Cooking for 10 on Monday - Help!

Unknown
edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I would like to cook baby backs, chicken and corn on the cob on Monday evening for 10 friends. How can I do this on one large egg?? Should I cook either the chicken or the ribs ahead of time?

    Cindy, you need Chef Will. He has managed to get an ungodly amount of ribs on his large. He does it bu stackingthem vertically very close together. So you could probably stand 4 slabs of ribs in the middle and let them cook a while (like 3 hours) at 225-250. Then put some chicken on either side - 5 breasts sort of set end to end on each side for another thrity minutes. Then flip the chicken and place 10 cobs of corn on top an dbump the temp to 350. It ought to do. Never tried it, butI thiunk it would work. Any takers on a better way?

    Cindy,
    10 hungry people. The egg can do it.[p]I'm thinking of this. Cook them ribs 3,1,1 method and your guests will be eating the best ribs they ever sunk their choppers into. This can be done on Sunday. Refrig the ribs overnight. Reheat in the oven for the party in corvered pans being careful not to cook them.[p]Ok, now Monday's cook is focused on the chicken and corn. Cook the chicken and when it's done get it in a Nesko to keep warm. Cook your ears of corn-it will only take about 8 minutes at 350 degrees on a raised grid with frequent turning.[p]This is doable. Keep the anxiety down and the fun up.

    Cindy,
    My best was 18 racks for a party. The nights before, do the ribs for the first part, 3 hours or so. Place them in alum pans cover with sauce and then refridgerate. The day of the eating, only warm the ribs slightly at 175 or 200 in the oven, just enough to liquify the harden grease. Then do the last 30 minutes of grilling in front of the guest and sauce as needed. This works great and the ribs are great and freshly grilled.
