Well My Butts Are Done

BENTE

well actually they are in a cooler wrapped in foil and old towels....... it only took 14.5 hours

at least this time i was smart enough to use a drip pan... unlike last time... the total starting weight was 39 pounds it was a tight squeeze but they fit..... although next time i think i will try to find four that weigh the same so my upper grate is more level.... i used my own rub which is not great but i was not able to procure enough DP last time i ordered....

Holy cow (pig?), Bente, what army is showing up to eat all that yummy pork?

BENTE

i like to food saver it and freeze it that way i can always feed an army if one showes up

also we have a 11 year old so he eats like an army

Jeffersonian

Tell me...I have a 14, 13 and 11 year-old that are the same way.

We're thawing some pulled pork for tonight, as it so happens. Enjoy, buddy.

Those look great Terry, you need a big drip pan for four butts. -RP

How many pounds did do you think end up with after the cook?

That was quick! Great cook, I'm putting the last pic in my BGE inspiration folder. A fine mess, indeed.

BENTE

not sure i figure about 25 or so but i will find out

BENTE

yea i have not figured it out yet but they all cook as one i guess they kind of share body heat...... but the last ones took about that long

see the no drip pan??

BENTE this must be "butt weekend". I thank half of us are doing butt sometime. We Rode down to the HD dealer in Monroe La. with my partner to get a rear tire put on his bike as they give discount since he bought 2 bikes from them and just got back a little while ago. Tired and pretty cold. That pulled pork from yesterday hit the spot. Couple sandwitches and Frito pie made out of it. I thank it is the best thing that reheats and cn be frozen there is not to mention CHEAP!! I did pulled pork 1 time w/o drip pan. Never again! What a mess! I cover my platsetter w/ foil for all cooks also. By the way: Nice butt!

BENTE

Frito pie exxcellent idea i think i will try that
