Banker John,[p]I also have what you are trying - won't work. I simply use the disposable aluminum drip pans with the vrack in the drip pan. Works like a charm on everyhing. The one trick I learned was to put a piece of aluminum foil over the drip pa…
Washog,[p]I did 4 6.5lb butts in the medium over thanksgiving - 26lbs. Took about 24 hours. I usually cook butts at 250 for 20 hours, but I did these at 275. I had 3 of them stacked 'vertically' in a v-rack and the 4th laying on top. Worked great. T…
Wardster,[p]Keep on cooking. Once it is done (200+) then you can pull it and put it in fridge. It will reheat very well. When reheating mine I put some in a freezer ziplock. Make sure the ziplock is open and put in microsowave at 40% power for a cou…
Wise One,[p]I too did a cook like this for my sunday school class while camping a couple of months agao. I put 20lbs on my medium and another egger put 15lbs on his small. Man - did the campground at Stone Mountain smell good that Friday and Saturda…
Wardster,[p]I cooked two 7-pound butts for super bowl party this year. That was the only time I have done 2 at once. There were 12 people there and some had 3 sammiches. We still had some left over. As a general rule I use the .5 pound per sammich r…
Basselope,[p]Amen brother!!! When I cooked my first Butt I could not believe how good it is. Now I am spoiled. I still like pork sammiches in bbq joints, but I like my stuff better. Maybe its the fact that I cooked my own or something. I don't know,…
Jody M,[p]I have a Medium and it suffices 95% of the time. I love it. I have had the medium for 4 months now and I have cooked most of the staples - chicken, turkey, boston butts, steaks, fish, wings, loins, hamburgers, shrimp, etc. Just this past w…
djm5x9,[p]I agree. This method works every time as long as you can stablize the temp. I know others make comments about the lump thing, but in my medium I find that if I use the sorting method to some extent then my fire stays consistent throughout …
WMK,[p]Thank You!!! I have gotten to the point where I don't even read some people's posts because I know that there is nothing but some whining in them. There are a few people here who are always just trying to start something.[p]DD
ravnhaus,[p]Ah yes... I did the same thing on Saturday. I also see the Asparagus on the plate. That is my favorite steak-side vegetable.[p]Great pics.[p]DD
Cat,[p]I'll take the beer advice. I didn't fork test in several places. Just one. The stall must have been the issue. Shouldn't have forced it.[p]Thanks for your comments!
Cat,
I took the internal temp to 195. I also did the fork test and it twisted fine. But, there was a section in each butt that was "stuck together" and hard to pull. Almost like grissle (sp?).[p]So - from what you are saying I should have just held…
