Six Butts On LGBE
Options

Posts: 93
Put six 7lb butts on the egg at 7:15A. Serving at 6P. Going to cook at 300 for a while and see where we are. Might push it to 350. Planning on no foil and spritzing with apple juice every hour. Feedback welcome! We're doing pulled pork sliders for 75 at a luau themed party.
Rubbed with mustard, kosher salt, coarse pepper, granulated garlic, and paprika.
The only thing I am worried about is that the butts are touching a little top to bottom. I'm hoping they shrink enough to separate.

Looks awesome, once you pull for sliders, nobody will notice the bald spots. No worries.
You might want to rotate occasionally, the bottom butts will take the brunt of the 300-350 degree heat.BrandonQuad Cities

Ambitious cook and with your rub mix you don't have to worry about burning the bark. Hope your drip pan can handle the renderings. Good luck and enjoy the follow-on eats.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

This is an impressive cook. I'm excited to see the end product.

You should park the truck closer to the egg. Joking. Looks great. Never done that many at time. Hope you have a drip Pan in thereColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

Ran out of a full load of lump and seven wood chunks at 1:30P. Didn't know it could deplete that quickly but I guess it's working hard for all that meat on a large. Filled back up and rolling. Took me a second to figure out why the heat was dropping. I've got a couple coming off soon.
-
@tymaier - for clarification please expand your definition of a "full load of lump". In every case prior that has happened when the LBGE is only filled to the top of the fire-box. Loading to just south of the top of the ring (enough room to land your heat deflector) will about double your fuel load-thus the protracted cook times you see here.
Now, if you went to the top of the ring and ran out then, "What lump did you load?"
Great recovery BTW- Enjoy the remainder of the cook and eats.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
That's odd. How full was it loaded? I can burn 18 hrs at the fire ring level @250ish~ John - https://www.instagram.com/hoosier_egger

I only filled to the top of the firebox. To be completely honest I didn't know if it was good practice to load above! I am using royal oak. About to pull some. Still have a couple at 160 so I'm going to wrap them since we only have about three hours until dinner time.

Careful when loading new charcoal- you have to burn off the VOC's again before adding meat back on.Greensboro, NC

Damn! Did someone pull the truck forward. @Chubbs tried to warn you!!Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Got a make shift indirect setup on the gasser over there. Second gasser is broke. Was able to do three indirect. Just put the other three in an oven. Everything is running at 400 wrapped in foil twice.
I lift the lid up, the handle assembly popped off the lid once it was raised. Not sure if I did anything wrong but it felt typical raising it. That shook the egg and my grease pan spilled and then I had huge flare ups. Took all the meat off asap and foiled. Grill must have been running at 800+ degrees with 3ft flames. It was a nightmare. I'm assuming warranty doesn't cover this? Anyone know? -
Man I am really sorry that happened- sounds like a royal pain in the arse. If the bands were just too loose then unfortunately I don't think it is covered by warranty. If something in the band assembly broke then it should be covered. I would get in touch with Bruce at Big Green Egg and discuss with him. If nothing else he might be able to work with you on replacing parts at a reasonable cost.
I am sure the butts will still be great. Enjoy the food and the party and the egg will be whole again soon.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
Who assembled your egg? How long have you had it? Might have some recourse with the dealer if they assembled.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Ouch- hate that happened to you. You really have to tighten the bolts on the lid- to the point it often bends the bolts.

Just started serving and honestly it tastes great. Good feedback from everyone. I'm drenched in sweat and mentally drained now lol. Just thankful the food worked out.
