Pulled Pork for the Luau

Our company hosted a business after hours, so my brother helped me smoke 70 LBS of pork butts for pulled pork. It cooked down to 30 LBS, took a total of about 36 hours in cooking time (3 - 12 hour cooks), and the finished product was such a hit I'm still taking phone calls from people that attended raving about the meat. I ended putting about a liter of Coke into 20-ish Lbs of pork, and it came out fantastic. I was amazed how the meat soaked up the moisture

cool Mark! So the party was there in your office or did it spill out on to the street? Looking foward to Oswego!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

That's a lot of pig...36 hours! How often did you have to add lump? After about 16 hours my lump is usually gone but so is my cook. But I did have room for more lump in the beginning.

Good job spreading the BGE gospel! Of course Lindy's will be paying you your regular commission for sales of eggs - right?Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I did a cook of 14 hours, then added lump and started the second cook. Meanwhile, my brother did 4 butts on his LG BGE, so all told it was about 36 hours.
And thanks Ron, the coke made it perfect, and I'm stoked about Oswego TOO!
