Butts in the Shower

[Ka Honu]

My neighbors are having a baby shower on Saturday for about 50 people and asked me to make pulled pork.  Not sure exactly why, but I said I would (probably because he bakes great bread that SWMBO likes and he begged).  Figured he needed about 12-15 pounds of product (they're serving other meats and also wanted some leftovers) and decided I needed a few pounds to replenish my supply so I went out and bought four butts totaling 39 pounds ($1.82/lb including tax).  I knew that much at once would take 6-8 weeks in the Bradley so decided to smoke outside and then move indoors to the oven and crockpots.

Sunday - injected with CT and whacked 'em with Jan's Rub. 



Back to the fridge to rest up for a couple of days and try to guess if the OBS will hold all that meat.

Today (Tuesday) - added some more rub and ran them in the OBS (it all fit - barely) for five hours of maple and (mostly) cherry (They were on the front of the bisquette shelf).



The two larger butts (about 11 pounds each) went into the 225^o oven on a rack over a drip pan for an overnight stay while the other two (8-9 pounds each) bedded down in slow cookers on LO.

That's it I give up. The Turtle lives in the middle of a flippen Ocean and even he can buy Boston Butts cheaper than I can. Hell I live right smack dab in the middle of Hog country. Looked at them yesterday $2.48 a pound. This aint right at all

Sorry, Chris.  Life is not always fair (but it's always life).

Holy crap where you buying you butts? I got mine at the local grocery store for only $1.58 just yesterday. I was actually pissed about that price, they were $1.48 the day before and I didn't pick them up then. I live just outside of Des Moines. They were $1.69 at Sam's last weekend too.

Looks like the neighborhood will be getting some good eats, and yep, the Turtle got a great price too.

Oh no, you can have them at that price. I will stick with my store.

That a lot of butt. You got a good price, but I'm still trying to figure out why you had to pay tax on fresh meat?  :)
