I've been asked to supply the pulled pork for our Fall Festival at the church. I need enough for 100 people going thru the line (will be poretioning out meat on the bun), I figure 3 10lb butts will do the job accounting for fat loss and shrinkage I should end up with 22 to 23 lbs of meat.
I've cooked 2 8lb butts at once, 6 hrs of smoke and at 250 usually requires 20 hrs to reach 200 internal temp then foil and towel for 3-4 hrs in cooler. I'm wondering what kind of time table I would need for 3 10lbers at same temp in the MES40 with the same procedure.
Just as ballpark I was thinking maybe 24 to 25 hrs to internal temp of 200 and maybe 4 hrs in the cooler, does this sound plausible. I know with 30 lbs in there the stall is going to be quite long, anyone help with input, thanks
