I saw your title---"Turkey Butts'---I thought, "What the heck is a "Turkey Butt?"

Thanks all.  I guess I should make some of my reasoning known on this smoke.  We all know poultry should be done at a higher temp than other meats.  We also know that Pork Butt is forgiving of mistakes for the most part.  That is why I selected this combo.  I ran the smoker between 250-275 which is in my opinion the bottem of the poultry temps most often used.  I injected the bird and the butt very well and wrapped the butt at internal temp of 150 to preserve moisture.  The bird reached 140 F in just over 3 hrs/  It was a smaller 11 lb bird.  The final internal temp of the bird was 170 F.  Both came out moist.  I did not wrap the bird butt basted it regularly with a mix of rub, butter, and olive oil.  The butt was taken off at 200F.  Both were wrapped when finished and slow cooled and then refridgeerated over night as I did not want to get up at 3 AM sunday to cook.  Both were reheated to 160F internal in the house oven set at 325F Sunday for the meal.  There was no detrimental effects of the reheat as far as I could tell.  No one mentioned any dryness and I felt both remained moist after the reheat.
