Start Of A Small Cook

CTMike

My MIL passed away in January, and we are doing a Celebration of Life Saturday up in NH. Borrowed a friends Shirley and just 8 butts in to the smoke bath. I'm also doing 6 chuckies to make PSB for those that don't eat pork. 

I think some of these porkers must've been on growth hormones as I had a couple 10 & 12 lb butts (average is typically 8 in my experience). Feeding around 100 adults plus kids.

Sorry for your loss, Solid Cook , lately butts I have been getting are in the 10-12 pund range especially if you are not buying comoddity pork

Thanks. Hopefully that competition box is holding up well.

After getting some color on the chuckies I added some red, orange, and jalapeño peppers, along with 4 cans of Guinness to each pan. I'll let them braise and let the jus thicken up quite a bit before covering the pan with foil till the finish.
