    was a great success! One of the other guys found this tool called a Roman Pork Puller? Best device and method I've ever seen to quickly shred the butts into a nice "pulled" consistency. And you're right, the feedback from those using that tool also suggested 190-200 as an optimum temp for best...

    Im totally following you except im not sure the math you shared accounts for shrinkage? In any case with the excellent feedback from one or two members so far i think the two 110 qts w two 48 qts as backup should cover the base - the blanket trick is also an excellent idea adding that extra...

    Hi from S Carolina

    Just to say hi and tell y'all a little about my cooking history. I'll cook on just  about anything you can burn coal and wood on or in, from a brinkman basic smoker to the pit and a few in between. I'm a bit of an old school BBQ type and usually prefer cooking with oak and hickory. Understanding...

    Thx that feedback helps a lot _ it looks like it will be close depends on final yield but I just keep an extra 48qt or two handy just as backup _ I'm just the pit guy the group had decided to pull and chop the meat at 7am the next morning so my goal is to load the coolers when the meat gets to...

    Bitten Off A Lot More Than I Can Chew

    Better off to just hire me to cook your BBQ - lol - the calculations posted look accurate - a good rule of thumb is 3 servings per pound of cooked BBQ. so as you were ask to provide 50#    I'm assuming your party is for 150 people? if not its never a bad idea to have too  much and have a few...
