Looks like the definites for Friday are at a minimum: 6 (including yourself) members and approx 2-4 more guests of those 6 (wives)...so atleast 8-10 friday night. Last year i believe everyone arrived by Friday night.Doug, I know it's still a little early but do you have a head count for Friday? I am planning on smoking some butts for everybody for lunch/dinner Friday (whenever it gets done) and am trying to figure out how many to bring for that.
I'm assuming we pretty much eat comp food on Sat? I'm sure there will be plenty of sausage too. Still not sure about the comp myself, unsure of using a smoker I'm not familiar with but after these ribs I did this weekend I'm thinking the smoker won't matter, the rub will blow everyone out the water!!!! So I might just have to get in on that so a SFL newbie can walk away with a win!!! About how much does each smoke for the comp?
Yes Saturday is mainly compeitition food and normally people make other snacks throughout the day...we are generally all stuffed saturday night! haha. to answer your questions about how much to make for the competitions. Usually we have between 4-6 judges(normally camp staff and lucky passers by), so at a minimum enough to give them a bite to eat. Whatever is left goes on the table for dinner for everyone else. I usually make 2-3 racks of ribs to feed judges and other people. We'll likely be filling up zip locks of all the leftovers :)
That rub might be good but we'll see if it takes home the Gold ;)
