I too would be a Fri noon to after clean up Sunday. Not sure what l want to make. Anybody or families have any allergies or items you would not eat, even if paid?...JJ
 
My son is serverly allergic ( contact allergic ) to peanuts.

Also eggs but that isn't as bad.

Thanks JJ, didn't think about that.
 
Sorry to hear that Adam. Peanut Butter was a kid staple with Hot Dogs and Chicken Fingers around here. I still eat a PBJ or Peanut Butter and Banana Wrap twice a week for breakfast...JJ
 
We found a product called wowbutter.   Tastes just like peanut butter. 
 
I'd most likely be a Friday noon to evening depending on how the family wishes to travel, together or separately.

No allergies in my family.

As for a menu or wishes, I just got into smoking a year ago. I've only made chicken, butts, ribs, and beans.

My family is down to eat anything and everything.
 
OK, I have set the date.

Oct 6-8.

By that time I should have all the field work done, just need to feed the cows.  The barn is next to the site.

If its cold at night the house is there, just need to turn on the electric heat.
 
Talked to Bev. She is excited to meet the guys l spend so much time with. I told her that a few are camping on the property. Bev said she don't mind " Roughing it..." Of course roughing it means an economy motel with no roomservice.[emoji]128512[/emoji]...JJ
 
Thats great JJ. State College is the closest here that would have a decent place to stay
 
Thanks again for sponsoring this event and offering accomodations. Date is marked on the calendar and locked in...JJ
 
I just hope it all works out and everyone has a good time.
 
I see this being a great time. All the other gathering are raved about and look like a ton of fun with great food. What are the plans for a rainy weekend?...JJ
 
I too would be a Fri noon to after clean up Sunday. Not sure what l want to make. Anybody or families have any allergies or items you would not eat, even if paid?...JJ
  Good question JJ I too have a food allergy it seems to collect around my waist.

Here we go dates are great for me also have wife planing on coming and that's not always things she will down not as people friendly to new people as I am. Its has to be a great time because no doubt great food will abound and good company for sure.

I was planing for Friday maybe I would bring some deer chili (spicy or mild you tell me) we need kind of to bring Friday meal for lack of time to cook something.

Need some kind of sign up sheet as to who is coming looks right now like 5 maybe or 6 plus family.

Adam, JJ, Peachy, Warren and Big1 maybe Viaviian.

5 to 6 months to finish planing.

Happy now Adam?

I'm closer than l thought! Just 1 1/2 hours North. Not sure how these things work? Pick a couple of meals to cook? Make something for every meal? To not burn out taste buds, l think a mix of smoked, grilled and maybe sauteed, simmered or baked dishes, will mix it up and keep things interesting. That and we don't have to each bring a smoker. I don't currently own a bunch of outdoor cooking equipment, gave away stuff when we moved to an apartment and could not have charcoal or propane cookers. I just have my MES and a tiny Weber Go Anywhere Grill. Maybe a list of what we have to work with would help the planning. Is there any technique you guys want to see or type of food you would like to try? Good thing this gathering is not next week! Lots to figure out...JJ

C farmer says he has 4 smokers not sure what kind though. I have burners I can bring a camp chief 2 burner a larger burner like for turkey fryer (2) an I have assortment of 10 to 20 qt pots I can being.

Take a look at some of the other gatherings for some great ideas S FL, NC, and N FL

When we get closer and have a count I plan on bringing paper plates and plastic ware for all maybe disposable cups also.

Other things needed would be trash bags maybe ice and condiments.

anyone please feel free to add to the list.

I have a camp stove/ griddle with 3 gas burners I can bring also have a 275 gallon fuel tank grill/smoker and a 500 gallon propane tank smoker both are on wheels so I could bring one of those if needed.
Out of the people that have showed interest so far I think I am the closest to Adam so if you need any help getting ready or if we want to do a SAMS club run for supplies I can help however needed.
Is it easier for everyone to bring supplies with them or should we just make a list of what we need and do a shopping run then everyone chip in to cover the cost?
Pizza on the grill would be an easy meal for Friday evening if we wanted something that didn't take a lot of time to get ready.
Personally I'm hoping Adam will share some of his less common cure/smokes with us.
 
I think once we get closer or even now we can make a list of needed items and divide up and bring them when we come. Like I stated above I will bring paper plates and plastic ware and cups.

If anyone has something that they are going to bring to smoke or grill or whatever to cook they should bring everything they need to do so such as spices rubs etc.

My wife is planing one dessert for sure.

It would be fun to make something as group such sausage or something ( we could use for breakfast).
