The start of an Epic Smoking Adventure

[brentczech]

Hello all,

Here is what I have going down within the next 48 hours. I'm throwing a bday party for my son. I have about 60 people showing up. 40 adults, 20 kids.

Here is my menu....

6 Pork Butts ranging from 3.5-5 lbs. Already rubbed and in frig. Pork will be PULLED!

9 Slabs of pork spare ribs

Rib tips from trimming up spare ribs.

4 - Whole Chickens injected and rubbed

12 Chicken thighs injected and rubbed

14 lbs of kielbasa (two different kinds from Polish market)

The party is Saturday night. I plan on smoking pork butts and chickens tomorrow (Friday). I will do ribs and kielbasa on Saturday.

Here are the side dishes.....

Dutches Wicked Baked Beans

Corn on cob

Potato Salad

Coleslaw

Grilled mushrooms, peppers, onions, eggplant

Fruit salad

I will start posting Q-Views very early tomorrow (6am PT). 

This will be by far the largest smoke I've attempted. 

Any help would be great.

Wow, what a project!!  Earlier this year i did 12 racks of St. Louis Ribs for a neighbor's graduation for his daughter.  What i did with those is to prepare them the day before.  Got them almost done except for the final hour for mopping.  After i got them where i wanted i foiled them and let them cool off and put them in a fridge. Then the next day i timed it [or tried] to start mopping as the crowd came. This way they got to see them at their best and then served them a hour or so after they arrived.  It was a learning experience for sure, but it worked out somehow. Reinhard

I'm looking forward to the morning. The smoker is prepped and ready to go. Pork butts look good in frig getting happy covered in rub.

Q-View tomorrow morning before the swine hits the hot metal.

Update: Looking pretty good so far. Smoker is holding temps good right at 220 or so. I've been spraying butts with apple juice everyone 1/2 hour or so. The smaller butts on top have a temp inside of 165.
