    60+ person BBQ, An adventure……

    I did this often and sometimes for 500+ after doing for a while thing I liked best was shredding pork after it rested for your preferred time and adding in any juice etc you like to use. I would then put into ziploc bags and put in fridge for 2 days. Smoke flavor intensifies when in fridge...

    Thoughts and opinions on holding a brisket via Sous vide for 24 hours?

    I do SV prime rib at 130 for 24-30 hours all the time. Issue you get for long periods of timis the texture changes and meat starts to fall apart. This hasnt happened to me on a prime rib but has on a steak that was cooked for multiple hours. I say go for it and report back

    Outlaw style offset build

    Same here but with cost of stainless I didnt really want to grab 1/8” thick pieces. Plus may not be avail in drops where I purchase. Hoping with rigidity a less thick piece would work

    Which gravity smoker?

    The unit Jeff mentioned from academy is what I was thinking. You can look at FB matketplace to see if any higher end units are for sale for cheap. I know you mentioned charcoal but there are some good pellet cookers out there as well

    Which gravity smoker?
