Another fun time at the Chicago meetup. Got to see some old friends and made some new ones. Thanks to all for making this happen!

I recognise some of the folks......some not..... :-[
Maybe I can help. I've put names where I know them and placeholders for those I do not recall. (We were all introduced but names are not my strong point.  :-\ If you PM me your name/handle I'll be glad to edit it into the picture. (If you're in the witness protection program or otherwise wish to remain incognito, feel free to make something up.
kettles, smokers...

Being somewhat new here in the WKC I'd like to thank Brian and his wife Jenny for opening their house to everyone yesterday. It was a day I'll not soon forget. GRATE people, GRATE kettles and AWESOME food to boot, Doesn't get any better than that. The rain didn't dampen anyone spirit and was gone before we knew it. I'm already looking forward to next yrs. meet. I have some pics to load later today as well. @HankB   I'm the unknown in a cpl of your pics. To everyone that came yesterday, it was nice to meet you and hope everyone had safe travels home.

A few more for your viewing pleasure. This was the "looker" side of the yard:

And you had to get down low for some of the good stuff:

Meanwhile, over on the "cooker" side:

And here's the answer to one of the questions: More than five.  ::)

Custom brats in the house:

We need more cookers:

And a few snacks to keep us fed:

Like icing on an angel-food cake:

Time to get serious under the hood:

Most stuff barely made it to the kitchen - Terry was usually "in the way":

You think Larry remembers being a part of the first ever meetup? (January 2013!)

Dustin couldn't stop looking at his new baby:

Hey Jeff, you got those chicken pops ready?

Newbies unite! (well, newbies to a few of us)

Door prizes were quickly consumed:

Mac's Eggs too:

And I could not pass up the chance to say hello to my (diminutive) "birth year" kettle:


Plenty more cameras in action during the dry times. You'll see...

It was a great time.  Thanks to all who showed up and made it a great time.  It makes all the work worth while.  It was great to see old friends and make new ones.  I even picked up a few new grills....including a Wood Dale, and an avocado!

Even though I couldn't make it, I wanted to thank Brian and his wife for inviting everyone into their home and hosting what looks like another successful and fun WKC meet up. Love all the pictures. Its getting to the point that I can point almost everyone out in a crowd now after having seen these meetups from my computer/phone over the years. Now I just need to actually meet you guys in person.

Oh that was a hoot. Had a great time meeting everyone. Thanks to Brian and his wife for hosting the bbq.....considering how much was going on that was one very smooth cook. A special thanks to Jeff.

The grills were enjoyable to view as well.

AS we walk in and start to look over the area, my wife says oh how beautiful,

I figure she is looking the same way I am


NO!!!  She is looking at the water garden

I really wish I could have made it. I was on the road back home after a week long trip with the Boy Scouts.
