Every year my wife is in charge of the March of Dimes Fundraisers for her school. The last 2 years we have done a BBQ plate lunch. Word of mouth has gotten around and the turn out was crazy this year! I'm going to have to do 2 batches OR get a 2nd Egg for next year.
I did 6 bone in pork butts for a total of 46 lbs on ONE XL Egg! It took a little engineering, but I was determined to do them in 1 cook. I removed the fire ring and lowered the plate setter directly on top of the fire box, legs up with the grill grate on top of the legs. Then, I put my make shift rack extender on top of that. I have the old model XL so I lack vertical space unlike the new ones. It was tight, but got it to fit!
