Frozen Butt Bowl..

[squirtthecat]

Pork Butts were 1.29/lb this week. Time to get busy.

6 in the office freezer.
4 more in my upright freezer. (yeah, I know.............)
And 3 I picked up on the way home.

The usual suspects... (and numb fingers)

14 hours later... WA LAA.

The MAK butts came along a few hours later. All piled in the Nebraskan Cambro stack.

Pull, pull, pull, weigh, package, pull, pull.

Last 4 went on around 1 this morning, and finished around Noon. Lots of grease...

I need a nap!

I like big butts I can not lie!!
Awesome load of butts squirt! Your office workers gotta be thrilled you work there!

 

[squirtthecat]

Yeah, I should have clarified that! 15 pounds is for a friend's Superbowl party, and the rest..

That makes me tired just looking at all the work there. I get worn out just doing two buts.

After Monday, the menu kind of goes downhill, doesn't it?

dude, you have a serious problem. lol. thats alot of butts my friend. we need to get you a pork puller thinging.

Her Spaghetti and Patty Melts are pretty good. I'm not a quesadilla fan. Too much cheese.
I don't mind pulling them by hand. Only takes a couple minutes per butt. Then I can pick out any undesirable looking pieces/parts..

Just inventorying the freezer.. Now I have to figure out how I'm going to haul all of this to the office tomorrow. I might just put 3 big coolers in the truck and load it now. Heading into the 20s tonight..

"too much cheese"
Seriously squirt?? I didn't know there was such a thing..

 

[squirtthecat]

Load 'em up!

It's headed into the 20s tonight, so I opted to load my truck now instead of 5:30 tomorrow morning.

The players...

4 down the front left side hold 4.75 lbs each. 6 next to them hold 5 lbs each. The 3 across the back (4 lbs, 4.75 lbs and a hefty 9.5 lbs) aren't frozen, as they will go on the lunch line tomorrow.


After a bit of ciphering (and trips up/down the attic ladder), I came up with this.

6 into the Cambro.

The rest into my big rolling Igloo cooler. I jammed some towels around the buckets to keep everything in tight.

Oh, and you can't serve 67 ( ) pounds of pulled pork without a bit of..

I agree with you squirt as far as the hand pulling. I bought the bear claws and used them for 30 seconds before aborting and dawning the gloves to pull with my hands.

 

[TentHunter]

That is a load of butts - And they all look as good as usual!

 

[FLBentRider]

Using bear paws is by hand, compared to a ro-man or similar.

I use the paws to break it up, then the fine work by hand.

 

[Patrick_CT]

Do you go 225 for the whole cook? Then pull at 200?

 

[squirtthecat]

More like 240°.. Yes, I pull them near the 200° mark.

 

[Patrick_CT]

Do you put them on frozen always? if so why?

 

[squirtthecat]

Usually out of convenience... I don't have room in the fridge for a load that size.

If I pick them up from the store on a Friday, I'll put them on thawed. (I live 30 miles from the store these come from)

 

[Tatonka3A2]

Holy cow!! You have some lucky co-workers.

I would have never thought that you could but them on the smoker frozen. That is good to know!!
