So I've agreed to cook some pork butts for charity for a family friend that was in a car accident. After a few weeks of selling them we've got 25 butts to cook on Memorial Day weekend now. Sysco is donating 20 butts for the cause. :eusa_clap
I've got a Humphrey's Pint that will hold about 8 butts as well as 2 22 WSMs and 2 18 WSMs. I can fit all 25 butts on the smokers but I don't want to watch 5 fires at one time if I can help it.
My main question is would it be easier to do all of them in 1 batch on 4 or 5 smokers or do them in 2 batches on 2 smokers?
I have to hand them out Sunday afternoon but have all day Saturday to cook them. I was thinking to smoke them for 3-4 hours at 250 to get a good bark then wrap them to finish. We will be handing them out wrapped in foil (cold I'm thinking with instructions)
I was planning on injecting them for better flavor but now I'm rethinking that. Any suggestions about cooking or anything else that will make the process easier?
