58 Butt Smoke w/Qview

pineywoods · Dec 12, 2009

So a friend asked if we could use my Lang to smoke some butts for a fund raiser I asked how many and he said around 70

I said it would take more than one smoke to do that many but I'd help out some and he could run the smoker. So today he called to tell me it would be 56 butts and he'd be out around 5 pm to get a start. So we're on round one right now heres some pics so far
The butts

In the smoker it held 32 on the first round

3 1/2 hours into it

Its about 41 degrees outside and we're running the smoker around 250 using cherry splits. I'll add more later

Wow, that's some impressive pig! That's a mess-load of butts; about a week's worth of what we'd process for a pork butt/pork steak sale at one of the stores I used to supervise (8-10 a day ave). We'd sell 'em whole (with back cushions off for ground pork or sausages), halves, wholes and halves sliced and tied, pork steak, thick cut pork steak, thin cut pork steak, country bone-in and boneless style ribs, boneless whole and half roasts, boneless shaved steaks, pork stew, pork stir fry, ground pork and ground pork patties (take ground pork and form into a roll, chill firm in freezer, slice into 1" slices and crisscross indent on top with a clean block scraper, get almost double the price of reg. ground pork), pork/beef meatloaf mix - grind ground chuck into ½ of a #2 size tray, 12 to 24 of them, then grind ground pork into the other half of the tray, or if you have the product, do 1/3 ground beef, 1/3 ground pork, and 1/3 ground veal, breakfast and Italian sausages with all the trim, in single serving, regular, large and family packs all at different price points. By merchandising into every cut imaginable with higher retails, you maximize your gross profit from every pork butt, achieving an average GP% of 24 to 28% over cost, even with giving away whole butts at cost price.

Thats one heck of a smoker Jerry, and the butts look incredibly delicious. Somebodies arms are going to be really tired after pulling all that butt.
Keep up the Q-view.
