    20 Briskets and 150lbs of Sausage

    Just got nominated to cook the food for our towns annual fall festival hosted by our church. Will be cooking 20 packer briskets, and 150lbs of smoked sausage. Will be an interesting cook, and by far my largest to date (I cooked 15 PB a while back for one of our town events). Will be September 4th. Ill keep you updated.

    Sounds like a great endeavor. We would love to see the set up you will be using to tackle this BBQ mountain.

        How long is the festival? Are you cooking multiple days or are you having to handle that task for a single day event? Either way it sounds like a ton of fun and a lot of work.

          Single day... They buy plates the day of the auction. I will probably sell some of my rubs in the auction for chairity as well. figure its a good time as people are eating it (assuming they like it, last time they LOVED it and tried to get me to cater partys and events,lol)

          I have not tried to stuff my vault full. Are you planning to put all 20 on at once, or do two rounds of briskets?

          I have stuffed it a few times with butts and ribs. it extends cooking time quite a bit. I have to find a way to get both trailers there. or may do some on one of the grills. ill figure out the logistics the closer get.

          I hear you on the need for more cooking room! Nothing like a project to push us to innovate the process!

                  That's still pretty efficient. And thanks for the righteous denial on the aforementioned bottle. We all saw it and were hoping it wasn't so! However, I do keep one or two around to impress the little ones with my "Boy Scout Skills" when building a campfire.

                  It works fantastic as a grass killer, or burning out old mesquite stobbs.

                  yeah, one full chimney will heat the vault to 225, and keep it there for about 2 hours, and then I miserly add brikets or wood from there.

                  Getting closer, will be making rub and sauce next weekend. Ill make a sweet Kansas city style sauce for the infidals, some mop sauce for people like me, and one of my sweet heat sauces for the ones that like to feel it for hours.

                    Update, I learned today that not only did they buy select briskets, they are frozen... Thinking I am going to have to inject the heck out of them to keep them moist. My injection will be Beef broth intensified with home made aus jus, and better than bullion, along with Worcestershire sauce a little sugar, salt, and MSG. Ill go back behind with some canola oil and inject the flat again. Ill pull around 150ish (I know its early but I don't want to loose much moisture) and add 1/4 cup of injection to foil when I crutch along with some parkay squeeze butter. After it hits probe tender, towel it and slow cool it in a cooler. I am worried the bark will suffer. Maybe put it back in the pit after the crutch to tighten it back up. Not sure yet, any ideas, suggestions, or critiques?

                      Is it possible for you to get one early, to try a test run? That would be my ideal scenario.

                      Fairly complicated injection. One ingredient you might want to consider is some form of sodium phosphate in your brew. Gives great results and retains moisture.
