Catering for an event tomorrow starting at 6:00. Smoking 8 butts, 40 pounds of chicken quarters,baked beans, and mac n cheese. There's gonna be red rice, coleslaw and an oyster roast as well. Any one have any tips on working for a big crowd??

Boy I hope you have done this before, cause that's a pretty big undertaking for a first catering job!
I have never cooked for a group that large, so I can't give you any help!

Update: butts are off, waiting to be pulled / mac n cheese and beans are almost done/ chicken quarters and gettin a lot of heat to try and crisp up the skin. Hopefully people like it. A lot of time has gone into this

So the meats been done for a little bit. What do y'all think about bringing the smoker down to 150 and treating in like a warmer oven??

If you were at a buffet it would all be covered using a steam table so your 150 sounds good to me
