Got a good little gig this weekend to make about 60 lbs of my pulled pork. Gonna get to see what this smoker dies when its filled up. Suggestions? Comments? Things to watch out for? Never cooked this much at once.

What's your plan?
1. What temp you cooking them at?
2. You foiling @ 165 or are you cooking them through nakid?
3. You going to mope or spritz them with something - apple juice?
Inquiring minds want to know :biggrin:

It will probably extend your cook time some. I would guess maybe an hour.
You will use a little more fuel but I wouldn't think a whole lot once you get up to temp.

You know when it comes to shooting a rifle there are a lot of things that come into play. Bottom line, you focus on the the front sight tip. Trust yourself, and cook the meat! I'm sure it's going to be awesome!!

Best advice I've gotten all day! It's been 4 1/2 hrs. Surface probe says 200-205. But meat has risen to 147. I'm thinking it's around 250 overall in there. Con- there is water pans catching grease but there's so much meat that some of the grease is smoking from touching the surface on the bottom so it's taking away from the wood. And 60lbs hitting 160 in 5 hrs at 205 is crazy so I know my surface probes are lying. However im a firm believer that it will be good as long as the meat isnt dry or touch or flavorless. So far 96 lbs have been bought from me. It will be a long night but this seems to be working just fine. Just quicker than I imagined.
On my offset if I am cooking a lot of butts I smoke them @ 300 and it takes about 6 hours to do an 8lb butt to 205.
I'm thinking your cooking 250-275...also you might need to rotate your butts.
The back 3 for wrapped at 160. 5 1/2 hrs in. The front 3 were in the 130's so we're going in rounds here. No biggie. I beat the 4 hr mark for raw to spoiled so I'm.good to.go. Now.its on to the finish line for round one. Then6 more are getting put on. This smoker is full and doing the best it can. I'm redlining it tonight. Shout out to old country bbq! Gonna b smoking meats till 3:00pm tomorrow. 140lbs total. Owwww!!!!

Dang man, hope you got enough beer and a good chair! I second the rotating suggestion. You're going to get more heat on the back side. Unless, that's what you're going for. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

24 hrs awake. Feeling the tired. Gotta get these last 4 done by 10:30. We're around 110 right now. Should he doable. The first six tasted great. The last leg is a hard one. Sun coming up soon.

96lbs raw: yielding 48. Been awake 28 hrs straight. It's been real, it's been fun, it's been.......tough. Gnight and Thanx for all the support.
Luckily the order dropped so I didn't have to go 3 rounds. Finished it all off in two. Thank goodness don't think I could've done 12'more hours.

How'd it all come out? hopefully you've been able to recover and get some rest!!
Honestly I'm still exhausted. I couldn't sleep until I knew all the meat had been delivered. My wife had to do it. I was too far gone from exhaustion. I even puked from all the stress and too much coffee. But....!.....I came through at the last minute finishing up all the meat 1 hr before delivery so it had some time rest before shredding, weighing and cupping up.
On a backyard smoker all in one night im very proud to have pulled it off and got so many good reviews from the customers I'm just overwhelmed. Already looking into trailer smokers. This is my passion, the public loves it, I should pursue it.
