here's some pics of a bunch of butts.
for a luau, my work buddy wanted to cook up port butts in lieu
of ground pork (pig in the ground).
his pit holds only a couple butts at a time, so he asked how many
the bandera would do.
here's the pics.
4 butts (~32 lbs) in the smoke king
12 butts (~100 lbs) in the bandera

radar, fix a problem at test floor at work, download microsoft
virus-hole patch to a usb drive - and monitor the q)

Hey - that was the rotguttiest beer I could find.
The temps varied with that much meat. We had to rotate every few hours (up and down, front and back, side to side) to keep even heating. After about 5 or 6 hours we foiled the butts.
It took a lot of fuel.
One thing with that many butts is that an awful lot of grease drips off. Luckily we were foiled when all that grease caught fire. Man that was hilarious. It looked like Mt. St. Helens coming out of the flue!
I need a grease mod.....I'm thinking wireless remote control on the valve. :-)
