Why TWO?

[parallel]

Because college kids eat like they're starving... LOL.



Two roughly 8 lb Boston butts on the Big Green Egg in for a 12 - 14 hour smoke (at 250° dome temp). One is rubbed with Dillo Dust and the other is rubbed with Dizzy Pig Raging River (a nice citrus, maple flavor with a bit of he*at) They'll be done just in time for the brunch I'm bringing in to my Drafting & Design Technology students tomorrow.

I wish y'all had smellnet so you could smell how AWESOME my neighborhood smells right now.

Should have started it sooner, that would make a nice breakfast.

I know right... it smells freakin awesome but it's still not quite done. Right now it's at about 194° internal temp on the Maverick food probe, but my thermapen tells a different story. It's about 10° cooler when I probe it with the thermapen. I attribute that difference more to the ability to probe in the exact middle with the thermapen versus where I had to put the Maverick probe into the meat.

Yesterday was fun, but I was so tired after being up all night cooking that I crashed early. Here are the rest...









Here is about half of the crew, the other half were still in various academic classes (like Trig... better them than me... LOL) After this I was too busy to get pictures. The awesome smell of smokey BBQ wafting through the building sent several hungry faculty members to my classroom as well... good thing I cooked two.

That looks fantastic.
Speaking of college kids being hogs, I remember my nephew while he was in college.
I was buying him lunch at McDonald's. He wanted two double quarter pounder meals!
This kid was not huge either. He was maybe 5'10" and 180, and could eat like a horse.

Thanks. That kid on the lower right with the bushy hair can eat WAY more than I can and I'm a fat ass... LOL.

Ah ok cool.
I will probably be coming over there this fall if I can work something out with the dean over there. May try to come recruit some welders etc for work. It seems the younger guys aren't as good as the old guys but they have better work ethics (there are exceptions). They are burning up outta school to go weld and make that big money at first lol
