Title: Backwoods Butts
Post by: squirtthecat on September 06, 2013, 09:12:38 AM

Hal did a test cook in the BWS Competitor yesterday.   71lbs of butts went in at 8:30.   1" of water in the water pan, and a big azzed fire going underneath.     He ran it at/around 275° all day.

At 3PM.

At 3:40, the butts on top rack were reading 200°.

I got there after work about 4:30, and the butts on the bottom rack were reading 200° as well.

Commencing pulling/chopping (no pics, we have to do that quickly for packaging), and we ended up with 34 1 lb containers packed full of tasty pork.

Turbo butt cooker!

Great looking bark on those butts Squirt!

Looks like there is nice even cooking in that smoker.

Lotta meat and an excellent job guys. 

For all - Note the yield (about 48%).  Granted that's bone-in but it makes the point we keep coming back to on how much to prepare for a group.  Depending on the butt itself (and how it's trimmed), one pound raw per person can end up as half a pound of product - a couple of sammies and maybe some leftovers.
