295 lbs of Pork went on the smoker this morning at 6:30 am (32 boston butts)

most I have ever done in one shot... the Lang is Packed!

It is gonna be a long day!

Business has been slow lately (non-existant really) and I needed money, so we took orders from friends/family...haven't done that in a while, so we ended up with over 130 lbs ordered. Maybe in a couple of days I can pay some bills.

Will post pics later...



OK... so I only took one pic... 20 butts on the bottom 12 on the top .... yielded 158 lbs of pulled pork. about 53%

what a day... 5:30 am to 7:30 pm ... the chopping/bagging process took all but 4 hours with the wifes help. Time for BEER

Re: Thought I'd do a little pork today

I was going to do three butts this weekend and thought that was a lot ... 32 Now that's a lot of PP, mine is just a snack :LOL: Good luck with it, I'm sure with the better weather business will turn, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Spring Break and graduation parties. I'll be interested to see the pictures.

That's a whole lot of butts on the smoker! How'd the Lang handle that big arse cook?

Worked great. It was PACKED! I don't think I would be putting any more on there. I ran it at 275 or so. Butts went on at 6:30 am, foiled at 1:30pm (160-170 degree range) and started coming off at 4:00 pm

4 cases was alot to do in one day. I don't know if I'll be doing that much again. you see....I am kinda alergic to work... and that was a little too much like work chopping all that at one time. But, I did learn that my buffalo chopper will handle 2 butts at one time.
