"Can you give us a price to do a Cookout/BBQ for our Season Ticket Holders on Race Day at the Track?" Major NASCAR Track
"How many people are we talking about?" Me
"It'll be a few thousand people..." Major NASCAR track
~pause "Sure!" Me
How cool might this be? My partner and I just agreed to get them a quote but it looks pretty good. Yes, we have a bunch of questions we will fire off to them and then should be ready to fire off a quote.
MY first question is how many is a "few" thousand? lol!!!!
More to come folks and thanks for ALL the encouragement from CB and Char-Broil, guys and gals on forums, friends and family and my dog Bones, thru to be named 2012 supporters!

From the # you told me, sounds like a "few" smokers.

That could be one really crazy big party (on the low side...)
OR... Some kind of REVOLUTION... ?

The may be the size cooker we need!
Still have to bid it but the gig would be at Bristol Motor Speedway March 18th.
Emailing them this morning with my first list of questions.
I'll keep yall posted
Thanks
-
Cool. Would love to see this cook more than I would the race - does that make me an official BBQ nut?
-
Me too Bobo. Something about saying you cooked for 3,000 just has a ring to it. we meet on Monday to start going over things and coming up with menu choices for BMS.
I'll keep everyone posted.
THANKS

Mike it was a fun time doing it in the Navy on the CV67 JFK....We cooked for 5000+ every meal. When we did our cookouts on the flight deck the MM's (Machinist Mates) had built us 3 100 foot grills and put them across the flight deck. Each row took about 1 pallet of charcoal to start it and another to keep it running. One grill did hamburgers, dogs and corn. One did Pork butts, chops and briskets, and the last one did Snow Crab, Lobster, NY and Rib Eye steaks. After every cook they tore them apart to store for the next cook out. Dang those were good times now that I look back at them.

Do you have any pics of that? That would be so kewl and an organized nightmare. Pam ★*˚°。°

Dang!
Pictures please

I wish I had pics from it...was a young lad in those days and only camera I could afford was the old 32mm type. Lost all my cruise books and old pics in a flood at my Grandpa's place after my parents passed. I will check some of my Navy sites and see if anyone has it.

Sorry to be away but I have been looking for a day job and another maybe to be named blessing. But I digress
We decided to go for it and tossed them menu Options. 5-6 Meat choices and same amount of Sides. Note: Sides I would offer to 100 or even 400 go out the window when the number gets to 3,000. Example Potato Salad for 400 requires 17 Dozen Hard Boiled Eggs. Nuff said. lol
Here are a couple of my meat Crunching numbers. These are to make Servings of the Meats for 3,000 people
Pulled Pork
3000 - 1/4lb Sammys is 750lbs Cooked Pork
= about 1,500lbs Raw [20 Whole Hogs! lol ]
200lbs Raw in [1] of my cookers for 10-12 hours
Would take 7.5 Cooker Runs
BBQ Chicken - Thighs, Drums and Breast Quarters
3,000 pieces
150 Pieces in a Cooker for 3-4 hours
20 Cooker Runs
Pulled Chicken
750lbs Cooked
142 - 7lbs Birds
30 per Cooker for 3-4 hurs
4.7 Cooker Runs
Sausage Brats
3,000
225 Per Cooker for 2 Hours
13.3 Cooker Runs
we have [3] Peoria Custom Cookers I can put all in the same place and make multiple Runs.
Just thought I would share a little number crunching. Numbers would change depending on Multiple Meats and so on.
