Hey all,
It's been a while since I posted cuz I've been pretty busy. I'm finally gettin a chance to get this out. I got involved with an organization called operation BBQ. What they are all about is supporting our fine men and women in uniform by cooking for them when they are deploying or coming home from a deployment. We recently cooked for about 1100 soldiers at Redstone Arsenal Al. who could not go home for Thanksgiving. The Deuce Pigalow/Bubba Keg team along with three other teams and Chef Ben from the Redstone Officers club cooked 56 butts, 69 turkeys, 48 hams, and all the fixins. It was a great event and I am looking forward to doing another one. It was a great feeling to give back a little to those who give so much for us. Being a ritired Marine myself I know where these guys and gals are comeing from and know that this meant alot to them. All of the food that we prepared was donated by local businesses and individuals.
The Bubba Kegs did a great job. I did ribeyes for the crew the night before and was told by some of the other teams that they were the best steaks that they had eaten. Also I cooked 15 of the 56 butts on my 5 Bubba kegs. I checked them about every three hours during the night and they never fluctuated from 250 deg. A couple of the other teams that cooked on cookers equipped with gurus had some difficulties. I was proud of the Kegs performance. Once again they proved what outstanding cookers they are.
