Howdy Eggers. Long time creeper, first time poster. I have been Egging for about a year. I am looking at some suggestions for an upcoming cook I have.

I teach at a school and I have been asked to bbq some pork shoulders for a picnic in early June. I have a Large BGE with the Ceramic Grill Store's Adjustable Rig R&B combo and a rig extender. Is 7 shoulders on this a possibility, or is this going to be a back to back cook? I have never done this much before, so any and all advice will be much appreciated.

I got 5 once, and it was a bit of a challenge. 7 would be pretty impressive. Might be time to buy another egg.

I have to admit. I would love to see a picture of seven. I think we need more info. 7 boneless is possible--maybe--7 bone in--??? Me, I would cook them hot back to back. Start early morning and be done before bed. Shred the first load while second is cooking. Shred 2nd load. Night night

7 12 pounders, probably not. Do yourself a favor. Precook all you need and food saver 2# portions with a splash of Coca Cola. You can reheat in simmering water without timing concerns or last minute worries. A turkey fryer is perfect for the simmering. Very easy. Comes out like it just came off the egg. My 2 cents. Welcome aboard! Truly admire teachers brother!

Five is the most I've done. That's about all I could fit.

I'm feeding 225, but pork is only one item. We are also cooking chicken, burgers, and hot dogs with a bunch of sides.

I think you'll have to do two cooks. Even estimating each person taking 4oz of pork, you'll need roughly 94lbs of meat.

Where are you located? Depending on where you are and when the event is, a fellow egger might be able to help out.

or just go with the obvious. Cook ahead and rewarm.
