turbo butt - no foil - great bark!

I've been a fan of the turbo butt method for a couple years now, but always missed the good bark that a low and slow produced. After reading discussions I went with no foil yesterday and by 4 hr 40 minutes this 7.5 pounder had hit 200 internal. The bark was delicious and chewy! No more foil on turbo cooks for me!

Actually since I was busy doing other cooks for my class that night I "handed over" the 350 control to my BBQ Guru at 11:00 AM which kept it dead center at 350 the whole time. Sometimes "baby sitters" are well worth their cost - even for short times like this intended 5 hour cook. Was that cheating? I don't think so. -

BTW I was asked about the plateau if I thought not having foiled it made a difference and IMO I say no. There was a chance it was a tad drier, but it was still juicy. Another advantage was the grease cooked out of it as opposed to staying in the foil and then having to contend with all that mess. I kept some record of temps, but got busy and missed a 3 hr reading. My experience though was:
Butt went on at 34 degrees
in 1 hr it was 71
at 2 hr it was 128
at 2.5 hr it was 151
at 4 hr it was 186
at 4 hr 40 minutes it was 200 -
Good to know. I missed the bark when I did foiled turbo butts in the past. Never tried an unfoiled turbo butt - whenever i was going the turbo way, it was because i was squeezed for time and couldn't afford to screw up with an experiment.So if you don't mind, I'll happily ride the coattails of your experiment!#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I do turbo now a days. I do NOT see any difference.
But I do FTC at 195 or so and is very moist and melts in your mouth.

I think the only difference is the minimal amount of juice you loose by not wrapping, which I think is enough to offset the crazy bark you get from no foil.
@500 where you at?? This is your kind of discussion!!!-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky. -
The nice thing about knowing that turbo works is that allows for any cook time that fits your schedule. Depending upon butt size, if you have 12 hrs, use 250*. 8 hrs use 275* or a little higher. 6hrs go to 300* - 325*.

Thanks for the shoutout @Mattman3969. Naked Nitro Butts in my house. I can even go to Sam's for the butt in the morning and have pulled pork for dinner.

I'm attempting this today on a 8.5 lb

You shouldn't have any trouble on a Nitro Butt. It still needs to rests FTC for an hour. Enjoy the ride.I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

@RRP...did you "spritz"? If so, how often? I like to spritz 3 or 4 times when doing a "traditional" butt (cooking at 275....foiling at the stall). ThxPROUD MEMBER OF THE WHO DAT NATION!
