Ordered My Meat!

I am lucky to live near a first rate butcher! I am having a smallish gathering on July 3rd to christen the new Tiki Bar and to have a generally good time (ok it is ALL a sham to allow me to cook WAY too much food). I am guessing there will be around 10 people.
I ordered
1 - 8 lb bone in picnic (boston butt)
3 slabs of thier ultra meaty Spare Ribs
1 - 3 lb Chuck Roast (just because I have never made pulled beef and thought - why not)
2 lbs of thier home made bacon - I love to lay it on my ribs to keep them ultra moist during the 3 part of my 3/1.5/1[p]My plan is to toss the butt on around 7 pm the night before - I figure about 16 hours for that - then wrap it up and cooler it for 5 hours while I 3/1/1 the ribs and cook the chuck (It will probably take 6ish hours).[p]The fall back is to have enough Margaritas, beer and home made bourbon avaialble to keep people happy if the food is a tad late[p]Should be a good time and test of the BBQ guru as well![p]I will take pics!

    Rumrunner,
    What I really mean to say is the results of my experimentation to resolve the nation’s fuel shortage and energy challenges using readily available grains, techniques and equipment that allow the fermentation followed by the distillation of natural components into a combustible alcohol source. :D
