Has anyone tried pork burnt ends turbo?

Tomorrow, I'll be doing a thanksgiving trial run on a turkey. I have a 15lb bird and will be cooking at 350.  

I also have pork shoulder country style ribs that I want to use for pork burnt ends.  Has anyone tried the turbo method on these?  How'd they turn out? 

Thanks

    I would say after smoking if your planning on saucing in a iron skillet like some guys are doing the sauce could burn pretty easy at that temperature I think.

    After phase 1, could I finish in the oven at 275?  Would this impact texture at all?

  • The ones I did last weekend I took the pork cuts to about 165 and then cubed and out em in the sauce for 5 hrs.   3 hrs woulda worked but was in no hurry.  Getting them to 165 I think I ran around 325.  Went a little lower after cubed.   Hope this helps...

    @marysvilleegger  Very nice.  I need to try the pork burnt ends.

    Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

    Brother I have done them at a little over 400 degrees several times. I use 2 cheap disposable aluminum pans. They cost 97 cents a piece. Take one pan and put sand or rocks in it. Sit the next pan inside of the first pan. This will prevent scorching. When you are done, simply throw away the two cheap pans. No clean up at all. You can use sand, dirt or rocks in the first pan. Heck you can use just about anything in the first pan. I use dirt as it's free and abundant. If you are not comfortable using dirt, ball up a few balls of aluminum foil. They all work the same. Here is a tip, the burnt ends finished at high temps will be a little crispier on the outside. Some folks actually prefer this, others do not. Myself I like both.

    As far as temp goes I would do it like @marysvilleegger. Disposable pans doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Finish in oven should be fine.
