Any Interest In A NC Gathering?

solaryellow · Nov 19, 2011

Having attended the N FL gathering, I can tell you these things are a bunch of fun. Between all the personalities and recipes you can't go wrong. There are enough of us North Cackalackians that we should plan our own gathering. I am willing to volunteer my 500 gal RF for the cause. Unfortunately, I live in a very strict HOA and can't hold it at my place.

Hey everyone,

I just joined the forum today, after receiving a resounding reccomendation from NEPAS. I attended his Smoke Out in PA last summer and had a ball. I intend to join him again now that he has moved to Savannah.

I live in Morganton, right off I-40. I would be interested in attending any NC-related function like this. What do you think would be the format? Any ideas about when you might want to schedule it?

I am open for the most part. Late September - early November of any year are bad for me. We also need someone willing to host us on their land for a weekend or we could do like the S FL guys did and look into a group campsite.

Hi Art

Welcome to the SMF

We'd love to have you Nepas. Having a yankee ain't a problem. I grew up in CT. Or should I say raised. I haven't grown up yet.

Count me in! I do travel for work a lot, so it will probably be best for me to just sit back and wait to see where and when this epic event will take place and hope that I can attend. I think the campground thing sounds fantastic. Plus it will give time to plan during the winter while we wait for things to warm up. I thing April or May would probably be good months.

Springtime would be great. Gives us time to brew some beer.

Hey Adam..... First off I would like to welcome you to SMF. These gatherings are awesome and I hope you can make it.......

How about swinging over to roll call and introducing yourself so we can give you a proper welcome and don't forget to fill out your profile

Happy smoking

My wife suggested I offer up my place for it. I have about an acre in the backyard, an extra bathroom and a driveway that could accomodate a few smokers. Here's a pic.

I think that would work great Scott. Based on history, the first gathering of any kind tends to be a little smaller until it gets a reputation. If you are willing to host it I am willing to work with you to organize it.

alelover · Nov 24, 2011

I should be able to handle 20-30 people pretty easily. I usually have around 30 on New Years Eve with at least ten sleeping in various places. I think it's feasible.

alelover · Nov 25, 2011

We can definitely organize something. I think sometime in April would be perfect.

The end of April would be best. I know a few of us are heading to Jerry's at the beginning of the month.

Depending on where it is I would be more than happy to make the drive from Virginia. However, due to my work and school schedule I will most likely not be able to attend if it were held on a weekday.

alelover · Nov 26, 2011

We can have it in May if April is too busy. Don't matter to me.

End of April or early May sounds good to me. Anyone have a conflict with that timeframe?

Not right now. I am in the process of filling out my 2012 calendar. Would love to attend.
