My First Big Cookout


 
Kemper, that was an awesome job and the food looks delicious. I'm sure that was the best HSR cook out ever, Congrats again Kemper.
 
Kemper!!! With that OUTSTANDING!!!! cook, it sounds like the reunion might just turn into a yearly event. Great job..
 
Even with 5 WSM's I would think it too several cycles?? How were the cooks parsed out?

It's obviously an outstanding job. I have an 18 and a 22 and have done cooks on both at the same time cooking several different items. That seemed like a ton of work and wore me out. That makes your cook all that more impressive.
 
I started the night before & loaded up all the Briskets & Pork Shoulders. They cooked 14 hours till around Noon. Then I out the ribs on. They took 5 1/2 hours. The Sausages I cooked at the Event. I wrapped All Briskets & Pork Shoulders in Foil & out in coolers & stuffed with towels. They stayed Hot until I needed them. I shredded 10 Pork Shoulders & put a bottle of My Vinegar Based Pulled Pork Sauce to give it moistness. Then I applied more Rub as I tossed the meat. Then I had a Carolina Mustard Sauce for Sandwiches. I sliced up Brisket, Ribs, & Sausages right before the Event.
 
I shared this post with a buddy of mine and the 2 questions he had were: How long did it take you to plan out this cook? and "Who paid for all that meat?" I'll add to that: Did you enjoy the executing this massive cook? Would you (voluntarily) do a cook of this magnitude again?

Took me a week to plan. I collected $2000 in Donations to help pay for it. If I did it again I'd want some help. Too much work for one person. I did enjoy because I have confidence in my ability even though I've never cooked for more than 25 people before
 
The biggest cook I ever did was for my cousin's wedding in 10/2011. Not sure the head count, but I just did shredded beef & pulled pork, nearly a case (~45# each) from Costco.

You're a truly accomplished pitmaster now. I was wondering how it was coming along when you posted pics the other day. I was happy to see the success.
 
Kemper,

To say what you pulled off is impressive, would be an understatement! I love that you shared this with us.

Totally cool, you really rocked all that BBQ!
