turbo and I like it

Tried a new(to me) technique and smoked a pork butt turbo styie. I covered it with a mustard slather and seasoned with Dizzy Dust red eye express.

I filled the fire box with lump and some hickory, lit the center and setup it for indirect cooking. Normally I would cook at 235°- 250° but for this one I ran at 320°.

One other change and it was a hard one was not peeking for eight hours, hard really hard for me. Took it off when temperature reached 200, wrapped in foil and put in my playmate cooler for an hour

The results were a super moist tender chunk of meat with a crunchy crusty bark. This will be repeated just to see if it was a fluke or my new go to cook for pulled pork. 

After pulling out the bone, I just used the heel of my hand and pushed this baby. 


I hope you like. Will I try this again, definitely.

    Once you go turbo you never go back.

    My only exception is the Peach Glazed Pork Butt offered up here by Yukon Ron. 
    That requires a low and slow, IMHO.

    Low and slow will still be in the arsenal.

    It wasn't a fluke.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I have been using this one for a while now.  Works every single time.

    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    Been a big fan of turbo for years now! Even done blind tests with other eggers and a few monster metal trailer rascals and none - did I say - NONE of us could determine any taste difference much less texture etc!

    Cooking at 325-350 might also give a cleaner smoke profile compared to low and slow temps in the Egg?

    I have also embraced turbo with the egg. Curious though, why no peaking? I still mist.

    I thought it might keep the temperature from fluctuating.
