In the hot and fast method,what is the cook temp for a butt?I'd like to try the method for vending.Do you foil at any point?

When I've cooked butts hot and fast, I cooked them around 350°, and foiled at about the 2.5 - 3 hour mark, (155 - 165° internal), cooking 8.5lb butts this way you can have them finished to pulling in about 5 hours or just over.

Do they still have the smokey flavor of a long slow smoke? if so I'll give it a try.

No they don't have as much smoke, but they do have a smoked flavor rather than just an oven roasted flavor!

Probably 45 - 50% of the smoke of a low and slow cook.

If you leave them unwrapped for another 1 - 2 hours longer but drop the temp to around 250 at the 2 1/2 hour mark, they do get a little bit more smoky flavor. I will wrap them at about the 3 1/2 - 4 hour mark and let them finish off for another hour or two depending on the size and internal temp. I get them to an internal temp of 198 minimum.

I would think the smoker/fuel used would make a big difference in smoke flavor. I did a couple last weekend on a Good-one using charcoal with apple wood at 300-325°, foiled at 3.5 hours, done in 5.5. I thought it had a good smoke flavor and ring.
Keep in mind that the amount of smoke flavor desired can vary ALOT.

A buddy of mine went down to Georgia and took MM's class and came back full of great info. I started cooking my butts 300 degrees using peach wood. My customers and myself think that my pork is better than ever! ! I wrap at 165 and go until 200. Fantastic! ! The real upside is that I've cut my cook time in half!!
