Big Pork Cook for Charity (pic HEAVY)

For the second year in a row I was asked to provide dinner for 130+ people to raise money for a Greek Men's Organization (AHEPA) college scholarship program that I serve as co-chairman. At last year's fundraiser we raised over $12K to help fund 45 college scholarships in the amount of $48k. Last year Doug Vozza (Sparky, duh :laugh: ) cooked all of the butts by his lonesome so this year we decided to do this together. While the pictures below show the events at Doug's, I cooked an additional 4 butts on my Large to complete the cook in one weekend. Thanks to Doug for his time, talents, and treasures to make this happen. The fundraising event will be held on November 10th and I will provide an update afterward.
Anyway, on to the food porn:

I haven't weighed the bags yet of finished product but the pre-cook weight for all was over 70lbs :laugh: I cooked extra to be sure we had PLENTY- plus some guys take some home after the event.

Great Job Eggindawg and Sparky.

Well now, I think this will be the first double header of the BTCMD Award. 70lbs of butts? Dear Lord mens! I am sure those folks ate VERY well. It is my pleasure to award both Ted (EgginDawg) and Doug (Sparky)(His second award) the, much sought after, BTCMD Award. Your cook will proudly live on in the Hall of Flame. (
