Quite large event Friday night

[Ahumadora]

Confirmed.. Going to be head pitmaster cooking for 3000 people in the center of Palermo BsAs, a few hundred meters from the American embassy. For this I bring out the big guns, the whole naval fleet of 3 trailers.

[Dan Deter]

Alright, so just how many cookers are there on that fleet of trailers?

[Ahumadora]

"Texas" is a 1000 gallon offset with 3 racks in each door and an additional 250 gallon pit mounted above the firebox.1250 gallons total.

[Ahumadora]

"Bambi" es our new baby for the BBQ school. 250 gallon reverse flow with hotplate on top of firebox. Right side has a reverse flow pit 1.2 meters long, brasero in the middle for burning coals or wood, then a parrilla on the front 1 meter long.

[Dan Deter]

Wow. Just wow.

[CaptainMike]

3K in one sitting, WOW!

[Spinaker]

Hahahahaha, this is so awesome. I can't wait for these posts!

I love that slide loading on that one smoker! How cool is that?!?!

[realdocBBQ]

Holy smokes!

[FishTalesNC]

Pardon me while I go hide under the lid of my 22" kettle...

[Willard]

I assume there are pics but they are not showing up on my iPhone. Same with some other posts. Anyone have an idea why. I know there is somewhere else to ask this. I’ll have to look for it later.

[RichieB]

That's a lot of people & food to prepare. Please post pictures.

[Ahumadora]

Will do. I am dragging some of the trailers in tomorrow to set up, as Thursday it is raining

[Troutman]

That one's even got Gordon Ramsey's mind boggled .....

[Donw]

Most of us can produce outstanding food for our families and neighbors, but the task of doing so for the equivalent of a town is mind blowing. I would wish you good luck but you don’t need it as you have the experience and skills to pull this off without a problem. Would love to hear about the logistics involved once you finish and get some rest.

[Ahumadora]

Donw I will know more when I deliver Texas in the morning.

[Dr ROK]

What Donw said!

[Hulagn1971]

Holy Moly!

[RonB]

That's a whole lot of cookers! And a whole lot of people.

[JGo37]

Where do you carry the wood? The truck beds are enough for that?

[Ahumadora]

There is space in the lance of all 3 trailers for wood. Surprisingly the other day I only used 80kg of wood for the entire cook using Texas. It was 30C outside though.

[Keiferr]

Nice rigs! Looking forward to hearing all about it! Makes my little cooks on the ABS Judge for 75 seem trivial!

[randy.56]

Man that s lot of people to serve, The navy will be up for what about the army. How many helpers do you need? and trained helpers. also.

[Ahumadora]
