2014 Michigan Get Together ( July 19 2014 )

[hillbillyrkstr]

I buy all my pellets from todd, and I use the chunks from the bags I find at the local stores. A buddy of mine went to a local apple
Orchard last year and got a bunch of apple wood on the cheap. I honestly didn't even think about the chemicals though.... Good call on that Robb.


If you have any suggestions in all ears.

 

[kingfishcam]

Hey Robb. I use pellets and dust from amazenproducts here on the site. I do have a local wood supplier right around the corner though and he has apple, cherry, hickory and maybe a few others. I can have some available for the gathering if anyone is looking to purchase.

and yes, busy as hell getting the yard ready! Lots to do here.

Awesome. .that would be cool. . Wish something I could help with. .
Did you get a handle on all the food?

 

[kingfishcam]

Not quite yet but all the food will come together. I have a few friends and family that will fill in some holes on side dishes. A trip to costco for plates and utensils and we will be in good shape.

We on the home stretch now. I have a house full all this week with 4th parties this weekend and family reunion on the 12th. Been squeezing some walleye fishing in too. Sorry, it is not possible to save walleye longer than a day around here..

no fatty practice here. I plan to win right out if the gate!!!!

 

[humdinger]

So now I have a conundrum. My dear aunt decided to schedule my grandmothers 80th Birthday party on the same day as our gathering. We haven't been given a firm time yet, but I may be pulling double duty that day. As of right now I may come to the gathering early and stay til 3 or 4pm. We'll see once I know more about the timing of things.

 

[handymanstan]

Sorry to here about the conundrum Kurt, You can bring Grandma to the gathering and we will all sing happy birthday to her.

Seasonedlazyman sent me a PM and will be coming and said he will bring his smoker if it's ready.

@fpmich Since you two are going to be judges how hot can you take it?  Should we keep the spice down?  I was planing on making two fatties with one mild and one Sriracha hot. 

Only 17 days left until

Yummy looking chow right there!

We made hillbilly dinner right on the campfire last night. Cabbage bowl full of steak, potato, onion, garlic, green peppers and carrots. Season to taste, wrap in foil and straight in the campfire fr about 30 minutes. Kids loved it.

I don't mind some heat, but don't slip in any Habanero, or Ghost peppers on me.  LOL
