Not this time. Have 80 lb +/- Bone in Pork butt being smoked for a family reunion in a couple of weeks. Hope for 45 Lb of finished pulled pork for a group of 125

Nice! I won't completely derail the weather thread into a smoked meat discussion, but that sounds deeeelicious!

Only if I can come over once it's ready... ;)

But yeah, I'd be surprised if you have anything to worry about weather-wise during that time frame.

For this amount, I have the larger electric master built (for heat) with an external smoke generator. It has five shelves in it, and I can get 10 bone-in butts in it with ease, if needed, and have a couple of smaller ones, I can fit in a couple more.

I will try and snap a couple of photos of the process and share them this time.


FYI I have security cameras that cover this area so no overnight sampling between my checks!!!! :mrgreen:

16 Hr in the smoker and 45 Lb 7 Oz of finished pulled pork vac sealed and in the freezer for a few weeks down the road. I got about a 55% yield, and that is about right. Smoked to an internal temp of 195 Deg. I used Hickory wood and seasoned it in advance with Hickman Fat Boys Sweet Rub. Formerly JB Fatboys. Local company.
