So today I cooked some pork butts for a rehearsal dinner for some really good friends of mine that are getting married tomorrow. I put the butts on at 6ish this morning and they were done around 4:30. I cooked them at 275 and smoked them with applewood chunks. I rubbed them down with dizzy pig dizzy dust course the night before. I FTC them for 2hrs before shredding them. I placed it in the yeti and it kept everything hot. They were from Costco and were about 7lbs each. Everything turned out great, and had great compliments from everyone, sorry for no shredded pics, the time cruch to deliverer was crazy! imageimage

    They look great.  Just a minor suggestion - any part of the butt that extends past the platesetter should be protected from the heat with aluminum foil.  This will prevent the butts from getting toasted by the direct heat.

    Nice job! Sounds like everyone appreciated your cooking. I typically find it difficult to get pics when serving a crowd of people.
