My buddy asked me to bbq some meat for a tailgate we have on Saturday for 35. I'm doing 12 slabs of bb's and 15 lb of butts. He is doing all of the sides, baked beans, cole slaw & mac & cheese.
I think this should be enough for 35 people, I'm calculating 4 oz of cooked butt along with 4 bones per person plus all of the sides and beer.
Food has to be ready by 12 on Saturday, I'm thinking butts on at 5pm Friday to be ready by 7am Saturday then throw the room temperatured bb on and try to have them ready by noonish. I'll be running the butts at 250 the ribs at 275. I plan on doing the MM using 3/4 of a lit chimney to get me going to help get my temps up quickly.
What are your thoughts?
