edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
OK, all you BGE owners/chefs- I need your vast BGE knowledge to answer the following questions. [p]1. How many pork butts will I need to cook to feed 50 people?[p]2. How many pork butts can my large BGE handle at one time?[p]3. Is the low/slow indirect method(using my BGE plate setter)
the way to go even when cooking 1+ butts[p]4. I would like to get suggestions on smoke to use, other than hickory[p]The event is 9/29/00, I look forward to reading your comments[p]Thanks,
The Norcross Pol

    The Norcross Pol,[p]I suspect that you'll be offering complimentary foods with the pork so (3) 7 to 9 lbs butts should be plenty. There is no need to change the cooking method because of multiple butts.[p]We don't use smoking woods too often so I'll pass on that recommendation. Good luck.[p]Puj
  • The Norcross Pol,
    I like pecan smole and Pulled Pork.
    Here are some guidelines: 3 oz. of PP on a bun for a light meal, 4 oz. of PP and 1 1/2 buns for a regular meal, and 5 oz, of PP and two buns for a heavy meal. I hope this helps. Fireball
