after trimming and cooking, yield was 14 lbs.

I wouldn't have believed that you could fit that much on a large if i hadn't seen it. Nice job. :thumb:

Looks great but seems like a low yield. We typically get 60%+ for pork at the restaurant. Brisket tends to be in the 50% range.

Nice work and thanks for sharing!

thanks ryan!

i thought the yield was low as well. i had to add lump to the egg once, and despite the trimming, i still had a large drip pan from the cgs overflowing with grease. also, as i'm pulling, i remove all the fat that hasn't reduced down, so that could have something to do with it maybe? i should save and weigh the fat i cut off those larger ones next time to see how much was there.
 
thinking back, i wrote down the number of ounces (with the decimal place), but i only added whole ounces and dropped the decimal amounts. i'll have to see what difference that is.
 
Mighty tasty looking :hungry: Do you have a Food Saver vacc sealer? We bought one just for large cooks, so as we could bag and freeze the extra food for later (plus you can drop a sealed bag into hot water to re-heat) meals.
