Pulled Pork on the 2 Star

[KJRsmoker]

Smoked 4 pork butts from Costco on my 2 Star yesterday. Tried a new method that I read somewhere. Cooked at 225 F for 3 hours, raised temp to 325 F until internal temp of 165 F. Double foiled then cooked until internal temp of 195 F. FTC for 3 hours then pulled and vacuum sealed. Took about 8 hours total on smoker (some finished before others). Usually I would cook on 225 F until IT of 165 F then foil and continue to cook at 225 F until internal temp of 195 F. That would take anywhere from 11 to 16 hours. This new method was much faster and I didn't notice any difference in taste or tenderness. This new method will be my new way of cooking the butts.

Very nice!
I have tried this too and it works great but there is still something to be said for "I smoked this for 14hrs"

Proof that there's more than one way to BBQ something. I've tried it a few times and have come to the same conclusion as you with taste and tenderness but have found there's room and desire for both hot n fast and low n slow in my BBQ cooking processes.
