Nine butts a smokin'..

[squirtthecat]

Helping out a coworker.  He was supposed to smoke a bunch of pulled pork for his wife's office party, but had to leave town for the weekend unexpectedly.   I said I could throw 4 or 5 on the Traeger to help out.

His wife shows up in our driveway with NINE pork butts.  And an ice cold case of beer.

I can see why she bought so many...  Some of them are puny little things.





I'm going to try saving the drippings from those 3 on the MAK to make a sauce with. (defat, mix back in while pulling)

Running at 250°+, so they should be done around 7 tonight.  Maybe.

Late update...  Been busy helping the Mrs plant a thousand pounds of geraniums.   

Quick peek at Noon.






The lone sentry is recharging in the sun.    (cats are solar powered if you didn't know)




4PM




4:50, these 3 are ready to come off.




I finally found a pan that will fit in the bottom of the Cambro.  Sort of.




1-2-3 little pigs.




MAK butts are looking stellar, but at 160°, they need to go in the Traeger for some turbo time.




It's a pig party now!




More to come later.  Perhaps much later.

I was thinking the same thing Squirt.     Those really look good they really do.

 Now not sure if a case of beer is the correct price or not, I'm thinking 2 to 3 cases
