[hal4uk]

I'm ready for basketball.
Awrighten.

TURN UP the HEAT!

Heavy FTC and pull them Fat Butts in the morning.

[SouthernSmoked]

Cam Newton drove Auburn into position for Wes Byrum's 24-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the eighth-ranked Tigers past Kentucky 37-34 on Saturday.

Don't throw them Butts away!

They are going to be awesome.

Had one butt that took 30 hrs.

I'm not going to throw them away. I did crank up the heat back around 6pm up to 235f but I'll go back out and crank it to 250f.

I'm ready for basketball.
Awrighten.

UK B-Ball... Heck Yeah I'm ready!!

[SouthernSmoked]

Well after 30 hours the first butt reached 195 and was FTC and put to sleep.

The other stubborn butt was ready shorty after that around 31+ hours.

I'm going to start with the last first since it went into the cooler last and was on top.


This is the smallest of the two and was resting on the second rack from top. Went in weighing 9.27ilbs and here it weighs 6.18




That's a lot of pork!








I'll be back with the second butt...

To Be Continued....

30 & 31 hours!  That may be a record!  I had two go 26 hours once but 31?  WOW!

SS- How did the sales go at the game?

[SouthernSmoked]

Second Half...


This is the largest of the two and was resting on the third rack from top. Went in weighing 11.39lbs and here it weighs 7.79lbs




Here's the second butt pulled...




Here's both pulled and ready to serve.

SS- How did the sales go at the game?

I don't have a complete total thus far but she did say that they sold all but about 3 pounds of pork - so she gave it away.

I need to do more of the pulled chicken the next time. Gone!

She ran out of Dog's and Brats.

I'll update you later on the rest and the total of sales. She is on her way here to visit.

Went in weighing 11.39lbs and here it weighs 7.79lbs

That's a good yield! (68%)

Yes, it is...   Maybe that's why it took forever and a day to cook?  Not as much fat to break down on the insides?

[SouthernSmoked]

After pulling and tossing the fat and bones I vac sealed 11.63 pounds.

Started with 20.67 and finished with 11.63 pounds.

[SouthernSmoked]

My daughter said that they did a little over 100 pulled pork sammie's,

Sold out on the pulled chicken (I only did around 5 pounds)

Chicken legs & thighs (I did 3 dozen legs) she said that they sold about a dozen and she was giving them away at the end.

Smoked Bologna - Sold none!

Smokin' Dogs (I did 3dz) Gone

Smokin' Brats (I did 3dz) Gone

Soda's / Pops (I purchased 10 cases - 240 cans) She said they still have a case or two.

I took 4 cases of Potato Chips - 50/1 oz. bags

She said that they did a little of 1,150.00 in sales (that was a pretty awesome evening)

My receipt from Sam's showed 497.61 w/taxes ---- plus I wasn't able to get this stubborn butts down to her.

I did purchase misc items to serve the food with...

What did I learn with this Smoke...

Next time I'll only do Pulled Pork, Dogs and Brats. I'll forget the chicken all together, she said that people stood in line to long waiting for someone to decide.

What do you think about changing the menu??

[classicrockgriller]

Smoked BOUDAIN! ;D

Something you might want to consider that would be fairly easy

is them Turkey Boulders that STC does.

She would grab them people that would pass her up because they

like to eat healty.

[squirtthecat]

It might be hit or miss, but you could try smoked turkey legs..   Those are a big hit with the 'fair' crowd.
