Praying for you and your family.

It's a whole pig that is deboned netted in 8 lb roasts. The said once the food is gone its gone, so no worrying about portion control. It's for they're little community. I was thinking $1 lb to cook, so maybe split the difference and say $1.50/lb. I am charging $2/person for 2 homemade...

They are wanting like 200 pounds of meat cooked so it is throwing off that calculation. I could try working it out by a bulk price.

Hello everyone, Happy New Year! I have a question I hope you can help me with. I have been asked by some extended family on my mother's side to help them with their 40 year biz anniversary and prepare food for about 150 people. Here's the catch..... they are going to provide all the pork and...

Got a couple at our church who is getting married next saturday, and I would really like to help them out with the catering price wise as part of their wedding gift. That being said, they have requested: Pulled Pork, Brisket (flats), BBQ Beans, Green Beans, Mac and Cheese. We will be using...

If anyone is using the COM200 Traeger unit, what is the most pork you have cooked at one time, and how much did it change your cook time? I need to cook about 500 pounds of butts to net the 250 I need for a picnic, and am thinking I will want to divide this up and have it precooked. I always...

Beef did really well. Out of 36 pounds of raw beef, I got a 22 pound yield.

Thanks everyone! I am actually just getting back on the forum now..been busy with work. I have 2 18 pound chuck rolls and 8 pork butts on the smoker now. Will see how they turn out. I bought a Traeger Com200 so I finally have plenty of room! Will let you know how it turns out. thanks! chuck

How do you figure meat shrinkage for pulled beef? What do you use? I have a request for a catering job for 400+ people and they want half pulled pork and half pulled beef. I have looked at the "chuck rolls" in the meat department, and they look like they would work well, but they are...

I would check with my supplier if you are interested in Traeger. I am saving to get a Com200 from them and it is WAAAAAAAY less than retail! I was in total shock. It would be worth a look whoever you buy your wholesale supplies from. I am starting my biz next saturday. This will be the...

thanks for all the help! I have a 50% non-refundable deposit already in the bank that is for a wedding in May with a signed contract! Yeah! Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! I was thinking half up front and balance one week before the event so I wasn't far off!

What process are people doing for catering deposits? when? How much? When is the final payment due? What about refunds? I have a 200 person wedding in May and wondering the best way to do this. Thanks!

thanks, I put loins and breasts on at 7:15 at 275. They have been on 2 hours, so will go bump temp to 300. We would like to eat around noon. The loins are 6 pounds and the breasts are 8 pounds. I am cooking them on the traegers, and they always seem to cook a lot faster for some reason...

Hey everyone, A while back we talked about a loin recipe using italian dressing as the marinade and then smoking it. I am trying to remember if it was 250 for 2 hours uncovered and then 2 hours covered? I can't find it on the search engine. Also...what do you recommend cooking 8 pound turkey...

thanks! Will get on it and see what I can find! I met an executive chef a couple of years back on the BBQ trail and we have become good friends. I am going over to his place tomorrow to get some ideas on dishes and things. It is a 3 hour drive that will be very useful and fun!

Hey everyone...been off the forum for a while busy with work. I have secured a little location downtown in my little city of 3,600 people and will start BBQ catering and BBQ to go next year. Anyone out there with any good contacts for bbq supplies and such? Any good online places for things...

Anyone ever use black walnut to smoke with? my paw in law taking down a HUGE black walnut tree today and didn't know if I needed to keep it to smoke with or not.

thanks for all the help! We had a blast! We sold out and had people backed up down the sidewalk waiting for food. Had people come back to the grill to tell me how much they enjoyed the food. That is worth more than money to me anyday!!!! Sure, I want to make a little $$$$ but just knowing...

Put all the ribs in the cooler and they did great!!!! I put them on in the park and glazed them and they did fine. We sold out!

Will do!

Definitely was going to offer extra sandwich for lower price! All great ideas! I will definitely mull these over and report back after the big bash!

So offer qtr pound and half pound sandwiches?

Thanks for the info! The thing is here that I am competing with a church, a restaraunt, and the boy scouts. They have the "full meal deals" so was trying to offer the same but with different choices. I could always wait till I get there to make my price signs and options I guess. We are all...
