Well, meat is resting comfortably now. Pre-cooked weight was 59.4lbs, after the cook, the final weight was 35.8lbs before shredding. Looks like about 40% reduction with cooking. Will be pulling it in about an hour.
I will post pics later on.
Went back to bed for a couple of hours and when I got up a few minutes ago, smoker temp was 230, bottom meat probe at 210f and top meat probe at 198. I think these bad boys are done!
Now...my helper isn't planning on being here for another 1.5 hours. Not sure if I should leave them on and...
11 hours in now. Woke to smoker temp at 221, bottom probe reads 187 and top probe reads 180.
Had to add some more charcoal at this point. Been a cool and breezy night. Going to add a couple more pics. 1st was around 1am, second taken a few minutea ago around 530am.
Pops...I'm with you on weight after cooking. I plan to wrap them when done and i will try to weigh them before pulling.
On a side note, I'm less than 5 hours in and meat thermometer says 171 already. Temps have been at 225-235 all evening, so I'm guessing I have the probe in a bad spot. Friend...
My nephew graduates high school tomorrow and I am in charge of the meat. We are expecting 50-75 people. I'm smoking some pork shoulders to make pulled pork. I had kind of planned on smoking 5 shoulders around 8lbs each. When I went to Sam's yesterday, they had 2-packs for $1.89/lb, or by the...
I plan on pulling the pork and putting it in a roaster. Since people will be coming and going throughout the day, I don't plan on standing there and dishing it out to them. We will have buns for them to make PP sandwiches, but I'm sure some will eat it by it's self. We are not planning on any...
I am smoking meat for my nephew's graduation party next weekend. We are expecting no more than about 50 people. It starts at 1pm and runs until 5pm. My mom is doing all the "other stuff" and I'm smoking pork butts. Initially, I told her that I thought 4, 8lb butts should be enough, but now I'm...
Same thing happened to me. I bought 240lbs last fall when they had that sale and ran out a few weeks ago. Last weekend, I bought 5 of the 2 20-lb packages for $17.87 each :-(
I will still go out and stock up on these 14lb 2packs though.
I have the Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5". I can't say enough good about it! It holds temps very well and has produced some very delish BBQ in the 8 months I have had it. Last weekend, I did a larger smoke (16 hours). I loaded up the charcoal ring and fired it up at 3am, had temps stable and meat...
I took a couple of pics as I was getting it all set up, but when dinner was ready, we were in a rush and I didn't get a chance to snap any more.
One prepped and ready for overnight in fridge...
2nd one rubbed and ready for fridge...
Chimney lit and WSM loaded and ready to go...
