10 of 'em, to be exact.

Broke out the calculator - 89 pounds!


Flashing back - cue the butt hauler. (2 different grocery stores, then a quick bop into Sam's for the remainder)

No worries about refrigeration today, 32° on the drive home. Warming the pits..

(don't worry about them touching - they will shrink by almost 1/2)


Remaining 3 bigguns (10+ pounds) are on the Traeger.

Gave them a couple hours - nekkid - of smoke, and just went out and rubbed them up with CYM and some Salt Lick Clone. Bumped the pit temps to 200°.

I'll go out again at 8, wire them up with my Trio of Mavericks, and crank to 250° for the overnight ride. I'll try to get a couple more pics.

Stay tuned if you like...

Everyone is tucked in and wired up for the night..

70% of this is for Christmas gifts. Mailman, paper guy, trash guys, cleaning lady, the-lady-that-cuts-my-hair (I refuse to call her a 'stylist' or 'hairdresser'), gifts for some friends, bribes, etc. The rest is going to the office cafeteria - our 'lunch lady' will sell pork pulled sammies for a day or 2 from her batch. (and I'll eat for free for a good week or so)

6:45AM... Thermapen before coffee. (not a good thing, as I ended up dropping my thermapen)


2 Traeger butts are ready to come off.

Quick peak at the MAK Mountain of Butt .

No need for the Ro-man today... Cook to IT of 200, put in half sheet pan w/ 1/4 cup of water and cover with foil. (then towel then cooler) for a couple hours.

Just smashes to bits w/ my hazmat gloves.

I dispatched the other 2 and filled 3 five pound buckets. (plus a little in a separate bucket)


Back outside, everyone came to temp at the same time.

SUDDENLY, BUTTS!

Cue frenzy of foiling and cooler stuffing.


They are piled in the kitchen to sit for 90 minutes or so, then time to pull. Our office Christmas party is tonight, so I have to hustle..

And we're done! (at least for today, I'll start vacsealing tomorrow)

Pulled and chilling.. 20 pounds in the freezer, 7 pounds in the fridge, the rest in a cooler out on the deck. (it's 32° out and heading into the upper 20s tonight)

51 pounds.. And a pint container of pan drippings for the cafeteria lady.

Now, I need a shower. And a nap.
