British BBQ Society Forums

Hi All,

I'm just about recovered from last weekends party, This was my largest BBQ cook so far,
I catered for 50 guests using the biggest joints I've ever cooked-
17lb Brisket
10lb Pork Butt
2 Whole Chickens

I was nervous a bout the 17lb Brisket but...........OMG I nailed it even if I do say so myself, The Brisket took 23 hours total cooking time in the UDS, mopping with stock at 3 hourly intervals, Foiled with beef stock at 165f and continued up to 195f, rested unwrapped back down to 175f then wrapped, mopped and in the cool box in a blanket for 2 hours as I wanted it to fall apart, I couldn't have been happier with how moist and tender it came out.
Pork was a success as usual, I'm fairly confident with my Pulled Pork.
Beer Can Chickens were rubbed and smoked on cans of apple juice til done.

Nice one Graham.

Well done looks good (and tasty)

A pity you couldn't have made it for 52

Looks great.

Yup, thats some good looking eats there Big G, next time could you send the invitations out a bit earlier - mine still has not arrived on this side of the pond!!

Looks like you have put on a good show. Massive well done.

Eddie

Thanks chaps for the kind words
I've had 3 inquiries from guests from the party asking for a price to build them a UDS lol or just to supply oil drum from work.
Incidentally, if anyone is planning a self build UDS and can't source a barrel I can get my hands on one or two if needed, would have to collect it from me in Northampton as I'm right out of barrel size envelopes

I was wondering about that, I'd looked at the Royal Mail letter sizes and didn't see barrel

I did have some but I couldnt get through the post office front door

Well done mate! looks superb!!!
