Wow, it took me a week to get rested up after the 50th Wedding Anniversary I did for friends last weekend. We cooked for a plan of 400 people. What a work out on the old body.
Worked all day Friday, then at 8PM Friday night I fired up the cooker to let it get a good bed of coals. While it was heating up we prepped the butts and were ready to put them on the smoker at 9:30 PM. We were to feed at 2PM on Saturday.
32 Butts rubbed and ready.
This shot is about 6 1/2 hrs. into the smoke
9:30 AM, about 12 Hrs. in
The smoker doin it's thing at 9:30 AM
Started taking the smaller butts off at 11:30 AM wrapping them and putting in the cooler.
Pulled the last ones at 1 PM. Just in time to get a shower and get to the reception hall.
Pulled 6 of the butts and set out for serving. Pulled the rest as they needed more.
Here is the spread just before serving. Glad I only had to worry about cooking the meat.
This is the closest thing to a money shot that I got. By this time I had been awake over
36 Hours and wasn't alert enough to think about better pictures.
This is just part of the crowd, everyone left happy.
