and it was a big one!

Hosted 60+ friends, family & kids in the garden for my Wife's 40th.

2 x 5KG butts on the GMG DB
10 x rib racks on the Pro-Q Excel
Side of cajun salmon & Huli-Huli chicken thighs on the Weber kettle.
Sausages & burgers on the Weber gasser

Really pleased with how it went and got so many complements on the food. Finally justified to the Wife my I really do need all that kit :P

Shame I was too busy to take any photos but these were shared by others.

Wow. Sounds like a monumental day! Glad it went well! Think I'd struggle with just my lot let alone guests!:lol:

Link has come out weird by the way.

Sounds like you had alot of fun - at what ungodly early hour in the morning did you get started on all that to have it ready on time? :D

Took Friday off to put up the marquee, collect the meat & prepare rubs, sauces etc.

Dry brined the butts during day then chucked them on the pellet grill around 11:30 pm. The GMG ticks away happily overnight on a full load of pellets but still found myself waking up and checking temps on the Maverick (old habits die hard). The kids kindly woke me up at 5:30am on Saturday :shock: so had plenty of time to get the rest ready for a 1pm start.

Not sure why the links didn't work, tested them on another laptop & iPhone and could view on both.
