Sent out an e-mail to some regular customers at work to see if anyone wanted pulled pork. This is gonna be my new thing, instead of asking what they want and I end up cooking 10 different things, I'm gonna cook pork one week, brisket one week, etc. I get overwhelmed around the Holidays when turkey orders come in, so this will help. I ended up getting 36 orders totaling 46lbs of pork, couple orders were received after I bought the pork, so I hope I end up with a better than normal 50% yield or I'll be cooking more butts this weekend. :rolleyes:

Got these butts from Wegmans for $.99lb and the biggest butt was 9.34lbs and the smallest was 8.38lbs, so they were pretty good size. The biggest ones go on the bottom and the smaller ones were squeezed on the top. I've done 10 butts on 2 WSM's before, but never had 10 BIG butts.

Butts are done, vac packed and in the freezer. Sorry for the lack of pic's, I didn't get everything done until 10pm last night and cooked dinner and drank beer in the process. My daughter had friends over last night so I grilled up dogs for them and some ribeyes for me and my wife. By the time everything was done I was BEAT! I ended up with 40lbs of finished product, not counting the 2lb bag I dumped on the floor! :eek:

dude.. you really shouldn't compare yourself to me... it'll just get you down. Just do the best you can and be happy for who you are.

BTW... the pork that made it into the bag looked good.
