All went well- I did loose 2 pork butts due to temp while resting in the cooler. I didn't want to take any chances with them. The 2, I decided not to eat were at the opposite ends of a pre heated cooler.
I took the butts out of the cooler after 14 hours, and the 2 were around 128* to...
Round One underway... Started at 4:00 am this morning. 8 cooking / and 11 more to go !! tomorrow
First Pic I was letting the rub sweat in a bit and then on the pre-heated Traeger's
Yes there is air space between the butts, no meat is touching. 225* till 160* / Pull and pan wrap with some chicken...
How long can I kee the whole butt in the cooler - Sorry so many questions but trying to get this all together in my game plan. Picking up the meat on Friday Wedding is next Saturday the 15th
I do have time to cook in the smoker to not heat up the house with the oven going - but it's a great option if life get in the way of plans did you cook fat side up or down?

Yes just like my brisket I do probe tender but watch my IT's when its getting close to temp.
The Trager meater probs are not very accurate- I have had 3 of them and they are all over the place- My Traeger plug in probe is pretty spot on.
That finishing sauce you sent is the one I downloaded and...
Haven't got that far on serving- I was just put in charge of the cooking.
I do plan on wrapping after the cook and put in foil pans in a cooler and after the render 2 hours? I was going to just pull into chunks and vacuum seal them and freeze em' Once thawed they will go in the roasting pans...
What is STPP? I was thinking about injecting, but never needed to really..
I need to re-think this.....
Looking at 20 butts to feed around 180 people @ 1/2 lb each from what I have been hearing
I know 200 people was invited but who knows the no-shows but more is better to not run out.
I can get 3 in one Traeger and 6 in the other Traeger I know that some will finish before the others.
Might take @zwiller suggestion and cook here before to long, (I get a 20% senior day discount at our local Albertson's on August 6th) cook and break into chunks vac-and freeze- This way I won't...
