Brisket Flats
Guest
I have only had my Lang 36" since Labor Day, '11. I've loved every minute of it, have put out some good Q, but also know I have a lot to learn. I always smoke more than I can eat so I can share with friends - that's 1/2 the fun for me. Well that's led to one friend asking me to provide the meat for a party this weekend. I told him I'd provide the labor if he'd just pay for the meat. There will be 35 adults/teenagers eating.
He requested brisket (flats only), ribs, and pork. I bought two flats today that are soaking overnight (6 & 7 lbs). I also have 3 butts (about 7 lbs ea.). Then I was planning on 3 racks of baby backs (though I have more in the freezer if I need them). I'm thinking that's more than enough meat for their crew, but I also want some for my family to munch on all week. Can anyone give me some guidance on how much of that will need to go to the party?
I'm sure I could have read through the forum and found some guidelines - I apologize for the laziness. I'm just had a little panic attack as I was preparing the meat getting ready for my smoke in the morning. Any help would be appreciated.
