Two Butts For Fleet

[RiversideSm0ker]

So here we go with my first cook for a large group. These are the two pork butts. They have been injected and rubbed. I just put them on the smoke. I’m not going to wrap today. I will try to run them hot like my last butt. I already cooked up about 15 pounds of legs and thighs on Friday. I’m going to throw on three racks of baby backs in a few hours as well. My fridge is going to be overflowing until tomorrow morning. It’s going to be another hot one today. Wish me luck.

I’ll try to get some pictures tomorrow at the feast. These are good guys and they have been my customer for about 8 years now. I was happy to be able to do something for them. I’m anxious to try that chicken I cooked for them. I tried three new rubs on those pieces. No sauce. Should be good.

Sounds like you’re treating those customers right! I’m seriously considering a second fridge for all the smoking projects I’ve got going. Keep cool and good luck!

I just put the probe in and we are at 147. I’ll use this one as a guide for the other piece. It’s going great so far. Some nice bark is forming and I did refill my water pan. Gonna get the ribs prepped.

One rack has been nearly decimated. They were so FOTB I wasn’t really able to cut them. I’ll try slicing the other in a bit after they cool down a little more.

My Lord, I was starting to wonder if these were ever going to finish. I just pulled them off the heat. One was at 200 and the other was 197. They are butter tender now. I’ll let them rest for an hour or so then pull them for tomorrow. I certainly hope these guys appreciate the time this all took to prepare. All in all it was pretty fun to do this cook.

Just a few quick shots from the feast. It’s kind of funny several of the staff were out today. I guess they will have to have some leftovers tomorrow. It was fun and I would do it again just not next week.
