The Thanksgiving wedding reception went really well.

We started the burn barrel around 7:30am and got the spit up to around 200° and put the 120lbs of sirloin tip roasts on by 9am.

The people that I was cooking this for were not into spices; so that took out the guessing as to whether they would like the cayenne based rub I made up?

It didn't go on.

They didn't mind the idea of a beef broth mop that I would spray on the meat every so often.

The picture below was taken around 2:30 when the internal temp of the roasts were just starting to hit the 140° mark.

That's when we pulled the meat off the spit, wrapped it with tin foil and a blanket. I let it strand for about an hour be fore carving.

Didn't get any pictures of that but the meat was done perfectly with just a hint of blood in the very center of the roasts.

Me and my nephew just before we started carving; that's also when the battery died in my phone.

There were around a 100 - 120 guests at the reception.

What a great mix of people they were; many of which had never been to a BBQ like this and were fascinated with it. The best question i got was; how big was the cow to get such a long piece of boneless meat.

She was a quite young thing, so I didn't laugh at her; no dear there are 5 different roasts on there. LOL

I know people have been doing Beer Can Chicken for years,but have never tried it till today. A buddy gave me a couple chickens he raised himself & thought this might be a good time to give it a try.BIG free range chickens. I used hard apple cider instead of beer. The only downside was GF asking "why are you taking pictures of the chicken?" The bird is resting for a few minutes while the garden potatoes & carrots finish up in the oven. Will post taste test later(only if it is good)  photo 001_zps5wyuseru.jpg

back to Blue Lk, yes sir I can see what you mean. My wife has asked me several times about taking pictures of food to put on a fishing website. She considers it bizarre behaviour, which even though she EXPECTS eccentricity from me, she considers this is one step past that.

 

so GOOD LUCK!
