast works. Hard to argue with the winningest man ever. Just remember with the jr try to stay around 325 to avoid scorching or drying from the reflective heat from the dome. Hope this helps my friend.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
