I haven't tried it yet, but burgers are always good. I want to smoke some one day & see what happens. Now, with 16 year olds, anything "FREE" in food is always good. Just put "YOUR" special touch on it & you will win over 30 yound men who will darken your door everytime your smoker is lit. Good luck. I mean that, Good Luck! (And don't let them rush you. This is an opportune time to establish yourself as "Da Man" on the smoker.)

Looks like you've got it covered. Alot of work. Me....I'd run.

ABT's are a hit with everyone we've made them for.

Bbq beans for a side...don't know anyone who doesn't like these either.

Cold smoked/seared hot dogs or brats are pretty tasty...they taste like smoked sausages.

Don't forget the most important thing...HAVE FUN!

I think I would give him $200.oo and send him to WHITE CASTLES,at that age they dont care about Quality its Quanity....

Looks like you have the entree covered. Soak ears of corn overnight and let them get good and "roasty-toasty" in the smoker. Now, for dessert....

You could smoke an apple cobbler and make some homemade ice cream.

Is that too much??

Rick with a crowd like that I'd throw a couple butts into the mix as well if them boys get hungry you know how much they can eat in a hurry

I can tell you what your gunna make.. you going to make a bunch more trips to the grocery store with thirty 16 year olds.. LOL

I would say some pizza FATTIES sliced up and a bowl of sauce for dipping. You would be KING!

ABT's would work, but as a father of 4 boys, 3 are teenagers, and we've had the crowd of kids here, I highly recommend for you and your spouse, some extra strength aspirin and some ear plugs.

 

[meateater]

That's why he's looking to keep there mouth's full, LOL.

 

[fire it up]

Why not some ABTs to add to the mix, kind of a lot of prep work but they are sure to please.
A great, extremely versatile and loved by all-couple of 2lb fatties?

Hmmmmm 30 teenagers? I'd stay away from the BEANS!

We teach a cooking class to teenage boys and girls. One item that is always a huge hit is chipotle mini burgers - you use a small hamburger ball and grill or smoke it, then add a chipotle mayonaise and some jack cheese and serve on the Hawiian rolls - mighty tasty

For dessert - this is very easy and is killer good. We recently did this for a catering job and everyone loved it

Miniature Cherry Cheesecakes
1 - 8 oz package cream cheese softened
2 - eggs
2 - tablespoons lemon juice
2 - teaspoons vanilla
2/3 - cup sugar

Blend ingredients together.

18 vanilla wafers

Place one wafer in a cupcake tin and full 2/3 full with cream cheese mixture. Bake for 20 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.

Cool and top with 1 can of cherry pie filling

Good Luck and have fun with it

Beer!! It will make you popular. LOL.

Make a big batch of smoky sloppy joes. Smoke a bunch of burger meat for a while then throw that smoky meat into your croc-pot and make your sloppy joes as normal. I have been dying to try those for a while now.

30 16 year olds

Wow! Truthfully 16 year olds don't much care what they eat. As long as it tastes good and isn't good for them. I'd be more worried about what I'm going to drink to get through that ordeal!!

 

[wingman]

I would go with butts, ABT's and Wings. I jsut deid some wings I injected with A mix of butter, brown sugar and Franks Redhot. My teenagers went nuts over them. You could do 50% thatway and 50% Teriiyaki with a butter, teriyaki and pineapple jiuce injection.

And as mentioned above I would not forget to top it all off with asprin! Wash the asprin down with a Jack & Coke or two when they have all gone home.

Smoked burgers are my favorite and they only take an hour or so depending on how thick u make them. I like chopped onion in mine.

I can tell you this. Get more ribs than you think you need. Everytime I have a shindig the ribs go twice as fast as everything else. I had to start leaving a stash outside so I could have a few.
