Low and slow for work lunch

Hasenpheffer · March 2005

I am cooking a 9.91 lb Boston Butt tomorrow for a work lunch on Monday. This will be the biggest one I've done yet so I'm looking for a little advice. [p]I will keep the egg between 225 and 250 degrees. I'm guessing the full cook will be between 18-20 hours. Is this about right?[p]Also, how many people would you expect size butt to feed (serving pulled)?

I'd expect it to cook in closer to 15 hours. Figure 1.5 hours per pound of raw weight.[p]Figuring on 1/4lb per person, I'd say that you have enough to 18 to 20 people (depending on how much waste there is when pulling).[p]-Ryan

Hasenfeffer,[p]Keep the dome no lower than about 250 degrees and your time will be about right. That butt will feed about 15-17 people.[p]Dave

Hasenfeffer,[p]Expext 60 percent yield, three servings per pound unbless you have lot of big guys. So, six pounds x three servings per pound = 18 servings. I would figure 1 1/2 to 2 hours per pound, every butts different.
