OK. It just got real. I gave half of the pulled pork I made yesterday to a couple I know, and now they want me to cook for a big party they are having in a couple of weeks. I am hoping the experts here can help me answer a few questions.
1. How many people can I expect to feed with an average 8 to 9 pound pork butt?
2. I have a 2:00 pm feed time. How much "goodness" do you loose by doing the night before and re-heating? My drum cooks a butt in 6 hours. Should I just get up early and do it before the party? (1 hr for clean fire, 6 hour cook, and 1 to 2 hr sit time for the pork. So 9 hrs prior?
3. What is the recommended sit time for a butt after it comes out of the drum anyway?
Any advice is welcome!
