How much meat to a comp.?

[jbrink01]

Isn't that the Myron approach? "I only cook one brisket 'cuz I know I ain't gonna f!@# it up." :laugh:

My scores in brisket went up substantially when I doubled my per pound price on briskets but started cooking half as much......

 

[Tiki Wolf]

1 brisket, 2 butts, 3 racks, 16 thighs, maybe 1 whole chicken......depends on the size of the thighs.

 

[Ryan Chester]

I do 3 butts, 1 brisket, 18 thighs, and 4-6 racks of ribs.

 

[TOPPER-Q]

Once again you guys come through, This will definatly help the purchasing and planning committee, (wife).

 

[INmitch]

8 thighs, 4 racks of ribs, 4 butts, 2 briskies. Might go to 6 thighs. I hate trimming them bastages.:loco:

 

[Smokin' Gnome BBQ]

3 packer briskets, 4 butts, 4 racks of ribs, 16+ thighs..( if Im doing breast I buy 6-8 bone in splits (debone myself)or 16 whole wings or 2 family packs of drum sticks)

 

[big brother smoke]

1 brisky (waygu), 2 butts, 4 racks of ribs and 12 thighs.

The less meat you cook the more intimate you can be with your meat:becky:

Follow up question...

Another noobie follow-up – How often do you end up needing the 2nd brisket or the 2nd pork butt, do you really end up needing the back-up?

The extra butt is not only back-up meat, it also provides the money muscle.

I have used the back-up brisky once. It saved a DQ.

 

[Rich Parker]

1 brisket, 2 butts, 3 racks of ribs and 12 thighs

Same here unless I accidentally pick up a 9 pack of thighs then I just roll with them.

8 thighs?? You stud!

 

[Bourbon Barrel BBQ]

I would probably not cook 2 briskets and try and just cook 1 higher end brisket. 2 choice briskets are going to run about the same as a prime or wagyu..almost. At least in these parts.

We cooked one Wagyu last year and got some calls but switched to two CABs this past year and did even better. We always find one is better than the other.

 

[JD McGee]

Just an FYI for you as to WHY we cook what meats we do...

Two butts...we cook one for the money muscle and one for pulled and chunks. The money muscle butt is pulled sooner for slicing.

Two briskets...we cook two briskets just to choose the best between them...not all meats are created equal. When I slice through the flat on each one I choose the one that "pops" the best...:thumb:

Six racks of ribs...we cook baby backs from Costco...they come three racks per cryo plus we can't see the bones or meat on all the ribs...that... and folks sign up on a waiting list for our ribs...go figure! :loco:

Twelve chicken thighs...we turn in six...if I can't get six out of twelve right I need to take up nitting! :becky:

 

[lazy butt]

16 pack of thighs, 3 racks of ribs, 2 butts, and 1 brisket.

The 2nd pork butt is an integral part of my equation. it's not a back-up.

You are more than welcome to PM me that equation. :becky:

 

[MattG]

KCBS we do 2 Briskets, 4 butts, 6 racks of ribs, and 18 chicken thighs.

 

[Stoke&Smoke]

We used to do 2 briskets, 2 butts, 6 slabs and 2 whole chickens

Now 1 brisket, 2 butts, 3 slabs, and....well, haven't decided:what:
