Cooking for 25 people!!!

[Doug Lax]

A friend of mine and I are going to Q some ribs
for Derby Day! With 25 people coming (adults),
how many slabs of baby backs should we get?
Oh BTW we are also having a fish fry....but I bet the ribs will win the day!!! between Kevin,Mark ,Jim and of course Chris I feel this should be easily solved. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

If this is primarily a rib feast, figure on 1/2 rack per person. You can get by with less if you polan on having a lot of appetizers and 2 or 3 side dishes. If not, you will need more than one WSM. Suggest maybe add pork butt.

With a mix of 50% males to females if you want plenty 4 ribs person should work. Which is 8.33 rack, so the number would be 9 racks, with a couple of side you should have more than enough for the crowd. 5oz servings of each side would mean you need 5 pounds of each.
