So my friend from work and I did our yearly lunch time pulled pork gig. On Tuesday evening we bought about 120 lbs of pork. That's 11 butts for over $200.00. I also picked up rub spices, sauce ingredients, charcoal and apple wood from wally world for another $90.00.
We started cooking at 11:00 pm Tuesday night and finished up at around 6:00 pm on Wed. Each butt was pulled and placed in a foil pan.
I made the sauce while the butts were smoking.
Here's the sauce ingreds:
64 oz ketchup
64 oz tomato sauce
8 cups dark brown sugar
4 cups cider vinegar
8 tbs Worcestershire sauce
8 tbs paprika
12 tsp onion salt
8 tsp dry mustard
8 tsp red pepper sauce
On Thursday morning I barely fit 8 pans in oven to reheat the pork. At 300 degrees, it took about 2 hours.
We had 100-150 happy campers after lunch. We also had 5 other homemade sauces contributed to the event.
A few pictures. Sorry no finished product. I will get some from work later and add them.

Daymn, 120 pounds of pork for 100-150 people?!? That's my style... lol Great cook and glad to hear it came off without a hitch.
I've done 8 butts (65 pounds) at once on my 22" WSM. Fun stuff for sure.
Those are perfect pictures. I bet it was fantastic and loads of fun.
