It's been an extremely busy past few weeks. One of the things we did last weekend was cook Pulled Pork for the High School Band Banquet & Awards Ceremony (250 - 300 people). Each family was to bring a side dish and I was tasked with providing the pulled pork.
I went something like this...
First, for large crowds, a good estimate for how much pork to buy & cook is:
No. People / 4 = lbs of pork. So I ran out and bought 10 butts and 1 picnic totaling about 73 lbs.
Next, 3 lbs of homemade rub mixed up and ready to go.
A big tub makes rubbing the butts a little easier.
Note: If you ever wondered how much food a MAK 1 Star will hold compared to some other grills, let me tell you: The tall straight side walls and the second rack will allow you to cook 8 med - large butts (or four whole shoulders). That's enough for 200+ people!
The Weber/Stoven picked up the overflow.
Looking good, so far. Time to foil.
Done and pulled! We ended up with four large foil pans like this:
It was a little bit of work, but fun cooking for a large crowd. We actually had about 225 folks show up, so there were lots of leftovers.
Thanks for looking!
