Us ex oiler's usually try and have things around Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years call Alcathons. They are get togethers that may run for several hours to a few continuous day. I will not go into more detail, if anyone is interested post any questions and I will be happy to answer.
I have offered to do the BBQ and the BBQ beans. We are shooting for 80 for dinner. I am going with the old catering axioms of 8oz of raw meat per person. Went to Restaurant Depot yesterday and they had boneless butts. Maybe they have always had them, 1st time I have ever seen them. $1.89/lb., was pleased with that as they were $2.29 at Costco. They were 2 packs like Costco, but had more fat on them then Costco. I got a 22.47lb and a 21.49lb pack and thought I would be in pretty good shape for the 10% over rule. Ended up trimming 68oz. (4.4lbs) of fat off. Will see. Gonna do the Bacon/Apple/Onion beans. Will have about 40lbs of that also, so hoping my number pan out!
Cooking a little tight on Memphis Pro, if the shelves were adjustable, it would be perfect! 275°, hoping to be done in 7-8 hours. Went on at 10:30am with a light salt, onion/garlic power & brown sugar rub. Will put most seasoning on when it is pulled.
