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.
