      That is the definition of turbo for sure but what did it taste like and was it tender and juicy?

        Very tender and juicy. I've done low & slow @ 225-250 and can't tell the difference in taste going turbo. I get requests from family and friends to do these all the time, it's always a big hit. It saves me over half the time it takes to go low & slow. Try it and see if you like it. Hotty Toddy, my son graduated from Ole Miss.

        That's great, my son in law is a chemistry professor at Ole Miss and my grandson graduated from there in 2015 from the engineering school and is now a biomedical engineer at Smith & Nephew. Hotty Toddy!

        My son graduated in 2004 with Eli and my great uncle was an economics professor there in the mid to late 60's, his name was Louis Brandt. Small world.

      Very nice. Yeah, how was it. I have cooked a few that hot before. They were a little dry. Curious to hear what you think. It does have some great looking bark.

Never had a dry one when I pulled around 195.

        Did it have a good smoke flavor? What kind of grill did you use?

          I am definitely going to have to try this, I would be cooking it on a KJ Big Joe so about the same, add some peach or apple for the smoke and maybe have to pick up some pecan wood to try also. Do you put a water pan under the meat or just a drip pan without water?

          I put a water pan, because the drippings will end up burning at the higher temps. You may have to add water from time to time. My times and temps vary a little from time to time because no two pieces of butts are exactly the same. LMK how it turns out for you.

          The water in the pan should definitely help keep the meat moist and also aid in the smoke sticking to the meat.

        wow, man that is picture perfect looking bark, I know you used apple juice water, salt and sugar but was it equal parts of all or different measurements?

          The injection was
          3/8 cup apple juice
          1/4 cup water
          1/4 cup white sugar
          1/8 cup kosher salt
          1-Tbl. Worcestershire sauce
          This was for an 8 lb. butt

          Those look awesome. I am a big fan of hot and fast. I cooked a brisket that way before Christmas and it was incredible. No leftovers. I’m all for saving a few hours without compromising flavor and juiciness. Did you wrap?

              One thing I did with a pork butt in my Masterbuilt electric smoker when the electric at our house was off for three hours and friends coming over for a pool party. We left to pick up some things and when we return I notice the microwave is not on and panic, go out and check the smoker and it has no power either (what a surprise). Near as I could tell the butt had about two hours in the smoke but not much more. No way would it be ready if I put it back in the smoker so after the power was restored I put the butt in my pressure cooker with some of my basting liquid (apple juice, onions and jalapenos) and cooked it for 45 minutes under high pressure, turned out amazing. All of our friends loved the smoked pulled pork and mentioned how it was so juicy. Turned out well that day.
