Pork Butt Dilema !!

[dbrown1]

So I am in Costco today and was asking about the pork butts, bone in and they had some issue and can't sell them individually ... so for 65 dollars I can buy a whole case of them and they are sitting on two pallets worth.... I have no idea how much 65 lbs. of pork butt is but at .99 a lb I think I am going to have to take advantage of that.
My question is does anyone know how many pork butts come in a case ? need to make sure I have room.

First JUMP ON THAT DEAL!!!!!
Second usually when I buy them by the case i get 4 or 5 double packs in a case or 8-10 butts. If your even remotely thinking about making sausage buy a couple cases. That's a good deal. Might even be able to sweeten the deal since they are stuck with them tell them you'll buy 3 cases at $50 a case. They might just bite on it.

Offer then 79 a lb and if they say yes back up your truck and get them

Boy, that's a lot of pork.  Are you sure they're butts or possibly shoulders (fresh picnic hams).  Yes, there's a difference. And as you said, where are you going to put them all?  Is it pretty cold outside up there?  How are the wolves doing?

Maybe you could open up a store where the hot sauce store place closed down.  ;D

Personally, I couldn't handle that poundage.  I cut up pork loin today and put it in the freezer section of the fridge.  I found the wife had 16 pounds of chicken wings in there so I had to rearrange some.  We're gonna have to have a talk.  :o

As 10.5 and CRG said, if you can handle it, make 'em an offer they can't refuse.

Well the wolves are doing well... I shot some from my helicopter just yesterday
As for the freezer space I have a 3 x 3 x 4 outside only a 1/4 of capacity now that my reds are smoked !

I will be going there tomorrow to barter

Do your best to get a good price, especially if they really want to move them out.  I don't know how much flexibility the store manager has at a Costco but it's certainly worth a shot.

Ok, hmmm 6 x 3.16 ~ 3 x2 minus # (u@8)

the avg Pork butt is about 6 to 7 lbs

so if there is 65 lbs That is only say 10

If it helps the bradley will finish 4 eight pounders in a comfortable weekend smoke process of slather and rub, sit over night, smoke, cook, and FTC.  Once I get them pulled and vac packed it is pretty amazing how much will fit in a freezer when they are nice stackable packs.

Take it all  ;)

Freeze some and smoke the rest. I think up there, that is a good price.
