Hi everyone this is Spud27. A picture is worth a thousand words. But, let me tell you a little about these lovely butts. BearCarver is correct. This was for a family reunion for 80 people, that was what I counted at the picnic. I was a little nervous doing these because this was only the second time i did pulled pork. But, with the help from all of you, these turned out GREAT and everyone loved the pulled pork.
The picnic was on Saturday so instead of stressing out on Friday night I decided to do these the Sunday before. I put the rub on Saturday morning and let them set in the fridge until Saturday morning. I was up at 3, actually never went to bed, on Sunday morning. I had the butts in the smoker at 4:00 am and took the last one off at 6:30pm Sunday night. My brother came over and we pulled them and put them in vacum seal bag and in the freezer. In freezer until Friday. Took them out and let them thaw out. On Saturday morning I put the bags in cold water and waited for the water get to a boil, took them out at this time. Open up the bag and WOW it was like when I first pulled them out of the smoker.
I figure I did about 38pound of raw meat, which I got about 22 pounds of cooked meat.
Everyone at the picnic just loved the pulled pork. I took a big bowl to work on Tuesday and everyone there just loved it.
Once again thanks to everyone on this forum for your help.
I did us a rub which I found from these forums.
