1st Catering event a success
I just completed my first catering event. It was a charity event at work for aprox. 400 people. Cooked 128 lbs. of butts on the Bandera. It took about 20hrs with 32lbs each on 4 shelves. Couldn't keep the temp up high enough to go any faster but it turned out great!! Will post picks later. I heard lots of moans and groans about no brisket and what is pulled pork? as these Texans were going through the serving line, but when it was over there were nothing but smiles and compliments. Also booked 5 other gigs before I left. Thanks to the bretheren for all the tips.

Nice job, Congrats. Pork in Texas? Is that a hanging crime?

I volunteered to smoke a couple of turkeys for our thanksgiving diner at work and almost everyone wanted pulled pork instead. A month ago these people didn't even know what pulled pork was. Now that they have been educated or ruined which ever way you want to look at it, there is no turning back.

Pulled pork is one fine direction to go. But I do like my Brisket also, and who can forget about Ribs with just a fine tuned smoke and a wonderful glaze BBQ sauce. Oh the smell and taste. Gotta have chicken too.
smoked prime rib with a burgandy wine aujus. oh what a feeling!

Congrats on the catering job!!!!!!
Try smoking some Beef Chuck roasts for those TX boys. I love that beef and it makes the BEST pulled beef ever. Just did 30 lbs. for a little party and they ate it before they ate the pulled pork.

Nice work, Rick! I keep telling the wife I need a bigger cooker so I can cater. She's not buying it (my BS or the cooker).

ShoHn,
Don't ask your wife. Just go buy the one you want and make sure it is big enough to sleep in. PARTY!!!!!!!!
