BBQ Shortcuts: Can an InstantPot beat Hot and Fast?

I've been super busy lately and trying to find ways to get good BBQ flavor without having to man the pit for a full day. I compared the hot and fast to going low and slow, but kicking it up a notch when it came time to wrap. Can the Instant Pot beat out the hot and fast method?

Very informative video. Good technique if you only have limited time but wants a good BBQ.

You do very good tests. Could you perform a test showing the temperature gradient inside the kettle? Recently I did ribs on the kettle using the sns. I had my pro e at grate level about 2 inches from the edge. Another probe hanging thru the vent so the tip is about 2 inches above the meat. I was reading 220 degrees at the grate, and 275 degrees above the meat and the installed thermometer matched the probe thru the vents. So I'm not sure what the true cooking temperature was.

There can be a 100 degree difference between the grate and the lid. Put your probe at the same level of the meat, an inch or more away from the food, and grill on. The only temp that matters is where your food is.
