Smoked two butts for church fund raiser today

[prudentsmoker]

Used Tony's brine recipe (thanks Tony), Sam's butts, hickory wood and Curley's Hickory Sauce- a Kansas favorite. Made lots of sandwiches and people took the rest home. Anyway, raised somewhere between $2-$300. Thought it was an idea worth sharing.

Awesome!

I smoked a 20lb. butt for my son's confirmation in October and it went over very well too.

Pulled/sliced pork is a great option for Church potlucks or fundraisers.

I am absolutely new to smoking but I can only find about 7 pound pork butts locally including Sams? They have 13 to 14 pound vacuum packed butts but there are two in there. Where are you guys finding these enormous butts? Help a newby out. LOL

I got mine from a local farmer.

I regularly smoke the butts that I get from Sam's that range from 7-8lbs. And find them to be excellent pieces of meat. I actually prefer them to the bigger ones. The Sam's butts are the best as far as quality that I have found. So don't let their size scare you off.

Way to go, Brian!  Don't be surprised if you get recruited for more pulled pork at upcoming fund raisers!

Nice job, and great idea, Brian!  Now that folks have tasted your stellar Q, you'll raise more money next time! 8)
