    Tyson foods showed up today with capabilities to serve 10,000 meals per lunch and dinner. They have it handled from here forward. I'm going home in the morning.

    Best compliment yet was from the guy in charge of food for Salvation Army. "I wish they would just give you the chicken and let you cook it. You are much more dependable and 10 times the cook"
    Two questions, what kind of rig did Tyson have to be able to cook those kinds of quantities?

    How does your grill handle the amount of drippings from all those butts?

    It's a semi truck propane rotisserie thing. It didn't come to the location where I was cooking so I never saw it.

    The reverse flow plate is welded all around and drains to a 2" drain, I just put the nose down slighlty and it drains out into an aluminum pan I slide under the trailer. I had to empty the tray 3 times over the two day period!!

    I feel like each day deserved its own plaque/trophy of some sort to honor and give recognition to @Thatgrimguy and the others who collaborated in all this. Thats a lot of butt sweat juice!

    Scott, I think NOLA would agree, you have earned an honorary spot in the Cajun Navy.  Food looks great!

    I think Tyson also has a pressure cooker rig they use for mass quantities as well. 

    the "Other People" might have been the "Operation BBQ Relief" crew that was cooking in the area as well.

    I'm headed out Saturday with generator, some fans and lights to help out one of my coworkers whose house got 5' of water and no flood insurance.  Bunch of people from work are volunteering some time.
    Nice Carey.  God speed.  Hoping for the best brother.

    Sounds right.  You can cook alright and SWMBO is usually right.

    @nolaegghead -  there is no doubt that anything you can do will be much appreciated.  And SWMBO is right to be protective of your back issues.  I'm here to tell ya, that if you aren't mindful, it will plague you for the remainder of your time on the planet.

    @lousubcap Good advise.  Yeah, I deal with this once every couple years.  For the most part I'm always mindful.

    If you do, just be sure to punch the chute before you leave the ramp.
    Love you bro!
