40 more pounds of pork

[Larry Wolfe]

I came up a about 3lbs short on the initial pork orders I had, mostly thanks to the bag I dropped on the floor and then I got a couple more orders yesterday. Back to Wegmans I went and got 4 more monster butts, smallest being 9.51lbs and the biggest being 10.41lbs. Rubbed them down and they went on the WSM around 6:30pm last night and they're sitting at 177º now, had to add a little fuel around 5:30am but overall an uneventful cook thus far!

It is amazing how much meat these little cookers hold.

Nice pics.

GM Larry... As usual you got everything under control! Thanksgiving is more than a month away and friends and neighbors are arranging for their holiday turkeys, pork butts, briskets to be "Q'd". Tnx for sharing the pics and narrative... always informative. Have a great day!

I ended up with 18lbs of finished product from 40lbs raw meat. This is the second batch of Wegmans shoulder that has yielded less that 50%, BJ's butts are always 50% or more yield......

The white stuff on the bottom butts is the fat from between the fat cap and the meat on the top ones when I removed them. Nasty looking huh?

Nice effort Larry. Almost as good as the Redskins and Red Sox.
