Guys,
I could use some help planning out a cook I am doing this weekend for about 50 guests. Guests arrive at 5:00 PM. I am doing this on a Smokey Mountain 18.5". Should be fun! I want to cook a whole brisket, 2 pork butts, 4 whole chickens, 3 slab of beef ribs and 6 slabs of spare ribs. All Low and Slow -- no High Heat method. Except maybe the chicken.
I was planning on obviously cooking the brisket and butts over-night. How long can I hold them in a cooler wrapped in foil/towels? I am hoping I have enough time to cook the ribs after I take the big pieces off.
Will it work if I time the brisket and butts to come off leaving myself about 6 hours? 4-5 hours to cook the ribs. And about 1 hour at the end for the chicken? As a backup plan I figured I could throw the chickens on the my Weber kettle and cook them on that. And I do have some flexibility in when I serve my guests too of course.
I know I need things to go like clockwork more or less, but do you think this has a chance of working? Any recommendations or suggestions?
Thanks guys!
