so my son's cub scout pack has their annual banquet (blue and gold) coming up next month, and of course, I'll be coordinating food. Not sure how many I'll be cooking for, but there's ~28 boys in the pack, and based on typical participation, I'd be surprised if more than about 17 or 18 families showed...still, that could mean 70 people or so, if not more.
Our plan is a medieval themed banquet. Main course will be chicken leg quarters...not sure yet if I'll separate them, or leave them whole. I've got three 22" kettles, and an 18" WSM in my arsenal. Question is, anybody have a good approximation on how many I'm gonna be able to fit, and maybe more importantly, ideas for increasing my capacity?
I'll be doing them very simply seasoned, and probably just plan to cook them indirect. Since it'll be a pretty short cook, I'll move my fire bricks much closer to the edge, and increase my indirect surface area a bit that way, but I'm wondering if anybody has any other thoughts?
I'm doing some leg quarters Wed night, so I'll get a bit of a better idea on what I'm doing to fit.
Thanks in advance!
