Our church is doing an evening deal for church in January and our bible study group is providing a meal one night.
We are going to do a taco bar consisting of pulled pork and chopped chicken (thighs). For simplicity, I am going to do 100 servings of each and assume each person will take 1 of each. There will be beans, rice, etc as well.
From my math, I'll need about 50-60 lbs of raw pork shoulder/butt and about 30 lb of chicken. Does this sound good to you guys?
Now..can my 18" WSM, 26" kettle and 22" kettle handle it? I think between WSM and larger kettle I can do all the butts. I'll time it such that they're off and resting at least 2 hours before the event so they can rest in cooler. For the chicken, I can either time it to come off the grill right before we leave home or transport kettle to church.
Any insight is appreciated! As many of you have experienced, these opportunities are exciting yet nerve wrecking. I'm grateful to provide this service and am thankful for my grill skillz
