Getting closer. Forecast shows good weather for the weekend, temps around 70,  partly cloudy, light winds. Let's show those left-coasters and Chi-town hustlers how it's done! Look for set-up previews beginning mid-week.

Can't wait. I'll be bringing a table top gas happy cooker if anyone is interested.

Let's show those left-coasters and Chi-town hustlers how it's done!

I hope you have a fantastic meet up!

With regard to showing the left-coasters how its done, I think once the photos go up you will see that we set the bar pretty high....

Here's a list of those who are planning to attend so far. I know some are tentative, or may be here later in the day. Just want to be sure I have everyone accounted for. If you are not on this list, and plan to be here, send me a note and I'll get you the address.

I am making pulled pork, kebabs, potato salad, cole slaw, and will have water, lemonade, ice tea, Old Bay chips, plates and utensils, and maybe a few other things. We could use beans, deserts, ABTs, Moinks, etc, chips, and whatever you like for you and whoever you bring. I have badmitton, horseshoes, and a couple open fields for whiffle ball, frisbee or ?

I have a few 22s, a 26, an 18, a couple Performers, a SJP, a fire pit, and maybe more. We'll fire them all up. There will be room for sale items, trade items, show & shine, and ?. Door prizes are accumulating!

Bring a chair for yourself just in case. I have a bunch, but we may run out. We have a hot tub if anyone is interested in taking a dip, but unlike the OZies, we will not be grilling in it.

See you Saturday!

I'm still figuring out if it will be just me, or my wife & son.

I'm so excited for this! I'm going to try and smoke some pretzels this week so I'll bring them. I'll also bring a couple six packs along. Don't know exactly what time I'll be there unfortunately.

[OoPEZoO]

I could whip up a batch of beans for the group.  Do we have a rough head count (including kids and/or SOs)?  Also, do we have an estimated chow time?

I guess my real question is if I should cook them ahead of time and just bring them along, or should I plan to just drop them on a grill when I get there?

I'm flying solo and plan to bring my Yellow MBH to cook on.  I'll also bring a case of frosty beverages that I'll be willing to share.

[MartyG]

I'm guessing chow time will begin around 1, and continue non-stop throughout the day.    Your call as to partial/pre-cook or not. Whatever works for you should be fine. Headcount is looking like 20 or so, including "others". Might be a few on either side of that. I don't think lack of food/drink will be a problem. Might be a good idea to bring a few storage containers for leftovers and "samples"

Wow, Marty this sounds like it will be an amazing meet!

[MartyG]

Pre-staging today. Plenty to perve here, with a measure of mystery. Pork shoulder goes on later tomorrow. Jucy Lucys on the Performer tonight as a warm up.

Tick, tick, tick...

Good times coming up, excited to see photos Marty. Enjoy!!

[Peaspurple]

Marty. I'll bring apple pie baked beans and my wife is making Waldorf salad. I'll be doing a meat too, just not sure what yet.
