My Daughters Engagement BBQ

[lemans]

Friday I do the big smoke for the party
36 lbs of Brisket 32 lbs of Pork. That’s a lot of meat!!

 

[jaxgatorz]

Wow !! That's going to be fun !! Getting a seat early for this one .

 

[smokerjim]

that's a nice haul of meat, I think I would of topped it off with a couple of beers, I think you might need them for that smoking session

 

[6GRILLZNTN]

That's going to be a heck of a party!

 

[lemans]

So help me out. I’m smoking in Friday the party is Sunday . I was going to let the meat cool them vac wrap and leave it in the cooler . Then Sunday put it in a pit of 190 degree water . Slice and au jui and serve . What do you think

 

[lemans]

Pot

 

[6GRILLZNTN]

Pot

Nothing makes a party better! JK.

 

[Carvendive]

*...Slice and au jui and serve" Sounds like a winner to me. I'd forget the pot and add in a 6 pack - well, maybe 3. That way I'd remember the party and not over do the smoke.

 

[smokinbill1638]

Sounds like a solid plan to me. We do that on a regular basis except we put in freezer then reheat that way.

 

[PoukieBear]

Wow, that's a lot of pork! I've never been that ambitious....yet.

What are you smoking them on?

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

Gonna be one hell of a party! Good luck with everything. And I second you are gonna have to have some cold ones to make it through that smoke

 

[lemans]

Gotta stay focused. Water and Red Bull only

 

[lemans]

Going to be using my big guns. 22 WSM
My BGE and my Vision.. the Ranch is doing the other two back up butts and the beans

 

[SmokinVOLfan]

If I remember correctly seeing a picture awhile back you have a hell of an arsenal of kamado style smokers? How much charcoal you think you will go through?

 

[siege]

Congrats on your daughter's engagement. You are not losing a daughter, you're gaining a BBQ assistant.

Had my alarm set for 4:00am. But at 12:30 my eyes wide open I said “mite as well.
I trimmed and seasoned the 3-14 lb prime Briskets last nite at 9:00 so no problem there.. so you know when someone says “I can get the meat for you” beware. At 12:30 I lite the grills
Back in the house to prepare the 4 Pork Butt. They are in a two pack .. I cut them open to find a horror!! They have been deboned!!! Oh god.. I wanted everything perfect.. so I slathered them and seasoned them and all on my WSM..
I never did a Butt without the bone.. wish me luck. Gotta cook faster I bet..

 

[smokinbill1638]

Good luck, it should be no problem. I have never tried one without a bone either.

 

[smokerjim]

I don't think they will cook a whole lot quicker, as for taste you won't know the difference( my opinion) good luck

 

[PoukieBear]

Don't worry about them not having a bone. NONE of the butts I get here have a bone, and every single one of them has been amazing, also done on my WSM.

You're going to rock this cook, I know it.!

 

[siege]

It won't matter much. You are cooking by temperature, not time. When they are done, they are done. Relax, enjoy the experience, and graciously accept all the compliments.
