It's go time! 
I'm cooking all the protein for my brother-in-law's wedding and i'm pretty stinking stoked about it!
The Menu
- 15.5 lb CAB Brisket (Wet Aged for 28 Days)
- 9.25 lb Boston Butt
- Six 5.5 lb Whole Chickens
- 4.5 lb Turkey Breast
- 5 lb Southside Market Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage
- 5 lb Kiolbassa Polska Sausage
Made my brine last night and tossed all the poultry into the brine early am. The brisket will go on at 7pm and the butt will go on at 11pm.
More to come. 
Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

From someone who was in the middle of it last weekend all I can tell you is booze is your friend and you will suprise yourself at what you can get done. That and you will forget a lot of pictures till later.Not wishing you good luck as that has nothing to do with it. You will do just fine.
I thoroughly enjoy it and can't wait to start feeding peeps and hearing some feedback. I don't drink alcohol, but I am hydrating very well. Everyone knows what I have on my plate, so I'm being left alone. What they don't know is that I have a very good plan and I ain't scared. :P
Currently, I'm on the deck enjoying the beautiful windy day!
Beautiful! What a way to cook. Good luck and can't wait to see the pics. I am going to have to get me a small. Is it pretty portable?

That's not a bad idea! I would call it a Meet and Greet though so only the cooks get to do the tasting.
Very portable. I can load it by myself without having to take the fire box or ring out. Just like cooking nurse, I have transported the small in my old civic.
I still want a mini though since its even easier to transport. Plus, my wife will use a mini and thinks "they're cute".

I agree with @sancho65, I'd like to see the brine recipe. The one I use has candied ginger and allspice in it, would love a new one to try.
