How many briskets on a large BGE?
Sgt Pepper
Posts: 11
I'm doing brisket for 50 people this weekend. I've cooked two 10 pounders double decker style using an extender grill. What's the most anybody has ever cooked at one time & how was it configured?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

What is the make up of the people you are serving. Men Women, Children?

I would think two 12 lb packers cut briskets would be about enough for 50 people.

I figured two 12 pounders will be close to enough & if that's all I can do at once, then that's what it'll be.
I guess I'm trying to find out the maximum amount of brisket you can cook at one time on a large and how to do the setup.
Any help from the experts will be greaty appreciated. -
I've never done more than 2, but 3 could be done if you have 3 grids. I guess technically 4 could be done with 4 grids.
You could always stack them on edge instead of flat - use some skewers to keep them spaced and upright - and allow some extra cook time.
I don't think two 12 pounders is enough for 50 people myself unless you have quite a few sides. -
Assuming 24lbs of brisket will lose 40% weight, that will be enough for 57 people to each have 4oz of meat.
Will 4oz per person be enough? -
Not if it's good!

I wonder...
Some of the brisket flats at my local grocer are pretty small. I wonder if you could wedge them into a rib rack and do about 6 at a time............
