Thanks everyone for their 2 cents. I appreciate your thoughts and experiences.
The two days prior cooked brisket was THE success of the meats. I will do two next time. Many comments from guests about how they love brisket, but can't get good stuff at restaurants so they don't order it very often. These folks were cycling through the buffet line, always raving about mine. Man, that felt great to hear.
The pulled pork, I thought, needed some more flavor, and i had coated the outside pretty heavily, but apparently not enough. Awesome texture, but needed more flavor i thought.
The 4 flavors of ribs were all great tasting but i couldn't even cut them cause they were so "fall off the bone" tender. (not my favorite texture) but they were gobbled down in short order.
All in all, raging success, but i know brisket is the hot item in my crowd, so i'll gear up accordingly next time
It was also the most time i've had with our guests due to the fact that almost all work was done, except for some reheating and cutting up.
SMOKING MEAT KICKS ASS FOR PARTIES !!!!!!!
