Weird no one has answered this...
So. The tricks to keep things moving is 1) to prep as much as you can and 2) cook food that needs as little cooking as possible.
Ideas -
- actual hot dogs, not bangers, but actual beech smoked German hot dogs. 2-3 minutes over a flame to get some char, into a bun, done...now bugger off little timmy
- smash burgers - but pre-smash them. Cooking really thin burgers takes about 90 seconds over a full flame. Onto a bun, ketchup and mayo are over there Steve
- Chicken - cook it all the way through in the oven, brush with BBQ sauce and then warm it up over the fire and use the flames to char / caramelise the BBQ sauce
All quick and easy. Set up your kettle with 2 zone - 1/2 coals for cooking, other half empty for resting food, lid on if you want turn it into an oven quickly.
No need for a second rack. All sides are cold and out of the way (potato salad, cole slaw, etc...)
That would be the least stressful BBQ ever.

Cheers, some good tips there.
Actual hot dogs is a good suggestion, will definitely go with that one. Not heard of smash burgers but look nice and simple. Any recommendations for BBQ sauce, I tend to find a lot of them a bit too artificial sweet?
Tempted to go with a butterflied leg of lamb as something quick and also looks impressive but not sure whether that will just end up with too much stress.

In a few weeks time I'm going to be doing a barbecue for a dozen people (plus a few kids). I'm out the day before and won't have that much time in the morning so doing a big hunk of meat for hours is out.
Any suggestions on what to do to keep the food flowing? I've got a Weber kettle and a Go Anywhere and will probably use them both I guess.
