A couple of Questions....What are we going to do for wood? Everybody who can bring some wood, bring some?
What are we going to need for smokers? Just something to think about.

I will have alot of oak cut my then. Possible hickory, and maple.
 
Ok, so we don't need any wood other than special stuff to bring for ourselves?

What about wood for a self contained fire pit?
Shouldn't, I hope to have a bunch cut buy then.

We have a bunch of dead oak here on the farm.

Fire pit, that's a issue.  I don't want a dead spot in the grass from the fire.  Would have to be on the driveway and make sure all the ash is cleaned up .I don't own the house or farm yet, its still my dads. I want to leave it like we was never there.
 
Yup the way we found it!! It would be nice to have fire ring but will definitely leave a burn spot. We will also have to be careful with smokers dropping ash on the ground.

I'd maybe make cinder block fire pit somewhere.  It'd be worth it to invest in a some blocks because you can disassemble it when done and reuse it.

I think you missed the point he doesn't want any burn spots and even on the driveway the clean up of a burn is no fun. Even these things you buy for fire pits at like Walmart on legs will leave a burn spot. C Farmer is nice enough to furnish a place to hold a gathering and we should be nice enough respect his property.

I got no problem sitting around the glow of a Coleman Lantern or toasting Marshmallows over the dying embers of a Weber Kettle...JJ

No  I understand the point.     My point is if you all want a fire then you can make a cheap pit that will prevent burns and can be taken apart after 3 days of fun.    
 
I understand what you're saying. That's what I meant by a self contained fire pit. It's one of those junk ones from Lowe's so it won't be on the ground. I wouldn't do that.

By October the field by the barn should be done producing and we can have a fire there.  Its maybe 50 yards from the house.
 
Take a look at the photos from NC gathering everything looked just plain and simple some smoked items and some salads looks like a great time.

Bumping this up for new people joining.
 
Just thought I'd pipe in and mention my wife and I are trying to keep an open schedule for this event.  We can't say definitely yes this early in the game, but we are very interested at the idea.  I don't own a truck unfortunately, so I can't likely drag my camp chef pooper up with me, unless someone with room to haul will be passing near me on the way to and from the event, in which case I'd be glad to include some gas money.  We live in york very near the Galleria mall if anyone's near by and willing.  We have a good bit of cooking experience between the two of us, and have been told many times we should open a restaurant.  Here's some pics of this past weekend, all new experiences for me, first time I've made any of this stuff but it was all great!

Brine cured smoked turkey legs, slightly charred on a hot charcoal grill for skin color.



Beer can burgers, four beef on the left, five chicken on the right, boy ground chicken is a mess to work with without a binder in it.  Second batch of ground jerky was hiding in the back of the first shot.




Finished jerky...


The star this weekend by far were the beef back ribs.  Never had them before, and I think I was right with ribs being my favorite cut, just from the wrong animal all these years.  Wow they were insanely good!




Thanks for watching, I hope we make it!
