Looking for Suggestions

[nitis]

My buddy who runs the local Ace Hardware is going to have another Demo day in a few weeks

He had the traeger Rep out a few weeks ago and that was nice because they did it all this time its just going to be me and him.  He is going to run the traegers I will run the webers.  Obviously we will be doing some TriTips brats and hot dogs.

I was curious if anyone had any suggestions for things that would be quick prep quick cook things so that people might be able to see from start to finish

Or if anyone has ever don't an event like this please by all means share your thoughts and ideas.  I will be taking down one if not both of my performers my 14" WSM and one of my Genesis unless I can talk him into Demoing one of the new genesis haha

Never done anything like this but if I were to I'd try to show all the versatility of a kettle. Have one doing low and slow ribs. Have one doing some ribeye reverse sear and some sides and have a kettle incorporating some cast iron skillet action. I think most folks just see a hot dog cooker when they see a kettle grill. My family still calls it a smoker even though I've grilled and done sides for them.

Teriyaki pork kabobs cook quick and you could make up a bunch ahead of time. They would be able to see start to finish in minutes and be eating one. I hope your cooking beats the pants off the dumb traeger dude.

Haha yeah he just got his last month tough to beat when you get it for like 40% off wholesale as part of show pricing. But he is working on getting me to get one

I actually have a pellet pro hopper I want to fab into an older genesis 1000

Great idea on the kabobs

Also using a skillet something I've never tried on mine

I've done a bunch of demos and I just did one all day at Bass Pro yesterday. I did Smithfield marinated pork tenderloins seasoned with my rub, cooked indirect to 145, sliced 1/4" thick, and poured some of my bbq sauce on the cutting board for them to dip in. A big hit, very little prep.
Another great choice is boneless skinless thighs, especially if you have some GrillGrates to use on your Weber. Put the grates right over the coals, season with my rub, and grill them off in about 5 minutes with killer grill marks. Cut them into chunks and dip in my sauce. Cheap, fast, really tasty.

Sounds great guys keep it coming

I think I'm going to do some chicken tenders Sam's has some cut to a nice size for a good price

Pork tenderloins are good cheap and easy too

I'd love to do some jalapeño poppers too but the prep is a bear

Fire up a veggie kettle!

Broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus...too bad it's not corn season here. Still, a cardboard boat of veggies with a little tub of Ranch is always popular.

Moinks go over well and are pretty easy to prep.

My advice is to go there with as much prep work already done that you can

You are going be really busy with your cooks going on, so if you do any prep work there you need to have that item almost ready cooking so yu  can pass out samples. No one wants to sit around 45 minutes to taste something.

Also, have several kettles set up for different styles, do not think you will be able to change a setup mid stream. If that means having 2 kettles set up each style of cooking so you an have fresh cooks going, so be it. I would hate to see you frustrated trying to keep one kettle a max capacity when being able to switch between two when one needs a refig is just to easy.

good luck

I know you cant do a 12hr overnight briskett, but when I do get togethers with friends, we always do one big briskett, pull it like pulled pork as it goes a long way and serve it on a roll with coleslaw and cowboy beans.
makes a piece of meat go far.
Personally i would do a briskett the night before to show what low and slow does and on the day maybe cook a chicken on one Weber and grill tasters on the other.
When grilling tasters, cut your meat into smaller pieces so something is always grilling.

This is quick and easy.

Here's the sauce;

1 cup Hoisin sauce
1 cup Orange marmalaide
4 tbs honey
1 tsp cayenne
2 tsp fresh ginger - finely minced
6 to 8 scallions - finely chopped
2 tbs sesame oil
a splash of Secret Aardvark

Mix together, using a stick blender... make it look kinda like this...



What we have here are chick-a-bobs, marinated in my Asian sauce, strung up on Fire Wires, and placed around the SCREAMING hot Vortex. These are boneless, skinless chicken breasticles, chunked up and marinated in the fridge for about 4-6 hours...





CopperTop meets Mr. V...





Got him CRANKIN"!!



Here they are almost done...



Let's eat!! Served up with broccoli, rice, and some fresh 'maters...



Just a thought...

Man I really don't like the taco handle but your copper kettle looks amazing in these shots. Very nice cook!  I can't believe the copper kettles don't change at all with that high heat.
