Three Big Butts on the Akorn!
« Reply #-1 on: July 13, 2014, 11:56:28 AM »
I prefer smaller butts , about 6-8 lbs, Butt all I could find were 9-10 lbs ???
Wife sprung a cook for 50 on me  :'(
Got 29 lbs of butt, mustard, with almost my last of Tim's BBQ rub :(
4 small butts fit fine on Akorn but these were tight, went with 2 on bottom & 1 on top.

My son-in-law has the same issue - and same solution - with his Vision.  Fortunately, my daughter hasn't sprung the "Guess who's coming over for dinner tomorrow" yet ! ! !

After 7 hours on the Akorn & 3 hours foiled @ 225F the butts are done!
Let cool for 1 hr & then deboned & bagged .
The drippings were saved for reheating & bags dropped into chest freezer for an hour to rapidly cool off.
The pork will be reheated & served Tuesday nite for my wife's choir party @ someone else's home ;D



2 big (2 & 1/2 gal) bags
