Cooking for a friend

My wife's co-teacher broke her shoulder, so having trouble cooking.  I'm cooking an 8 lb butt which we will pull and take over along with my wife's cheesy potatoes, cole slaw, and some home made rolls.  There are 5 of them including 3 teenage boys, I figure there are at least two meals here.

As long as I am firing up the egg, I should do one for myself - right?  So I have two on the grill doing a "semi-turbo. I gave them an hour at 225, then opened up to about 300 grate (dome says 400).  Apple and pear wood for smoke.  Planning to pull and FTC around 4:00.

    Looking good brother. I cooked for a friend yesterday. Started at 5:00am and did not finish until 9:00pm. Looks like you were using your head and put some meat on for yourself but dumb me did not! Good luck brother let us know how it turns out.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Well played! Make a batch of pulls pork for a friend last week. Called and told me it was the best they've ever had... I think I ended up feeling better than they did after a compliment like that

    I pulled these off at 4:10, then into the cooler - had to run out to a church function from 5 to 7.  Came home and pulled and packaged.  Sadly, 12 lbs of fresh pulled pork that won't be eaten until tomorrow (except for the heavy sampling while it was being pulled).  Deelish.  I hope the injured family likes it as well as your friend did @Hapster!image
