[dirtman775]

Well it's not a catering job but my first smoke for a party of 30+.
The menu consists of 76 abt's, 4 racks of spare's, and to top off this menu is dutches baked beans. Wish me luck

30 angry mob members! Yall better chuck in some more ribs friend, their gonna eat yall alive! Hope the party goes good all the same!

Good luck, 4 racks will feed 16 people at 3 ribs a person.....somebodys gonna go hungry!

 

[dirtman775]

i did suggest more, believe me, but not my party, and not my wallet, either, so i kinda have to go with the flow.....

 

[daboys]

I think I would "suggest" a little harder! The cook will be the one the guests come after first for more food!!

 

[dirtman775]

lol lol, i know, just called the wife @ work "a&p supermarket" to pick up some more, the other racks will have to b on me!!!!! I figured if im gonna b there @ 5:30 am to start i might as well make it worth it. BTW i have never done this many racks at once, will it tae the same amount of time as if i were doing one?

 

[dirtman775]

rib racks, yes, holds 6 racks. using a cgsp

 

[dirtman775]

Nice......TY hunter.

LOL, ya got that right my friend!

Good luck with your first big group. Make a game plan and work out your schedule in your head. leave room for error, cuz there will probably be some. If ya need some help, we'll be here!

 

[dirtman775]

Yup takin it slow, especialy in the o'l noggin, not gettin to far ahead of myself. Should go ok though, gonna do the ribs first and wrap em in the towels and put em in a cooler to keep em all wharm and cozy, and have the abt's ready for when the guests arrive.

 

[daboys]

I'm sure glad it's you and not me that has to do 76 ABT's! Gonna be a little bit of prep time there!!

 

[dirtman775]

was up @ 5 this morn already done and in the frige.

 

[daboys]

I can't even imagine doing 300 japs Ken! That would be a BIG task. Good idea on having them split and seeded for you.

 

[dirtman775]

Well the food was a huge hit!!!!! Honorable mention goes to dutch for the baked beans, thank you, those bad boys were gone in a matter of miniute's. The ribs were also gone in a flash. the comments i got ranged from: "in my 60 yrs i have never had ribs this good" to "will you cook at a party for me? The abt's were how shall i say, the stars of the show..... lol, couldnt have done it without all the help from every on the board here ty all!!

i have trouble with getting pics up but i will take care of that soon.

 

[capt dan]

great to hear it all went well. Get them picks up, I got points to give!!
