@CTMike , that is one awesome picture - beautiful stick burners with lots of protein ready to go on! (and the cooks breakfast is looking great as well) Is the firm hiring? I'd at least like to work there today and am happy to make the commute!
I'd say "good luck" bringing it across the line, but based on the cooks you post and the start you have I think you've got this more than in hand - no luck needed! Can't wait to see the final picsDoug

Looks awesome and i speak from experience, there is a lot of coordination and pre planning going on for a bbq on this scale. Attendees will be very happy....nice job!

So I just got home after starting the fires at midnight. Both Shirleys ran at an average of 300 F. I really expected to chew through the the wood with the amount of meat to bring up to temp, but I only used 3/4 of the wood basket on each cooker. A real testament to how efficient these things are, and I feel the insulated fireboxes played a huge part in that.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the loaded cookers because we were too busy. I was able to fit 18 briskets and 20 butts in the main chamber, and 4 briskets and 8 butts in the warmer oh my monster. The remaining 6 briskets and 12 butts went in the 24x50 Brethren HammerheadSh graciously loaned me. The warmer in the smaller cooker was used to cook those baby backs for our snack.
Overall based on the feedback, we killed it. Raving, positive reviews from all. The two smallest briskets were a little over, as they tended to crumble when slicing. We ended up just chopping those and no one really knew the difference.
One huge learning point for me: portion control. The cafeteria folks made the sides and were assisting, I stupidly assumed that they would be serving as well. I did not talk to them about that, and as a result it was self-serve and we ran short of brisket. I feel bad about it and apologized to the Site VP and the Director that was organizing the event. They laughed it off and said they were ordering BBQ from a local brick and mortar joint for the backshift.
All in all it was a great success. I will post more photos when I get them from the site photographer.MMBGE / Large BGE / XL BGE (Craigslist Find) / SF30x80 cabinet trailer - "Ol' Mortimer" / Outdoor kitchen in progress.

Great job. Awesome undertaking. Commendable for sure.
