2017 Smokers Weekend

[bigsoftmoose]

I'm interested but i will have to say maybe at the moment as we are working two team members down at the moment (I'm the team leader)  and its on the insane side of batshit crazy...  As things stand i have no idea whether i'll be free or not.

Gutted!!!

Last year (our first) was such a phenomenal weekend!

Not just the weather, the amazing campsite and the company.... but personally, I learnt so much by chatting to others about smoking.

This wasn't just talking to the 'experts' but talking to everyone, as all experience (good AND bad!) is always a great thing, as you can learn from other peoples issues.

Can't make this year, I have some heave work stints around that time.

Anyone who is thinking if they should go or not... JUST GO.

Hi Jim, sorry to hear that you can not make the weekend. We will have a beer for you!

 

[tumpy]

I plan to come along, I want to master a Brisket!

[smokin monkey]

HI Tumpy, Brisket will definitely be on the menu.

 

[wade]

Hi Tumpy. Do you want to cook it yourself or assist with one being cooked?

 

[tumpy]

Hi Wade,  think I would like to assist.

Thanks

I've had a shift change and am off on the Saturday although daughter's in Kent and wife is working, so might be able to pop along al on my own on the Saturday ....., would I need to bring anything ?

 

[smokin monkey]

Hi Martyn, would be great to see you. All depends on what time you are arriving, might be too late to Low and Slow cook something, so turn up and enjoy!

 

[wade]

Less than a week to go :-)

If you are planning on coming to the weekend in Lincoln please take a look at this thread. If you were thinking of coming but had not yet made up your mind - it is not too late. It would be great to see you there

On the way back down to Kent following the smoking weekend and what a fab weekend it was, brilliant to see so many smokers on the go and chatting to people with more experience of smoking than myself as a beginner and of course the amazing feast yesterday evening!

So glad I came along and will definitely be back next year!

I'll sort out and upload photos when I'm home and get a minute

Thanks to all involved with the organisation and participation of the weekend! [emoji]9786[/emoji]

Glad you enjoyed the Pulled Pork!

Thanks for sharing the photos!

 

[wade]

Great photos Scott, 

Did you manage to get any of the hoards while the food was being eaten too? We had a good turn out of members and family but also a great response from the camp site who could not resist the lure of free food...

 

[valve90210]

Unfortunately i didn't get any of the horde, I was too concerned with trying all the amazing food (and enjoying the slight glow of an afternoon of cider drinking), next year I will endeavour to do better at that point of the proceedings....

Great photos thanks for sharing roll on 2018
