50th BDay Meat qview

[tirrin]

This upcoming Jan, 15th is my mothers 50th birthday.  To celebrate it, I am hosting a party at my house on the 12th.  Im having a tough time deciding whether to grill or to smoke, and what meats to choose.  If I smoke, then a pulled pork is a must but want a secondary meat to go with it, and I think i've gotten it narrowed to a brisket or turkey.  Ive also tossed around the idea of a good beef chuck roast for slicing into sandwiches.  If I grill, then it will likely be burgers and steaks depending on the costs.  I also would like to do some appetizers, like maybe some abts.. What suggestions do you all have?

Well to me there is nothing like a good brisket..and you could always do both..good luck.

Any chance you can get a TriTip? If so you could do it either on the smoker or grill - ABT's  - moinks - wings are all good

Meatloaf and or chili can feed allot of people on the cheap.

If I could be 50 again I'd buy the meat & cook it for you!

well i asked my mom and she said that both brisket and chuck roast sounded great..i have already decided that i want to do a pork shoulder, so its up to the beef..i know brisket, so that will probably be the winner..as for the abts..ive never done those so it sounds fun..and thanks al..you can still buy it if you want :)

these are some qviews of the brisket and pork butt i did for my moms bday party last night..i didnt get any pics of the pork butt after coming off the smoker when i tried to take them, cuz i had like 8 ppl clawing at it..needless to say it didnt last long
