YEAH!!! We pulled it off!!

Well our biggest cook yet went very well, wrapped it & transported it for 2 hours+ and still piping hot when we arrived for lunch!! 8 kg of ribs, 2 medium chickens split in half, grilled sweet potatoes & Meatheads sweet & sour coleslaw. I used the PBC B&G rub for the ribs and APR for the chicken and sweet potatoes. I did use baking powder along with the APR on the chicken and let it sit 24 hours in the fridge uncovered and it did make a big improvement in the skin. Had the ribs hung in the PBC at 3am, but had to transfer them from the PBC to the gasser after 3.5 hours to finish as we needed to get the chicken hung and done, followed by the sweet potatoes, as we were pressed for time. Got everything done by 9am, wrapped, packed and on the road by 9:15. Made it to the family gathering right about 11:30, everyone one was hungry and in anticipation of this feast we were bringing. Still being new to this PBC & this being the biggest cook yet, I wasn't sure if they would like it or not. Often times, folks here are apprehensive about trying anything they have never tried before. But as soon as that foil came off and I got ready to slice everything up, the steam and aroma coming of that meat got their attention and once they tried it, they couldn't stop eating it!!! They were all in agreement that they had never had anything like that and it was the best bbq they ever had!!! So that made my day, and have to consider it another PBC success!!! We didn't get everyone in the pic, as some were busy around the house and some hadn't shown up yet. 18 total I believe, and it was plenty.

Congrats on a great cook!
Planning, execution all done nicely.
Family is often th' most harsh, brutal critics (honest), so I think pic #6 tells us all th' tale of success!
What a great lookin' crew! Have a wonderful Sunday, there in th' P.I.!

Thank you sir, I was sweating it for a bit, literally!!! But so happy it all went well and the family was just blown away by it all and asking all kinds of questions about how I did it, what did I use, etc. etc. Made my day for sure!!

Hahaha...ya, you could say that!! That liner inside the cooler really worked well, a 2 hour drive with the aircon on and still too hot to handle when we got there. I didn't think to bring the MK4 just to check the temp upon arrival, but the bottom line is it worked out pretty good!!!
