I'm sure it's enough for 56 

Looking good, I haven't cooked butts in a longer time, where did you get it?

I'm doing 4 tonight and just planned on going 2 level. After seeing this I think I shall go single level.  Thanks for the inspiration!

That's a lot of butt!

Looking good so far.

@cannughead . I got them from a local debonning plant that I deal with . They are business friends so I get an amazing deal....

@pantsypants‌
If they taste as good as they look they will be a hit for sure. Way to go brother. =D>

So I woke up to my pit at 150 and the butts running an IT of 135
When i went to bed the butts were at 150 IT
I am sure they are fine but i would like some confirmation on this as I am serving a lot of people .
any one have thoughts on this ? ?

SGH

@pantsypants‌
They are perfectly fine. Keep cooking. You had already crossed the safety threshold when the internal hit 150 last night. You will not notice a thing.

pantsypants

@SGH   awesome thats what i figured , just wanted some confirmation .

now to finish these Turbo !!

Thanks

DMW

I see a temp controller in your future.

Are you using aluminum foil pans or something else?

pantsypants

Is that a XL?

How much did they weigh, what was there IT at pulling off the BGE and how long did it take.

I read some where on here that if they touched while they were cooking it slow the cooking process down, did that happen with this cook.

I need to feed forty on August 16th on my XL and am planning on doing four Butt's

Thanks,

Chuck

@grillmagic

these were 5 butts and not sure the weight . But i treated them like just a regular cook .

I did it low and slow over night but then kicked up to 350 to finish it off .
I pulled them when the IT was between 195-200 as I wrapping them fro a long time ( not feeding until 6 tonight )

and yeah if they touch it would slow the process down but i would imagine you could get 4 on an XL without them touching .

How long did it take ? I am not sure as i never really cook for time ... that said i put them on around 5 yesterday and pulled them 20 minutes ago !!

its simple dont stress it
