Alright its official biznitches.
@argentflame is driving all the way from NorCal just to cook us up some lumpia and lechon!
I'll be smoking my famous "there's gotta be crack in it or something" pulled pork panty remover.
Location is not quite decided, as it depends on who and how many are coming.
I don't recall all the locals because I'm mentally challenged lately, so please tag or forward this thread to the ones you know of.
@Jason Beach @jamesnomore (if you don't make this one, i'm going to punch you in the nuggets)

February in Palm Springs might be doable for me as well, keep us informed.

Well Troy, I'm honored to be invited to the meetup, but January 3rd is the expected due date of my baby girl. Hmmm, decisions, decisions! :-\ Think my wife would be pissed if I skyped from the meetup to the delivery room? We could all have cigars once the baby comes like the good ol' days. OK, maybe not a good idea unless I want to change my name to No Nutz Karl after the damage my wife would inflict on me.
If I can make it, I will, but I obviously can't make any promises.
Thanks again for the invite!

You can't have her hold off for a few days or something?
Just kidding of course. You've got a pretty good excuse ;)
Don't be surprised if I kidnap that blue MBH while you're expanding your family :P
Congrats btw!
That would be awesome guys, will let you know once I have some dates (fairly soon!)
I don't see anything on the calendar to prevent me from attending this one. Lookin forward to it!
I will be away for New Years, but if those plans change I'm in.

Thanks for the congrats. Maybe I can let you "babysit" my blue MBH for the meetup!
bump.
anyone still in for tomorrow?
Alvin is here.
Let me know today and I will establish a location.
I'm in but would prefer to keep my drive as close to an hour as possible. even though it's 1.5 hours Dana Point would be doable, I like it there and could be most central depending on which members actually make it. Unless of course Alvin wants to see San Diego which is infinitely better than any where in the OC :)>
If I can shift around my obligations for the weekend, I can probably join you guys. When and where?
Dana point.
Doheney state park maybe?
Doheny sounds great!
I'd like to get there 10ish...start a fatty and chill!!! What's your plan?
I can probably do that. I'll have to be a little flexible though, wife has a migraine and we have a new puppy at home that is pissing on everything
Let me know where you guys are going to be at in Doheney since my baby daughter has already arrived and I may be able to sneak away for a bit! Since I live about a mile away you couldn't have made it any easier on me! Just need to make sure all is good with the wife and new daughter.
I was thinking the main shelter area. I've only been a few times though so I'm not sure what the options are.
Can someone message fedex and lemisfits? I'm mobile at the moment :(

Any final details on this? I'm trying to free up my afternoon.

Did you guys meet up, just got back from Frisco.
So, how did the meetup go? Will there be more pics and a write up Troy?
If that is the location it looks pretty sweet with lots of potential for interacting with people cruising by.
No pics of the antics? How do we know if this even happened?
@Troy @argentflame both have more pictures and need to post ;)
It was just 4 of use, I only brought the mini to make my fatty. A few kettles and a dreamy performer were swapped. Had a nice day chillin at a great spot.

And since I had leftover fatty I made pizza the next day, one of my best ever.

I'm telling you guys, that fatty was one of the best I've ever tasted.

I was going to ask for this, it looks ridiculously good! Is the white ring all cheese?!
Fantastic looking fattie
@jamesnomore pls share :D
@SixZeroFour the white ring on the pizza is actually the mozzarella melting through. The original fatty had goat cheese in that space, much of which melted out. There are pictures that either
@Troy or
@argentflame have of the fatty cut fresh. I'm tweaking the recipe and will be incorporating a thicker cheese along with the goat to try and replicate that effect.
Hands down this is the best fattie I have ever tasted. My 6+ hour drive to Socal was well worth it. It was with great pleasure to have finally met
@Troy @jamesnomore and
@Jason BeachWe also had tritip. I got a tutorial from Troy on how to slice it properly. The last one I sliced some of the cuts are stringy.
Thanks
@Troy for holding this sweet red MT for the last 8 months. I get to cook the tritip on this kettle.
I showed up kinda late, but got there with plenty of time to have a slice of the fatty...very tasty! It was great to meet the guys that were there and look forward to the next one!
@Troy I added the rest of the pics.
Here is the fattie ready to cool down before slicing.

Troy ended up taking home 3 kettles at the end of the day.

I've been trying to extract them from the text messages you sent me, but the images keep coming out small and low quality :)
