Chris how long did it take to do the butts with high heat?
What I did was for the first five hours was run the pit around 300-325. Then I tailed it off to 240. The larger one which (9lbs) took a little over nine hours and the smaller one(7lbs) took about 8 hours. Today I ran into some problems when I took the heat down I for about an hour I could not get the smoker past 225. This seemed to slow down the process because over the I was getting them done in 7-8hrs. I also do not foil which will result in longer cook times than those that run around the same temps.
If you have not tried this yet I would recommend you give it a try. It is a lot less work they babysitting the stick burner for 12-16 for long low and slow cook. When I do it this way I cannot taste a difference.
