Has anyone upped the temp and get one up to 200* without waiting 16 hours and how did it turn out? I just want to try smoking one with high heat and not take so damn long because i have to believe it can be done faster.

Quite a few go the 300° route and defy ya to tell the difference. Off the top of my head... BBQ Bubba. And I have had it. Good. Not what he does in comps tho...In God I trust- All others pay cash...Check out the Mad Hunky and products at https://madhunkymeats.com or https://www.facebook.com/MadHunkyMeats

I am the slow poke with these typically.... 225*..... I have 2 in the smoker now @ 250* cause thats as hot as she will get.... Some will push 300* on them it sounds like... So I guess I'm really no help at all.... .... Rich, looks like you have a faster "enter" finger than I.sigpic

in general i do my pp at an average of 250 degrees, but i don't get bent out of shape the temperature goes 25 degrees in either direction. i have seen with briskets that injecting or otherwise marinading them will speed up the cooking times by a fair percentage.Fundamentals matter.

Quickest? Never heard of it. Great pulled pork is like fine wine -- you can't rush it. You might get away with it once or even twice. But, in the end it will bite you in the butt if you try to get away with it.

quick might be a poor choice of words, but "225 degrees at all costs" is unnecessary, in my opinion. it seems to me that slightly higher temperatures in the neighbourhood of 250 degrees are necessary in order to get that browning/carmelizing/whatever savory flavour that only our good friend maillard can provide. 225, in my opinion, carries diminished returns due to the risk or drying out a big hunk of meat (or even ribs, for that matter).
having said that, there is absolutely no way to avoid the fact that for best results, you're going to have meat over fire for quite a long time. time is the only thing that will break down the connective tissue and melt that collagen into all that rich, perfect goodness!Last edited by TasunkaWitko; 11-18-2010, 11:32 AM.Fundamentals matter.

it's definitely ALL good ~ the rest is just coke vs. pepsi, chevy vs. ford etc. ~
for those who stick to 225, i suggest trying 250. for those who go up to 300, i suggest 250 as well! ;)Fundamentals matter.

Heres a 8 pounder i did in 4.5 hours(WSM)...Delicous....Depends a lot on your smoker....Most folk have never seen meat come off a high dollar rig like a Jambo that are used by many top comp smokers....They cook much hotter then the low-n-slow- crowd and the bark/color of meat is incredible for short period in the smoke....These jambo style rigs are all direct heat..No reverse flow etc..and double insulated with sometimes triple insulated firebox...Extremely efficent(new school) .....
I cook at the temp that fits my fancy at the moment....Everything from 225-360 degree....

You, Sir, may have a future in politics
having said that, my advice is ALWAYS for people to go with what works for them, but not be afraid to try new things. since pandy asked about shortening the cooking time, i recommended a slight modification in method for him to try that definitely will not sacrifice the final product.
another suggestion would be to remove the fat cap and trim all exterior fat down to 1/4 inch.Fundamentals matter.

Heck, when rushed, I have even taken a butt and cut it into 3 inch wide hunks...increased surface area, increased bark, increased beatuimus pink purple smoke ring, and the rest of my day to do something else. It is no different than triple size CSR's. 16 hours?? Nope, I have other stuff to do.
And it was phenomenal too!BBQ Eng.
