First and foremost, it was an an incredible day, the weather was perfect. A huge thank you to everyone who made the journey to show up. There was people from all over, and it was very humbling that so many people were willing to make the effort to come to my house....I had a brief thought about 11:30 in my mind I thought what if no one shows up? Then five min later Dan from NY came through the door and the day was off to the races....
Here is the night before as I was setting up coolers and getting things ready.....
Here is the yard about a half an hour before anyone showed up....one one side of the yard was the lookers
Wood Dale Row
MBH and misc late models
The other side of the yard were the cookers, I gave all these the nod for the day that they would be in the line up and they would be in action.....
After I got all this set up, I have to admit I thought holy shit I have a lot of grills in the yard.....So I started to think I need to make some deals to get some of these out of here. This is getting out of control...
So on to the festivities. There will be a lot of people with a lot more pics, but here are a few to get a taste....
Jeff arrived with a giant van load of museum pieces
Here are some of the grills in action
@Jeff in the foreground with his wife Jean cooking his signature lollypops on the round top 26",

@ctwhyme.
@ctwhyme was cooking stuffed mushrooms on the sinister Darth Vader 18......
Of course
@einrej brought the now legendary flat top.
I can't thank everyone enough. From the guys who lived right down the street to those who came from far and wide. Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska, New york. If I forgot a state please chime in and remind me. Thank you so much for making it a great time, and help making this a bigger event than last year. It's nice to see it grow.... It's the people who make it a great time. I met new people and old friends. The food and the company was second to none.......
