8 butts, 2 eggs, 2 different setups. Pulled Pork for 200...
The Cen-Tex Smoker
Posts: 23,184
Doing a wedding 200-250 this weekend....only TFJ and I. Crazy town. We are doing pulled pork on kings Hawaiian sliders, venison carnitas street tacos a la Centex (half smoked half brined venison shoulders on corn tortillas with picked onion and cojita cheese), brined smoked duck canapé with Brie and fig jam, and chicken and waffles. I'm doing all the egg stuff and then just doing what I'm told by the brains of this operation. I'll take lots of pics and document all the foible that is bound to follow this little adventure.
Here are both eggs chugging along with 40 lbs of shoulder in each. One with adjustable rig with the oval stone laid directly across the fire ring and one on a grid extender from the group buy last year. Both are rock solid and cool in their own way. Glad I have both
.
Duck and venison chuckies tomorrow.

I am an idiot but at least TFJ is there to get me pointed in the right direction. Did I mention my kitchen is torn to the studs at the moment? Timing has never been my strong suit. TFJ has been

We will be pulling out all the tricks- Cambro, sous vide, FTC and whatever else we can Maguyver on the spot. It's going to be insane but Janell is an Uber Planner and has done this dozens of times so I'm good as

Very nice. I never thought to put the stone directly on the fire ring. How's that working especially with drippings? I'm guessing that you have two shoulders on the bottom and two atop?Dunedin, FL

I just made that part up but it worked like a champ. Eggs both locked in at 225 all night. No controllers, no maverick, nada.yzzi said:Very nice.

I did put 2 butts on the lower grid and 2 on the upper in each setup. Had to move them around a little this morning to firm up the bark on one of the butts that was touching the dome. Other than that, 80 lbs of pig and a good noght's sleep with no issues at all.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -

A few more quick notes in the cook:
The Adjustable Rig kicked the crap out of the grid extender. All the butts were perfect and had perfect bark all the way around. The grid extender sagged under the weight of the butts and sort of rested on the butts below. The bark wasn't fully formed on parts of all 4 butts on the extender. I have moved them around to firm it up and I'm sure they will be fine but I lost some bark and some meat getting them situated. The AR is definitely the way to go on a cook like this.
I found Lazzerri lump at RD for .32 per lb. I think I got ripped off). It was basically a 40lb bag of half carbonized 3 foot logs with about 3 lbs of shake in the bottom of it. It actually performed really well once I got it going but I won't be running back to this lump any time soon. Pretty rough stuff.
