Pile O Butt!

Toga · Posted: Aug 19 2009 Post subject: Pile O Butt!

I was asked to help cook for a birthday party for my friends daughter over the weekend. To cut down on the time manning the grills I offered to make a pile of pulled pork for the party. There were 56 people total. I did not take pics of the party as it was not mine and I was busy manning the grills. We grilled Italian sausages, burgers, and a hand full of hot dogs for the kids and a few of the adults that were scared of the PP. Saturday I tossed 4 butts on the drum that were all 5-6lbs totaling about 23lbs of butts. I seasoned them up with mix of garlic, salt, onion, and pepper.

The butts were a hit as was the bottle of Roxy's crack sauce and jug of my vinegar sauce I brought.

Butts rubbed up and ready to go on the cooker

On the grate

At 165 and ready for foil

Rested and the start of the pull...........first butt fell apart as I tried to pick it up with forks to move over to the pan to pull... here is part of it. Got a decent ring

First butt pulled and in the pan foil pan

Glad to hear the crack sauce was a hit with your party.. I do hope you were able to get a sammich yourself. As a cook and infrequent cater/BBQ cook myself I do know how hard it is to be able to get a bit to eat while every one else is enjoying them selves... I tend to mop out a serving pan with a bun when its all over..

Thanks for the kind words.

Roxy I managed to get my sammy Satruday night when I was done pulling them Laughing

The hounds also got their ususal fat scraps as well Wink

davidlemi what I was reffering to as roxy's crack sauce was his mustard sauce. Here is the link [img]http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1359[/img]

looks good Toga you have me wanting to make a uds. Was 23# of (raw) pork enough to feed 56 people?

Morrick no one went away hungry. I only factored 1/2 lb raw weight per person factoring in there would be other meats, older guests, and the ages and amount of young childern. In addition to the PP I made we grilled up some burgers, a pile of hot dogs, and some italian sausages. There were lots of sides. 2 kinds of tater salad, slaw, beans, and other goodies. You really should build yourself a UDS. Once I get it to temp I can walk away, do what I want without being tied to my cooker, and come back hours later and it is still chugging along. Heck half the time I load it up, leave the house for hours, and come back to meat ready to eat! During this cook I mowed my lawn then went fishing for a few hours. It also holds temps with no need for additonal insulation in our arctic like winter here with no problem at all.
