I had a busy weekend

Back in May, my friend, Clark helped me build a table for my Egg at his house. I finally got it to my house and got the Egg in it. To celebrate, I cooked 4 Pork Butts totaling up to 30lbs. I got them on the Egg around 5pm Saturday and took them off around 12pm Sunday.

I took two of the butts to a picnic held by the Gulf Coast Magicians Guild on Sunday. We pulled the butts at the picnic. Those magicians made that pork disappear in about 15 minutes. Everyone raved about the pulled pork. Some had some questions on how I cooked it and I told them about how easy it was to cook low & slow on the Egg.

Tomorrow, my work is having a "Pig Out" celebration to celebrate May & June birthdays. I'm bringing the other two butts for that. I've got them in Foodsaver bags right now. I plan on heating them up in a crock pot tomorrow morning, with some of my mop and some BBQ sauce.

I'm trying to decide what to cook this weekend. I thought I was going out of town, but we can't afford that right now with gas prices so high. I'm thinking about smoking a chuck roast to use in chili.
