8 butts all with INFRARED brrings me to 86 butts with infrared ;)
« Reply #-1 on: May 10, 2013, 12:11:29 PM »
Well work was slow and I needed to cook some butts for church thought I'd take the dayy off and do all 8 at once.

Since I can only do 2 butts per unit I had to break out my charcoal version of the SRG and put it to good use along side the 2 SRG's and my pellet SRG  ;)

Tommy, pretty cool!

Do you notice any differences in results between the different methods?

If you really love "smoke" in the meat then the charcoal works best, if you just love pulled pork with a good taste of smoke but not overpowering then the SRG's do I great job.  Now if you have lots of time and truley LOVE killer pulled pork then the Pellet SRG is the way to go. 

Cooking times for grills...........

SRG's..........  4 to 5 1/2 hrs
Charcoal SRG............  6 to 8 hrs  min
Pellet SRG......... set on med (running 265 inside chamber)  takes 9 +  BUT the taste is Sooooo much better

The SRG's are factory but the charcoal and pellet grills I made from parts. CharBroil does not make a pellet pooper or a charcoal version of the SRG  :'(  So I made them  ;)

Tommy,
how many pounds of charcoal in your charcoal SRG to finish the two butts?
thanx, Jack
You know I didn't even think about checking.  I have an 11 in ring I fill up and it took all it it plus a few sticks of wood.  When I get home I'll fill the ring and see how much it holds

Nice job on the Butts Tommy!! I have a SRG in the truck just waiting to go camping for the weekend at the John Wayne waterfront resort :) I'll see if the wife wants to do a butt this weekend.

4.7 gallons of propane = 430, 270 total BTUs

I believe the SRG on high is around 18,000 BTU an hour.

That is about 24 hours of gas on one tank.

Now Tommy how much you paying for a filled tank?

Take that dollar amount and divide it by 24 to get your hourly cost.

Then times that dollar amount by the hours of the cook time for the butt.

Now you got your cost per cook.
