Large PP cook for wedding

[BKING!]

So I had a big wedding cook on the 28th/29th. I did 8 boneless pork butts with sweet money rub. I did them naked on the Mak 1 star at 225 deg with hickory and pecan pellets. A smaller one got done at 9 hours and the others took 12-14 hours. As I pulled them off I put them into the oven covered to hold at 175 deg to keep them fresh and moist and to also allow them to continue to tenderize.

I served them in a stainless serving tray with sterno at the reception and refilled as needed. The tray holds two pans. A deep pan in the bottom holds water and the shallow pan on top holds the meat (about 3 butts worth). The sterno heats the water in the bottom pan and keeps the meat moist as it steams away. My MIL found the set up for like $10 at a thrift store lol.

Lots of great compliments on the PP!

That looks fantastic BK, were you able to fit that all in the Mak at once

That pit is bigger than it looks in your pic. Now I see why you chose it

WOW! Looks like someone was busy these past couple of days. Good looking PP too.

It has a little more cooking area than a 22 wsm for comparison

Now that’s what I call a pulled pork assembly line! Good job.
