Brisket And Pulled Pork For 700
Options
CTMike
Posts: 3,247
So I was drafted by one of the Directors at work to cook brisket and pulled pork for the site picnic for an estimated 700 people on Wednesday.
Started out by borrowing another SF trailer to ensure I had enough capacity to cook everything in one batch from BBQ-Brethren HammerheadSh. Can't thank him enough for his generosity to someone he just met a few weeks ago.
Tomorrow a friend and I are headed to Restaurant Depot to buy 350# of butts and 350# of Angus brisket.
Trimming and prepping the meat tomorrow morning and storing in the walk-in. Meat hits the smoke at midnight Tuesday night for lunch service to start at 1100.
I will post more pics as things progress. Meanwhile here is a shot of 2 Shirley's in the garage out of the rain, and a shot of Hammerheads sitting in the driveway.

Well now, that's some serious capacity. Looking forward to this. Just the prep alone is going to keep you busy for awhile. Good luck on the cook, I'll be following.They/Them

Da-n. Talk about "Go big or go home..." Hope you are able to source all that protein. As above, post away as this will be fun to watch. Tell the Director he owes you more than one for this banquet.
Edit: At first glance I thought there was an extra 0 in the titleLouisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

Brother Mike, I was going to offer a few friendly suggestions, but you are probably already aware of them. As such, they do not warrant mentioning here.
On a seperate note, good luck ole buddy. I will be standing bye and looking forward to the finale. May the Meat Gods keep you ever in their good favor.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

400# of brisket and about the same in pork butts. Unfortunately they only had boneless butts.MMBGE / Large BGE / XL BGE (Craigslist Find) / SF30x80 cabinet trailer - "Ol' Mortimer" / Outdoor kitchen in progress.

This is a BBQ adventure...Can't wait for the cooking photos.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

My RD in my area only has boneless butts as well. I have to tie them up with butcher string from where the bone was removed. I find they cook faster as well even with them tied up.

700 lbs of meat at 1.5 hours a lb should take about 43 days at 225.
Wait. That doesn't feel right. Man I hate math.
All joking aside I am standing by to see these results."Brought to you by bourbon, bacon, and a series of questionable life decisions."

Plan is to fire the smokers up at midnight running between 275 - 325 F. I have foil and pink butter paper to crutch if necessary to arrive at the finish line on time.
Fuel is oak, hickory, and maple with some peach and pecan thrown in.MMBGE / Large BGE / XL BGE (Craigslist Find) / SF30x80 cabinet trailer - "Ol' Mortimer" / Outdoor kitchen in progress.
