Pulled Pork for 30

[bookemdanno]

Hi guys!

I'm thinking about knocking up a bit of pulled pork for my workmates on my birthday. There is about 30 of them.

I know the rough way i'm going to do it, based upon the Fabulous Baker Brothers Recipe.

I need a little help on tailoring it to a WFO, and how big a Pork Shoulder i might need?
Was going to knock up some rolls and coleslaw too, but thats the easy bit!

How would it be best to fire up the oven, temp wise and durations...roughly. I'm sort of thinking around 200c falling overnight.

How large a shoulder would i need?
Its only like a taster, not a lunch.

Thanks!

I'd get a whole shoulder from the butchers. If you have a few leftovers all the better but I reckon a whole shoulder will feed 30 (I know you said a taster but if it's any good they are going to want more).

200C is a bit high but if you are going to let it drop overnight then that probably sounds Ok depending on how well insulated your oven is.

I have literally hundreds of pork rub recipes but haven't come across the baker brothers recipe.

I suppose it depends on how long your oven stays at 200 ie how quickly it loses heat...........what temp would it be say 8 hours later? If its still up around 150 i would say that 200 is too high a temp to start the cooking
On the other hand if it starts at 150 and gets down to around 100 after 8+ hours then that would be about nirvana i reckon.......(even then I'd consider whacking it a 200 oven temp for the first 20 mins to fire it up)
Good luck and dont forget the rules............pics or it didnt happen

Thanks! Better get down the Butchers then!

Gonna attempt some Half Spelt flour rolls too!

Depends how warm your oven stays, I'd say 100-120degC for 8-10 hours would be perfect, but bear in mind you can start it indoors and then finish it off on a BBQ or smoker, cheating a bit, but still delicious.
A whole large shoulder would do 15-20, I'd say do 2, once people taste it, they will want more, did pp for 15 last night, one guy ate 3 rolls.....
