3rd Annual North Carolina Smokers Gathering (With Pics)

[alelover]

I'm still tweaking and finding flavors and learning. If you think TBS is better than tsp I'll bump it up. I'm sure you know the effects of paprika in ground meat much better than I. I was thinking I'd do the coarse grind and cure on Thursday or Friday and do fine grind and stuff on Saturday.

Less than a month to go.

We've come up with a menu for the 3rd Annual North Carolina Smokers Gathering April 25th, 26th and 27th 2014. Some additions and subtraction may be made depending on what folks bring.

We will also have a sausage making demo and hopefully serve the smoked sausage for lunch Saturday.

Man I wish I had knew of this earlier. Too late for holidays this year, but next year if I know in advance I would love to come down from Canada to see for the first time how real smokers work.

Isn't a sole around me that I have noticed that has a smoker except me. Really need some tips.

Let me know for next year so I can book time off.

Looked at the two previous years posts and pics. I didn't see anyone doing anything but eating and drinking....lol. I thought the States were big on cornhole? Another thing Canadians know nothing of, made two sets and its always whats that. maybe I could bring a prize for the bbq seeing how I can't bring meat over the border

It's Highway 73 between Concord and Mt. Pleasant. Hope you can make it.
