    carlson,
    I just have to ask, do you have a mini? I can not see feeding five with the one I have. This is not to say it can't be done,I have not tried it. Fits two steaks no problem. You can always feed in shifts. Sorry I can't help.[p]Earl

    carlson,[p]I would go with a turkey breast since it's shape approximates the cooking "chamber" of the mini. For feeding 5 people, I'd be looking for an entree with the highest yield and there's no waste with a breast.[p]Just my $.02[p]K~G

    <p />carlson,
    If i was going to cook for 5 people on the mini i would cook pork tenderloin.You need to buy a 8" pie pan and a extra 9" grid,place pie pan on the grid in the mini,fill half way with orange juice,place new grid on pan.Cut tenderloin in 7" lenghts,you should be able to get 5 pieces on the egg,cook at 300 degrees for about 45 minutes.

    carlson,
    Just a quick suggestion, whatever you make on the mini should be a side and the main attraction. The reason is simple capacity. I smoke a rack of ribs on my mini by rolling it once and fastening it with bamboo skewers. It stands up directly on the grill. I smoke it for 4 hours.[p]KennyG’s suggestion of a small turkey breast is a great one and sometime I will try it on my mini. I have not figured out an indirect setup for my mini, but I have not tried either.[p]Lots of luck and let me know if can help further,
