I have a large party next weekend and I need to start getting ready. Planning on cooking boston butts but I need a general idea of how much I can cook at one time. I have a large egg, thanks in advance.

Four butts is easy with some sort of grid extender. Here's a photo:[p]TNW

Do you rotate the butts during the cook or keep them the same? Are those about 4lbs each?

Mark,[p]Squeezing, pushing and cajoling, I've gotten 36 pounds (5 pieces) of shoulder onto a large. After an hour, they'd shrunk enough that I could turn and reposition them.[p]Ken

Mark,
Those were 8 pound butts when I started. I didn't move them a bit. Low and slow with a thermometer in one of them and I pulled them when the thermometer said done. They came out just great.[p]TNW
