    10th Annual South Florida Smoking Meat Gathering (THE BIG ONE!!) - November 13-14, 2020

    I'm up for any of the comps. I still like the Teams with mystery basket ingredient concept.... but that might be too progressive. So maybe paying respect to the beginning of the gathering is not a bad way to go. My $0.02 is having the lunch comp adds back the people keeping to their own...

    10th Annual South Florida Smoking Meat Gathering (THE BIG ONE!!) - November 13-14, 2020

    As long as I can get the time off and have a place to crash (Doug?), I plan on going. Charlyn might actually be able to make an appearance as well since this is her last semester before graduating in December. Carol I tried to book several months ago and pretty much everything around our...

    Anova Sous Vide cooler

    I've done a brisket in the same cooler mod. I have it if needed again, just too big for the two of us. Need a smaller insulated version, love the heat retention. The ANOVA doesn't seem to flinch when starting with hot water first. We start with hot water at work as well.

    If park is open and I can get the time off, I plan to attend. Going back to work at this time is priority for me....

    Carol & John, Glad to hear you all are doing well. Yes I am ready to get back to work. Not spending any money right now due to not knowing how long I will be out of work. Parks open mid July, but Catering is another story. Rumor has it maybe August. Not much smoking here either due to same...

    Oklahoma Joe Highlands/Longhorn Wheel Mod

    Good Day. My dad just gave me his Oklahoma Joe Highlands. I helped him build it a few years back and we did some of the normal mods during the build. We sealed with sealer, added a gasket to the cook door, changed all the bolts to SS, simple relocation of the stack intake with drier tubing...

    I am going to Merritt Island tomorrow to pick up my dad's offset smoker. He doesn't use it, so he is giving it to me. He uses his MES now and is enjoying that style of smoking. I will need to clean it up and put some wheels on it so I can move it around on the ground, no concrete pads here. It...

    Keith, Thanks. I am fine sharing with Doug/Brad seeing as i have managed to find a smaller tent....:emoji_laughing: Besides with the current crap that is going on, I am not really sure what my work schedule will look like in November. Before I was furloughed we were having several weddings and...

    Doug looks like the site i have had the past couple years was grabbed up before i could book. Honestly we were slammed at work and had forgotten about booking until Don texted me the other night. No sites near by, so if your up for sharing a site, I'll be happy to work something out. Might even...

    WOW! Not sure what happened, but I didn't get any notifications for the week! I was able to get casing from Amazon. I have 2 different sizes. I am planning on making Texas Hot Links with some of the venison I have. I have to bring some home to give to the person who gave the venison to me...

    Keith do you have any larger casings? I just received some venison that I double ground and froze. Thinking about bringing it and throwing it into the smokehouse if your game.

    If needed, I'll bring a butt or two. I'll plan on at least 2 racks of ribs. Still trying to figure out something "odd" to make.

    Yes should go quickly on judging, but it doesn't. Every year it takes wwwwaaaaayyyyyy to long! I was a judge the year you won and I remember people taking too long and it being more social gathering than, let's get this done so everyone else can eat. Last year was 12 or 13 entries. I too am...

    As Keith said, Teams could work together to get enough cooker space to cook all the ribs. We could pair Captains with people with large cookers if needed. That actually can be sorted out at the event when we see who shows with what. Preselected Teams kind of defeats the purpose of mixing...

    Remember this is all in fun. We do need to make sure there is enough ribs for all. That is the primary goal! Each Team will need to do around 5 racks each if we only do 4-5 Teams.

    I have been working hard on my super secret chocolate bbq sauce. It has a blend of 6 different coco cocoa varieties. 5 have to be smuggled in.... Not sure if the gathering is ready for it..... I'll compete if a Captain is needed, but I'll hold off until they are settled on.

    It is more of a limit on number of teams. This way less time in judging and more time eating. Last year I think there were 12 entries and it took well over an hour to judge. It also gives a chance for those that are new to work with someone with a little more experience. It also is a way to...

    Doesn't necessarily need to be competition experience to be a captain. Just someone who feels comfortable with their skills to take lead.
