    Trial run of Pork Butt to do for a crowd in 3 months with pics

    6:30 am probes at 196 & 180! 7 hours. Checked the temp chart and there was no stall throughout the night. I dont know why I did it, but I bumped the smoker temp down to 225 at that point and went back to bed. Now at 8:45 am raised the heat back to 275. Probes at 198 & 185. Will see how much more...

    Trial run of Pork Butt to do for a crowd in 3 months with pics

    Really?! That would be great actually, hoping that I can find a good rhythm to do maybe 5-6 butts a couple weeks before the party. I have 4 in the freezer still and will add a couple before July.

    Trial run of Pork Butt to do for a crowd in 3 months with pics

    Thanks to those of you who commented on my question about Pork butts for a crowd. I'm doing a trial run tonight/tomorrow to see how to best do Pork butts ahead of time for over 100 people. For this smoke I'm doing a 10# butt on my MES40. Planning on higher heat (thanks for the suggestions)...

    Drums & Thighs (Ninja Made)

    We did wings in the Ninja 2 basket last night, though I neglected to get pics. Will for sure next time. Yeah, they tout filling the baskets all the way up. Says 4 lbs of wings - PER BASKET! Says it takes 65 minutes. No thanks. I split it to about 1.5 lbs (maybe 15 pieces) per basket and it...

    Nice 2 hours with 83 year-old man

    HUGE Sinatra fan here. Born in 1972, so I too only had older folks to talk to about him. Relatives used to say I was an "old soul". Still bummed I missed the chance to see him in Detroit when I was about 17 or 18 maybe? No one wanted to go with me and I didn't want to go alone. Kicking myself...

    Shredding Pork in a Kitchen Aid?

    I didn't think about the chunks of fat. I can't stand those either, so that may totally deter me from the KA, thanks. Are those gloves reusable, or just the throw away type, but have some heat protection? I see lots of cooks using the black thin gloves, are those the ones, or the big giant...

    Shredding Pork in a Kitchen Aid?

    Has anyone else done this? Can you do this and still have some chunks? I don't like it when the pork is shredded too fine...

    Eye of the round roast, personalized smoker stand, and sports teams

    Love smoking eye of round, done it a few times now and never disappointed. Great job! By the way, on a little crusty bread with some horseradish mayo, some arugula, maybe a nice thick slice of homegrown tomato... oh man. If ya like that kinda stuff! Now I'm starving.

    Drums & Thighs (Ninja Made)

    We've had an air fryer for a few years and did some OK wings in the past in it. The wife decided to buy the new Ninja 2 basket air fryer and it's coming next week. I'm definitely going to try this Bear, thanks!

    Need advice please - Pulled pork for many people

    Thinking again that this may be our best option for this party. But I think I may do only about half the amount of pulled pork, and then also incorporate other mains, such as tacos, etc. Does anyone have pictures of your serving line (where guests get their food)? I'm wondering what the best...

    Need advice please - Pulled pork for many people

    No more than 2 at a time? Ugh, that's not going to help things. Good to know they can be smoked and pulled that far in advance though. Thanks.

    Need advice please - Pulled pork for many people

    Wow, great information, thanks!! I think I'd be more apt to try this if we were having half the amount of people. I'm thinking I MAY be able to get 6 butts max in the MES40, so would need 3 straight days of smoking to be able to account for 150 people. I don't see that happening...

    Need advice please - Pulled pork for many people

    Sorry, meant to include that. MES40 electric, so pain in the butt (pun intended) loading chips every 30-45 minutes, unless I use the AMNPS.

    Need advice please - Pulled pork for many people

    I'm considering doing pulled pork for my son's graduation party in July. We're not positive how many people we'll be having, but estimating between 100-150. I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you may be able to answer... 1. About how many butts should I plan on for this amount of...

    Preferred smoker

    I've only used MES smokers. Have MES40 now and like it. Although I wish I had a setup that allowed for higher heat than 275. And a little char broil type cooking. But It suits me fine for now.
