4 boston butts

edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
Since my girl is out of town tonight I figured I'd fire up the egg. I called the butcher about 3 days ago to order 3 butts. When I went to pick them up today he noticed that they were smaller than we discussed on the phone so he suggested 4 butts. I figured why not since the extra is going in the freezer. (Being from eastern NC I don't get the same pulled pork in ATL as I'm used to at home.)[p]I am using Elder Wards guidance (thanks for the website Whiz) and best of all I am trying out my new GURU. I realize I probably should have tried it would with less of an investment to begin with but I figured I go for broke.[p]Anyway I just stuffed the 4 butts in my LRG egg and poured a drink. Should be a great lunch tomorrow if all goes well. Too bad she took the camera or I'd post a pic.[p]One thing (if anyone has read this far). I have one larger butt 2 mediums and 1 small. I have my guru plugged into the large and a extra probe plugged into the smallest. I assume I can pull the smaller ones off first if they get ready faster.[p]RNW

    RNW,
    You will be fine...if I was gonna say to change anything at all...and I`m not saying you need to....put the guru probe in the smallest butt, when its done then put the probe in one of the others until they are done...just a suggestion, absolutlely not necessary..butts are VERY forgiving..[p]Wess

    WessB,[p]The last one I cooked I opened the cooker once - to take off the butts.[p]I like the addition to your webiste. Your site was my guide on my first few ribs. I don't care what you say, taking off the membrane sucks - or my butcher already did it and I just can't tell. I can get it on the spare ribs its the BB i can't get.[p]Like the deck renovation as well.

    RNW,
    I have had one or two packs from costco that I finally just gave up on and figured the membrane must have already been removed...but they are few and far between....but it does happen sometimes...Thanks for the kind words..and you WILL get the hang of it..can do 3 rakcks typically in less than 3 minutes..[p]Wess
