First cook on my Shirley!

[Thatgrimguy]

I did a large charity cook at a parade on Fat Tuesday to raise money for the Women's Center. It was my first cook outside of a fatty I did while seasoning.

First. The fatty.

Ok, then I had an incident that took the trailer out, but the Shirleys are amazing and got me back on track in time to cook the Charity event 2 days later.

I started with 16 butts on at 3am. Drip pans on the bottom rack

At the same time I put on a CAB brisket.

It's up on the top rack to the left.

It was cold!

Fellow brethren SGH (pictured) came out and helped. I also saw Deepsouth.

Brisket was MONEY

4 racks of beef ribs!

Some spare ribs too!

Butts heading out of the pans and ready to pull!!

It was a SUCCESS!! We roughly doubled the money and the leftovers went to feed the women and children staying at their two shelters! The Shirley is AMAZING. The flavor destroys the best bbq I ever pulled out of my Green Egg. It tastes so CLEAN!
