Advice needed

[qrczak1]

Here's my challenge and I would appreciate your advice.
I've been asked to cook for a charity BBQ party for ex-marines and their families. There will be approx. 130-150 people. Now I'm trying to figure out what would be the easiest and at the same time doable way to feed this number of people. I will be tailgating 100 miles away from my home. I have limited space on my trailer but still I think that my RK, 18 smoker, 2 or 3 22 and most probably one 26 will fit.
On the party day I need to serve the food at once. I will have more or less 24 hrs to cook it. What would be your advice in terms of menu?
Thnx in advance for all valuable inputs!

Pulled pork is going to be the easiest.

if never cooked for more than 10, but id say keep it simple and do the basic bbq foods hamburgers and hotdogs, brats. the ranch could more than handle the burgers and dogs. maybe a few chickens. potatoes carrots asparagus and corn for the sides. should be quick and easy enough to pull off an abundance of food in a short time

That's what I thought but I will need some more variety.

You need some pro catering advice which I am not. @hawgheaven @rub and others?

That's a lot of people to feed. Hopefully you will have a couple volunteers.

Pulled pork for sure, what else?

I'd get about 100lbs of butts which will cook down to about 50lbs. That will yield meat for 150 1/3 lb  sandwiches. Pork is affordable, easy, and holds well. I'd have hotdogs for the kids who don't eat pulled pork. Probably some pulled chicken for folks who won't eat pork. Your cooker situation will make it a bit of a challenge so get stuff done ahead of time and keep warm.

Another idea I just got is to grill boneless - skinless thighs and serve those. It's super easy if you have Grillgrates.

Ok here is Hoss from left field.

Pepper Stout Beef.

You have to dice onions and peppers but in the end all you do is blend. In the end with Pulled Pork you have to sort out the fatty bits....and I take forever to do this and at a certain point my hands start seize up on me.

Quick side note...if you are often having to process butts look into getting something like this, or make one. Attaches to your cordless drill and you're done in no time. You can literally pull 5 butts in under a minute. The fat blends in for the most part, improving yield helps keep the product moist.

Sort "out" the fatty bits?
Blasphemy.

I would suggest adding pulled beef to the menu. It is super easy to make using chuck roast.
