First High heat Butt

Put butt on 9:30 this morning, let temp get away during the first hour, temp went up to 450 ish for maybe 20 mins or so ( foiled empty water pan). got temp down to 350 and pretty much stayed there the rest of the cook. At 1:30 meat thermometer read 195 ish, foiled and let on the cooker to just about 200, put in paper lined cooler for 2 hrs, pulled and tasted great.

Any thoughts of what I could have or should have done different.

the end result was pretty darn good, so all and all I'm happy with the cook. Will be cooking high heat again, for sure. John
 
Could do differently? Not really, except for setting up so that the temps don't get away from you in the beginning. You handled that well and your cook sounds quite successful so should have done differently? No.

The Butt was 7.1 lbs, I can't believe how fast it cooked. I have to say to my un-trained eye and taste buds, I thought it was about as good as any butt
I cooked low and slow, IMHO.
Family thought it was great also. John
 
Good to know John for those cooks where time is of the essence. Good to see that it came out well. Sure shows how resilient a cut butt is.
 
John did you have any unrendered fat more than usuall? I did my first high temp butt over the weekend and had great results also. Not sure if there was more unrendered fat or if I was being picky.
 
Randy,

I didn' really notice a difference in the renderd fat, I might not have enough experience to notice that. What I do know, is it was very tender and juicy (moist). i really don't think I noticed any difference from a low temp cook.
For me other than timing issues, i think i'll stick to the high temp cook for butts. John
