BBQ help.

[Derailed75]

So I have been wrangled into (actually no i volunteered) to help cook BBQ for my youngest school band fundraiser. Looks like I will need to smoke 8 butt's. I have never done more than 2 at a time and the guy that's planning this is also cooking 8. He's planning on smoking them the day before, pulling them off after 4 or 5 hours, finishing them in the oven the next morning and pulling them on site. We will be setting up at 10 to start serving at 1. My thought is smoke them for the same 4-5 hours finish them in the oven and oull them all the same day and warm and serve the next day.

I'm kinda leary about cooling them off and getting them back up to temp before 10 am and what it will be like to try and pull it after doing so.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? I'm hungry now.

You are welcome. I'm glad I could help.

I recommend this:

Seriously, I can barely manage cooking one thing at a time. Good luck!

My version of help would be partaking

Once the butts get to your temp or jiggle preference you can wrap them and let them rest in a good cooler for about 5ish hours. I’ve never pulled them off and finished in the oven but at different times I have put ribs, a brisket, and a butt in the cooler before driving to a get together and they’ve been steaming hot once it was time to set up a couple hours later.

Get them to temp. Wrap them, then wrap in towels and put them in coolers to rest.
