Firstly, let me say it was an honour and a pleasure to host this Meat and Greet. As well as having the regular crew, I augmented this with some fans and friends that don't have full blown Weberitis. ... but it won't be long. :P
I won't write too much, but rather just let the pictures tell the story. But I would like to thank Troy for the stickers that I handed around proudly. They were so popular that one particular Grillfella stabbed me with lit charcoal, then stole all of them! :-[
And I'd like to thank Buckie for inspiring me to make some PB&J bacon wrapped turds. 8) When I asked who wanted to try some, I was met with a wall of silence and blank stares. Then when I forced a guy to have one, he couldn't get another one quick enough! :- If anyone ever needed to prove the old adage of pigs flying, then this would be it. They FLEW of the tray and we couldn't get enough of them.
Now pictures.

At this point, let me just mention that most of the following pictures were taken by others as I got very busy. I have stolen those pictures. ;)

And finally, a big thank you to the other WKC Grillfellas. I haven't know you guys for long, but I KNOW we will be mates forever!

Looks like you had a good turn out and a lot of good food!
Talk about a feast! Looks amazing you guys!
That looks like an awesome good time!! Nice looking food and kettles!
So who's who on the pic?
Looks like great time. Awesome food and cookers. Thanks for sharing.
L-R: JayCee, Golly, JoCool, kendoll, Hogsy.
It was a fantastic day, sooo much great food, and great people.
Thanks so much for putting it on Joe, and for putting up with us (especially Dave and his assault on you). Still full today!
Will post up some pics of the weber's when I get the chance too.
Can't wait for the next one.
Ken, and all the others, I'd love to see some pictures of what was going on. I was getting busy with a lot of the cooking and didn't get a good chance to appreciate everything. Especially the treasure trove of stuff that you guys brought up with you.
"And I'd like to thank Buckie for inspiring me to make some PB&J bacon wrapped turds. 8)"
You bet !!!!
Just glad they went fast & nothing else happened.....I've almost had fistfights over some versions of 'Turds............ :o
Great show you all put on....mass grillfellas, designated eaters, tons of GREAT looking food, swingin' lookin' display of cookers.....like the photo of the gang around the 18 Lymee, with another 18 Greenie in front !!!
Dam fast on the Meat rakes there Jo !!!!
Honey, bacon, BBQ rocks !!!!!
It was more than just the PB&J Buckie. I also took some of your tips re fillings. Some of them had rib meat instead of a little smokie. And rather than using bacon for all of them, I got some smoked Speck with the right size and had the deli slice it nice and thin and I think that worked so much better than a thick slice of bacon. And just on a whim when I ran out of the bacon, I wrapped the last few in corned beef. I never heard any bad reports, so I'm guessing they were enjoyed as much as the others were.
As I said earlier, I had an absolute blast. And I would do it all again in a heartbeat, irrespective of the nerves and anxiousness before hand.
Oh, you bet !!!
An array is always a good thing !!!
Just remember the feeling at the END next time & the pre-show nerves will reduce considerably !!!!
Wow!! What a day I had a ball as we all did
All the food was sensational
My personal favourite were these from member Hot Tuna
Hopefully he will post an explanation because these were award winners

Big thanks to glrasmussen for the B code SJ
I ended up coming home with a SS performer, 18 Green OTG , Blue OTG , B code SJ ,electric meat slicer and a NIB GA hot plate
I'm still working out how I'm going to slide them past the missus
Thanks to Jaycee for the Weber gear he organised for all
I forgot to mention the desserts, not sure what they are called but they were amazing!!!

The jumbo sized peach cobbler was awesome too, but forgot to get a pic
Wow and bloody freakin fantastic.
The food, oh the food looks grand guys, and BQed to perfection....
Top work jo, and the rest of yas,,,, nicely done.
Shayne
Boy its been some time since I visited you all here...
Joe once again a big thank you for putting on a fantastic spread
Thanks to all you WKC guys it was good to meet some like minded meatheads, over a great feed and a few beers
Thanks Hogsy for the tag. Golly`s chicken and your Pork lion was awesome! I want the recipe for this please!
Even after stuffing my face all day with all the great food, once i arrived home cleaned up, about 8pm I was dreaming of some of Joes pulled pork!
I call them boneless baby back country style ribs (not my name).
I wrapped most in bacon but wanted to try a few wrapped in prosciutto, these where the first off the grill and the ones you guys all tried. I really liked how they turned out with the prosciutto. Next ill try some with spec
Really easy to make, I just got my butcher to cut me 8 long stripes off the back of the top ribs (baby backs) with some loin, this gives you a nice strip with some dark meat, light meat and some fat. The then halved these giving me 16 6inch long... I rubbed these and let them rest for one hour before I wrapped them in bacon/prosciutto the night before. On the day I smoked them with Mulberry wood until they hit 145 internal.
Cant wait for the next one!
Dan
Hottuna those sound amazing - thanks for sharing, these copied! ;)
Some awesome grills in those photos! Grey and Blue GA and is that the orig box from the B-Code joe? Sweet!
Wow - you guys rock! Fantastic get together. I am sure there were lots of laughs in addition the the amazing food and kettle display.
Jocool - I could not help but notice you made the PB&J turds with "Sanitarium" brand PB. Of course in the US, "Sanitarium" is the place that institutionalize the mentally ill, meaning those were "crazy" turds that you made :)
Thanks for sharing the event with us.
Winz
And as long as "Sanitarium" and "Weberitis" are not used in the same sentence, I think we're good. ;D
Think that just means the PB is nutty ;)
Looks like a great time!
Thanks for sharing guys. Looks like a wonderful time was had.
Great get together! Glad the SJ made it safely down under Hogsy!
I'm glad you guys enjoyed the pictures.
What a great cookup. Looks like you guys had a fine time. Bet it was nice to be around people who also have Weberitis....I am thinking it would make one not feel not so isolated?
That blue Go Anywhere is something I could find a good home for, never seen a blue one. I'd be walking around babbling, "it's blue, it's blue", over and over. Are there any full photos of that grill on the board here? Love to see it out of the box and if there is a really good one I would save it to my folder of shots to use as desktop photos. I like blue....black, red, lime, yellow and brown too.

Good show! I really like the matching accessories. :)
Looks like a great time with lots of food guys! It's nice to put a face with the names!
