    Nice.

    Why do you wrap strings around them?

    If buying pork butts from Costco they are boneless and need to be tied to cook them evenly.

    OP it looks good, what is the total weight of the 4?  How many folks are you planning on feeding?

    Good luck with the party!

    Not sure of the total weight, I never really looked.  Two packages of Costco butts ( two per package ).  We have about 60 people to feed and about 1/3 of those are kids.
