I'm cooking ribs and chicken for about 110 people at a golf tournament (not using a Weber). I've done this before for about 60, and just guessed at sauce, but with this many I'm a little worried. Do any of you have a formula for figuring out how much sauce to provide or a rule of thumb? While I'm asking... how much rub (I will be using rub on both the ribs and chicken)?
Since I know all of you are enthusiasts, I'll give you some details. I am a Smokey Mountain Cooker fan and that's all I bbq on. I'm cooking at a rural golf course in Tennessee. The owner is a BBQ fan and dabbles in it himself. He's built a huge cinder block smoker with iron top and doors. The fire is off set and he burns pure hickory from a local farm. In fact he starts the fire the night before, so all I have to do is show up and start cooking. Last year we had fewer teams so I pre-cooked the ribs on my Weber and then finished them there. But since his set up is so nice I'm doing it all there. The smoker even has a second rack that is on a pulley system that raises and lowers. I would guess the smoker including the fire "box" measures over 15 feet long and say six feet wide, with the top coming to about seven feet. It's sweet!
