I have cooked many times for close friends and several times for co-workers, but I have my first real cook for "others" this weekend. I'm loading all my smoking stuff up on Friday and driving up to Nashville to cook overnight for my brother-in-law's 35th birthday party on Saturday afternoon. Expecting about 35-40 adults plus kids.
I am only smoking butts for pulled pork. He doesn't smoke, but fancies himself a decent griller. He plans on grilling several racks of ribs. Another friend of his is grilling his "famous" wings.
I can't decide how much to cook. Two 8 pound butts would probably be enough. We will have apps, the ribs and wings, and some sides. There will be birthday cake as well. I think I will probably do three butts anyway.
I plan on doing 1 or 2 with Chris Lilly's rub and injection recipe and serving "plain". I have done this many times. The other 1 or 2 I plan on using K Kruger's metamorphisis rub and his vinegar based pulled pork finishing sauce. I have made the rub several times, but have not done his finishing sauce before. I hope it works well.
Wish me luck.
Any helpful hints or ideas are appreciated.
