Okey doke....again i'm sorry for letting this all linger more than 3 weeks! I've had alot going one in my life. Hopefully i touch on everyone's points and i'l be updating the 1st sticky post with menu and planning info. For some reason the "quote" and "multi-quote" features are messing up for me right now so i had to keep track of comments in a separate file.
@nepas
looking forward to the sausage and glad you can make it this year!!
@bobcats110
Keith (
@JckDanls 07) makes these great
charcoal chimney stands! Are you planning on coming to the Gathering?
@BigShea
i was in Broward for 8 years and started this during that time, more people where a little more north at the time so we started at one place and evolved from there. I’m currently in North Florida with the farthest drive of Florida folks. You’re still welcome to join!
@TripleQ
Some people camp in tents, some people own/rent/borrow RV’s, and some are one-dayers. We’ve never had hotel-ers but everyone loves some AC and Showers! If you look at the previous page
@JckDanls 07 has posted some of the open spots if you want to get one of them for yourself. We also have plenty of camping room on some of the tent and TV rentals we can all share! We have all shared space pretty well in the past!
By the way shower and bathroom facilities at Highland Hammock are pretty nice!
@SmokinAl Brisket Chili sounds amazing!!!
Generally on Saturday is our "big meal day"...so bring whatever you want for that. Any volunteers for Breakfast's Friday, Saturday and Sunday? I'm not a big breakfast person but i can contribute foods for those meals :)
Extracurricular Activities
In the past we have done
sausage and snack stick making. In my opinion its been a love hate relationship with that due to time and resources but at the end of the weekend everyone is happy with the end product. Ill donate 4 butts for it if the group wants to do it.
Games - I will have cornhole, Keith generally brings cornhole and ring toss. If anyone has any others they want to bring like horseshoes, poker, ect let us know!
I'm going to do a demo on using the A-Maze-N cold smokers that forum member
@TJohnson makes and always graciously donates to our Gathering! We'll also be giving away the smokers he's given us for the demo after! I believe Jeramy (
@jarjarchef) has some ideas for cooking demos as well. He and I need to meet up about this soon.
Menus! Check page one at the top!
I'l be checking this thread atleast a couple times a week for now on. Sorry for any lack of momentum i've caused. We are all going to have a great time!
