I have 41 pounds (finished) of pulled pork...peach beans (8 pounds), will do 10 pounds of "Bill's Surprize Potatoes, 15 pound bottom round for French Dips, and 20 racks of baby backs and 2 11 pound picnic's. My wife is having a family reunion and our block party the same day. It's sure nice that I have my FEC100 
May sound strange, but I'm not cooking on the fourth. I do it so much, it's nice to take it off sometimes. Grandkids will be here so I need all my energy for that.
I am not cooking either, I am working. I will, however, climp to the top of the highest building on campus and watch the sparkly stuff.
I am picking up a 10 lb. CAB bone-in rib roast tomorrow and am planning on cooking it in the FEC for the 4th, and then i am cooking a few dozen chicken wings for a graduation party on the 5th.
My cookshack pepper popper rack came yesterday, so I may try that or maybe a brisket to try out the cookshack brisket rub that I made.
I picked up 4 slabs of spare ribs that I plan to trim to St. Louis style and do some baked beans using some left over brisket.

I have two 9.5# butts smoking for pulled pork that should be right for pulling tomorrow morning some time. I will also do some of my semi-famous "Kim's Beans" to take with the pork to Lake Texoma where we will spend the 4th with friends at their cabin. Pulled pork sammiches, beans, and fireworks on the lake is a good way to celebrate.
I'll probably do a couple of chickens, maybe a pork butt. My husband and I are having another couple over, no kids, how strange. :-(
Haven't given it much thought but ribs do sound great. It's been a while. Might makes some Hawaiian style baked beans and some of the wife's coleslaw.
Oh man, now I'm getting hungry!!!

Our circle of friends are having our 4th on the 5th. 
Im fixing Smoked bottom round and BBQ beans in the smoker. Then grilling 20 lbs of wings during the afternoon to nibble on. Ive got 30 lbs of bottom round that I dust up with CS Brisket Rub, and smoke up to 160*. Then I put in a pan (ok pans) with some CS Mild BBQ sauce with a touch of vinegar in it. Cover tightly and put back in the smoker. Take these up to 200*, turn off and let cool in the smoker for about an hour. Remove and chop lightly and add some of the juice from the pan back into the meat. Ive been working on this one for about 3 months and this is excellent.
