Big Cook Tonight for Office Party Tomorrow

[Smoking Piney]

I'm on the hook for an office party tomorrow for pulled pork. I have 5 butts going into the Assassin (right around 43 pounds uncooked). The party planners tell me around 60 people, so this amount should be OK.....they're doing burgers and dogs, also.

My pit is already started, and the plan is to let these butts warm up just a tad, inject / rub, and get these smoking at 8 PM at 275 with a mix of hickory and apple for smoke. I'm injecting with a 2 parts apple juice / one part apple cider vinegar mix and rubbing with Oakridge Competition rub.

I plan on checking them at 4:30 in the morning. I expect them to be done right around 5 AM. Once they're done, I'll pan / foil them and put them in the Cambro for a couple of hours before I pull them apart. I'll pull them apart and then pan / foil it, and back in the Cambro. I need them at the party by 11 AM......plenty of pad and the Cambro will get me there. :-D

The game has begun......more pRon to follow. :-D

Thanks, guys I'm feeling pretty confident.

Injected, rubbed, and ready for the pit:

Your stuff is looking good. I imagine yours will be the hit, over the burgers and dogs.:thumb:

Nice start John, looking forward to the rest.

 

[Smoking Piney]

On the pit......next peek at 0500. :-D

Those are fun. Look great John. I cooked for over a 100 two years in a row for work and while it's a lot of work especially doing it all yourself it's rewarding at the same time. Crowd grew the second year when word got around. :becky:

Thanks, Sako.

I don't normally cook for a crowd.....just my wife and myself. This is a stretch for me.

I figure it's just heat and time, and I have butts down pretty good.

I expect great results tomorrow morning. :-D

Like watching big cooks come together. Good luck, Piney!

No doubt the crowd will be happy. Other folks have to rely on vodka in the punch bowl.

I’m digging everything but the 4:30 AM CRAP...........:shock:

 

[Stingerhook]

Well?

 

[Titch]

Yes ,well?
I,m going to bed and your mates are all probably digging in

 

[Smoking Piney]

Off the pit and resting covered in the Cambro. I'm going to pull them apart in about an hour.
