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.
The game has begun......more pictures to follow.
Next peek is at 0430.

Re: Office Party Pork Butts - Pulled Pork
This cook turned out well. I took 3 butts off the pit at 5 AM after 9 hours cooking. The last 2 needed a little extra time to get to "probe like buttah".
I panned / foiled them and put them in the Cambro for a couple of hours to rest. I pulled them apart right before I left for the party. They yielded 2 full sized serving pans of pulled pork and it was a hit at the party.

Up in Joisie they probably would say "Dinnah is Served" but down here some fixins like that just call for "Y'all come Eat, ya hear?"

LOL!
I live in the woods in South Jersey with Jersey rednecks.....we call them "Pineys" here................no "Joisey" accent with these folks (that's north Jersey, TV BS. Nobody in Jersey says "Joisie' unless they're not from around these parts or never left NYC) ...more like "Y'all come Eat, ya hear?"
