    Are you going to buy the meat according to the recipe you choose? or you already have the meat and want a recipe? if it's the latter, what meat cuts do you have?

    cheers!

    What do you have for equipment and help. Are you flying solo with just a basic egg or do you have help and every accessory known to man?

  • two words "pit beef". ...go buy some eye of the rounds or top round roast beefs. ....

    dust it up really heavy with something like dizzy raising the steaks, or cow lick, or my favorite, red eye express. ...set your egg up indirect, grid over plate setter feet up. ...375 degrees dome temp with a nice big chunk of hickory or oak. ....

    put the roasts on till they hit about 130 internal temps (depending on the size of the roasts won't take more than 1 1/2 to 2 hours or so. ... foil tent them loosly for 20 minutes or so to let the juices re-distribute. ....then (and this is the key as these are fairly tough junks of cow) you need to really, really thin slice them. ."shave" them. . .if you have an electric slicer, it really helps. . . .serve them on dinner rolls or kaiser rolls with bbq sauce or horse radish and some raw onions. . .easy peasy, very doable in the time alloted and you can feed the hungry masses. ...

    What ever you cook, be kind to yourself and keep it simple.

    Are you wanting to serve continually during the 4-5 hour period, or just cook during that time and serve at the end?

    Finger foods work best.
    Drumsticks
    ABTs
    Chicken wings
    Do some marinated flat iron or skirt steaks and serve slices
    Do some satay with various pork or chicken marinades
    Pork tenderloin medallions
    Shrimp marinated 2 or 3 ways
    Scallops

    Lots of ideas.....
