at a guess i need to slow cook 50 kg and fast cook 50kg
oildrum size bbqs are available, as is a combo version with hot smoker
for the evening cold cuts
i recon a saddle of bambi and a pig's bum in the smoker
rib rack of beef along the back of the bbq with a dripping tray
for the afternoon large scale family wedding bbq
pork spare ribs, prepped, poached in 100 yr sauce and finished on a fast bbq
chicken portions, ditto but court bouillon
sausages sous vide, finished fast bbq
fishy things, fast bbq
vegan skewers, fast bbq
assorted burgers, fast bbq
other fast stuff as available or decided upon
assorted gravy for the taffeta or new shirt folk, i was planning on wearing a tank suit, fireproof, adjustable and hard to see the stains
there will be family and crew food while setting up and winding down
the setting up bit is important as this is a place i do not know with some borrowed kit and crabs or something for 15 on friday night would be a good start to getting kit sorted and maybe getting some stuff in the smoker overnight(i have done 4 day cold smokes of big pigs etc so small fire and snooze is not a problem)
i will take chapati kit but that might be for family and crew rather than for a 100, let them eat posh breads from the posh bread shop quite a few of them work in.
i am also catering for several restaurant/takeaway owners
many of the "mob"are serious foodies which makes it easier in some ways as bespoke cooking on fire is a better use of ingredients than trying for the "standard"brit bbq of charred frozen sausage and salmonella on a stick
there is a big fire pit thing and wood(unknown wood but wood) so a hangi is plausible for some of the slow cooked things if i can obtain suitable rocks if not slow needs consideration
ps there are several small kitchens available on site and a couple of trade size fridges in the big one which is an ideal space for prep etc |

thanks , every little detail adds to knowledge, i should know this stuff as i have done loads of cooking on fire but
if they are still working the local folk you suggested seemed to do various types so hopefully i can get a selection of slow and superhot fast burning
bbq season round here smells like a badly run oil refinery from the "easy light" charcoal and charbricks many folk seem to choose
imho cooking on a 1960's sofa cushion or a flipflop sole would probably taste better
as to lighting the real stuff a feather stick is usually adequate, my homemade overnight burner or earth stopped cookfire charcoal will light from a spark and a blow to get the first two bits going. free radicals and stuff.
i just had a thought that hot water is very useful, there are kitchens and kettles and ting but if i pop the ghillie kettle in the kit the hot water for wiping skewers, knives etc is where it is needed at all times
thinking of knives i need my best ones strapped to me( 2 tojiro's, a damascus mini cleaver and either the axe or the kukri.)otherwise i will waste loads of time wondering where i put it or ripping somebody a new one for using, or worse dishwashing one.
this means i need to get SIL to make me a tojiro cosy for the slicer and little prep hook, ace and he will get more things for his tool kit and plate, at home they stick on the magnet strip , the cleaver(razor edge and my go to general kitchen blade) has a very nice leather cosy as they are popular with assassins as well as street chefs and a chicken or a rival are both easy to dispatch with a "handaxe", the posher ones came naked and are both strong and delicate and not to be used by anybody but me
blackbeard in a tanksuit with a tac vest of metal is probably a good look for a family wedding photo |
