    Newbie smoking for 50-75 this weekend

    Just wanted to let you all know that things turned out well at Sundays party (sorry no pics). There were actually less folks than I anticipated. I served 4 butts worth of meat, so I had 4 left, but that was ok. At least I was well prepared and leftovers are not a bad thing. I did run into...

    Newbie smoking for 50-75 this weekend

    This is not a joke, but I can sure understand you all thinking that. I've read through the suggestions and the pulled pork 101 (thanks bubba, very encouraging). Sorry, but what do you mean "before drums"? By the way I really meant 50-75 sandwiches and not filling 50-75 people neccessarily...
