OK guys, time to get serious about another meetup out here. When and where? I can't do it the last two weeks in July, or the week of Labor Day, but don't let me stop you. How does the 8th or 15th of July look for everyone?
@Peaspurple @dwnthehatch @mike.stavlund @wyd @Tim in PA @freshme4t @OoPEZoO
@Neil_VT00 @OGlenn
@Bman I know I'm missing a bunch. Help me fill in the blanks!
Marty
GRATE IDEA!!
Either of those dates could work for me, with a preference for July 8.
And the great
@teerhardy is moving back to NoVA in a month! Just in time to get him back in the Mid-Atlantic fold.
July 8 would work best for me. Can't wait

That would work for me too - let's lock it in.
@dwnthehatch can you let us know more about that location you scoped out? If all else fails I can host at my place again, but I know that's a hike for some at the outer reaches of our area.
@eLLWOODgGLEN I missed you on the first post, I think I had the wrong "glen"...
I'd love to attend and will try to make it work. We have a baby due in late July so who knows what might happen between now and then.
Some other local guys:
@jaynik @bryanw21157 @Filibuster @YardBurner
I should be able to make the 8th work. I can bring my MBH and any of my other kettles, maybe even my SJ as a sear station.

Great. I plan to show off my Mini MT and Galley Que. One or both will get hot. I'll do bacon wrapped crab balls. Somehow.
I wish I could make it out that way but it's my daughters 2nd birthday party that day. I'm sure you will have a blast. Maybe next time.

July 8th for the mid-Atlantic meet-up... same day as the Chicago meet-up. Nice!
I'm down for a meetup. Sadly I sold my collection. I can reserve the pavilion on the Chesapeake bay in my neighborhood. My only concern is the beach traffic for everyone to get over here. It can be brutal.
Thanks Troy - that pavilion looked perfect. Just need to plan ahead for traffic, but I'm open to other ideas too. (Just responded to your PM by the way.)
Just let me know what is preferred for me to cook, of there are no suggestions then ribs and beans it is.

Sounds good to me. I'll work up a smoked potato salad to accompany the crab balls.
Thanks for thinking of me despite my absence around here. My family and I will actually be down in Chesapeake Beach visiting my best friend so I'll have to decline.
Hey Tim - nice to see you pop in. I'm going down to Chesapeake Beach for the first time myself in a few weeks. Looks nice. How long will it take your Amish buggy to get down there?
My buggy is Japanese and will only take about 2.5-3 hours. lol
@56MPG , do we have a location for this yet? I thought I saw reference to a park or something.
Rearranging schedule to see if I can drag my ass across the bridge too.
More specifics on location would be grate.
-Rob
@dwnthehatch knows the place. Troy - did you reserve the pavilion? If so, let us know the address. Otherwise we'll come up with a plan B.
I'm still waiting on the HOA. I requested it but have heard nothing. I'll email them again in a few minutes.
700 Broadcreek Dr, Stevensville, MD 21666 for those trying to calculate distance.
38.972324, -76.338996
That's not bad at all.
A very good friend used to
run the Queen Anne Marina.
Bought a lot of Humphries lump
from her. They had a bull roast every
weekend in the Summer and bought
it by the truck full.
Stll working on my schedule.
(that's spelled b e g g I n g)
Bad news, The HOA called me this morning. Its booked every weekend thru September. Sorry guys.
What's the secondary location?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
That's a shame.
Can't say that I'll be missing the beach traffic though.
My plan was to hit the bridge about midnight and
sleep in the truck.
BTW. I'm in.
First timer so open to suggestions.
Plan B is my home, we've done it there before, so unless anyone else has an alternate, you are welcome. Anytime from 11am on is fine with me and my wife. We live in Stewartstown PA if you need to map it. I'll give attendees the exact address via PM when you commit. I have an open car port we can use in case of rain, and I have plenty of grills if you want to travel light. I'll do pulled pork overnight, bacon wrapped crab balls, and smoked potato salad.
Looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces.
Marty
I'm in too. I thought I'd be dragging my kids along, but it turns out my wife is home that day. Volunteer children only. ;-)
I'd vote for something mid-day, in any case. We have some evening stuff I need to be back for.
Thanks for taking a swing at the venue,
@dwnthehatch . I appreciate it! No apologies necessary.
Much better than fightin' the bridge.
A little under an hour and a half from me.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. I'm in for sure.
Can I get a headcount? I'm gone this weekend, and the 8th is the following Saturday, so need to plan just a little. Who's coming? Zipcode is 17363. I'll PM the address to everyone who raises their hand. C'mon guys & gals, this is the Summer of WKC! And you get to meet Marianne!

@teerhardy Who did I miss?
Marty I hate to miss it. Were are up in PEI Canada that weekend. I wish I could be there.
Thanks for the tag Marty. I've been kinda MIA for a while. Still grilling like a damn fool though. I could make that work. Guess I should start figuring out a recipe. I'll most likely be flying solo. Wifey doesn't share the grilling passion haha
I'm in. Nice easy drive for me.
Shrewsbury is a regular stop for us.
I'll be a solo.

Do any MidAtlantic crew members have any need of some SSP parts? I parted out a toasted green last summer, and have stuff to share if anyone is interested:
--charcoal bin
--bottom rack
--both parts of the table
--that metal piece that acts as the hinge on the table
I'll bring them along if anyone gives a shout.
@teerhardy Shoot me an email at martinpgierke at gmail dot com and I'll send the address. Your PM mailbox is full...
Oh, and I also have one of the long square tubes that ties the base together down by the wheels.
I have a few things to trade or sell too. Anyone need the makings of a 18.5" OTG midget? I have the parts for that - all NOS except the lid, which needs to be cleaned. Also will have a once-used new model MT up for grabs, and a black SSP with new tank, burner/regulator. My SIL may have a few other grills for sale here if he can get it together. Will also have a few door prizes. Looking forward to it.
Anyone interested in a Woodard?
A little directional info for Saturday. When you get onto Shaw Road from PA851 heading East, coming up a small hill and across a small creek, it's a gravel road on the left. Don't be alarmed, even if you hear dueling banjos. :o We're the second driveway on the right, at the second stream crossing just past a fenced pasture. Here's your sign:
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4238/35715228005_f116c331df_c.jpg)
You can't see our house from the road - it's up a steep winding driveway, through a gate marked with a PRIVATE sign. When you get to the top, you'll see civilization again, and can breath a sigh of relief. You'll probably park in a fenced pasture at the top of the drive - someone can point you to it - but you can stop and unload at the carport if you like. I'll have water here, and some other random beverages, but bring whatever you like. Anytime after 11am works or me. Need to wrap it up around sunset.
Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, and meeting some new grillfellas, SOs, kids, etc. PM me if you need more details.

Man, I wish I would have paid closer attention to the WKC forums and found this earlier. I'd have liked to meet up with some like-minded people and learn a bit. :) - Maybe next time.
I'm halfway down the eastern shore between the bridge and OC.
Me too...I am in Hampton, VA.
It's not too late if you guys want to make the trek to PA on Saturday. PM me and I'll give you the address.
Marty
I really wish I could make it
@56MPG but it is my daughters 2nd birthday party. I am sure you guys will all have a blast!
Thanks again for the invite, Marty. I'll be down in Maryland this weekend. Hopefully I can catch the next one.
For those on the fence, do it!!
So, did I read this right? We are going to have the Chicago and the mid Atlantic meetups on the same day?

Sure looks like it! Are we going to have a Facebook live face-off (if there is such a thing) streaming both meet ups on Facebook WKC simultaneously? The site should be hopping Saturday as well.
Holy Grail: 1960s Glen Blue 22 aka The Imperial.
Hey now, what are you Chicago boys doing in this thread? We keep a low profile out East. No face-offs, throwdowns or streaming videos. Not sure we are up to speed with all the technology to do anything live other than cook great food on old grills. I drive enough traffic during my commute to work, I don't need to do that on my day off!
Some of us may check in, maybe post a pic or two. Don't confuse us with the "other" meetup, and whatever you do don't distract
@mike.stavlund while he's cooking the salmon!
Anyone have the side table hardware and willing to sell or trade? Or need an excellent condition wood surface to complete their setup?
Let me know. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170706/69ab5d6fcbc83fae26acc6f1f62fe60b.jpg)

If I'm smoking on
@56MPG 's sweet flat top 26, then the salmon will cook itself. I'll be over drooling on his 'barn find' '97 Performer.
I'll be there any I'm bringing some fancied up grilled corn on the cobb.

Really good time today in PA today - great group of expert cookers made for an active meetup. We had a nice selection of beautiful lookers - but the focus was cooking, and it that department we knocked it out of the park. My camera was never where I was when a good shot popped up, so not a lot of photos this time. A group of unexpected hungry people showed up to make it interesting, but there was plenty of food for everyone. I did pulled pork, smoked cole slaw and smoked potato salad. Mike Stavlund reprised his excellent salmon, topped only by some amazing steelhead and hasselback potatoes. Teerhardy pulled off some equally amazing corn, Yardburner took on some professional level chicken and pork bites that were out of this world, topped with a great onion jam. EllwoodGlen brought up the rear with some fine ribs and terrific beans. Add to that some sausages and dogs by SIL Justin and you can imagine how good it was. I've been to three Chicago summer meetups, and three in the Mid Atlantic. Every one has been better than the one before. Fun way to spend a summer day. (BTW - someone forgot a camp chair, and Mike, I have your banner.)

Sorry I missed it. Looks like a great time was had!
Congrats on the awesome looking meetup and kudos to
@56MPG for hosting!
Big thanks to
@Cellar2ful for arranging production of the banners you've seen now at three meetups this Summer - coast to coast! He did the heavy lifting to get something done that has been on my to-do list for five years - like a lot of other things. Made our meetup even more photogenic I must say, and the classic red logo is still my favorite.
Looks like a great time guys, food looks delish. These meet ups just keep getting bigger and better. Big thumbs up to Marty for hosting.
What Marty failed to mention is that it was his graphic artwork depicted in the banners.
Looks like a blast guys, nice work!!!

Thanks again for hosting, Marty! (and family). It was a ton of fun, and y'all, Marty's 'barn find' '97 Performer is a TIME MACHINE. Incredible.
Sorry I missed it. We ended up adjusting our vacation a few days and didn't get home until Saturday afternoon. We were in no mans land VA with no Wifi or Cell phone signals......felt like a caveman haha
The food all looked great
We'll catch you next time. I love no-signal vacations!
Looks like a great time. I wish I could have made it. I had been working on a grill restore to bring along, but just couldn't make it happen.
I'm already looking forward to next year's meetup.

Man I missed a good one. I didn't have plans and then family stuff popped up and I couldn't make it. It is killing me to see what I missed and just hanging out with everyone. Wow did I miss a good one for sure. Food looked outstanding as always. Great job to all the WKC guys at the meet.
Looks like you had a great time! It would have been a 3-4 hour drive for me to get there (I was already tied down with work for the weekend). I'd love to make one of these sometime!
