Hello all, last year I had a smallish, maybe 15 people, BBQ out at my parents land. I had smoked 2 pork shoulders and 2 racks of ribs, and my mom prepared a bunch of sides. Corn bread, beans, etc.
We are planning on doing a little larger gathering this year, maybe 30-40 people. Simple math would tell me 3-4 racks and 3-4 butts would be enough. I am thinking about maybe doing a few more racks of ribs, like 5-6 racks, and maybe 2-3 butts.
I just want to make sure no one will go hungry, but i would be pushing the limits of my smoker with that amount of meat. I would probably have to get a rib rack and stand the ribs on their side to have enough room.
Anyone have any tips for cooking for groups?
