I hope y'all are eatin' good this evening. I hated having to depart before the party really got cranked up. Still, it was great to meet some fine folks and enjoy some good eats.
Thanks to Scott and Cricket for hosting. If there's a 6th Annual SMF Carolinas Smokers Gathering, I will be there.

I'll think about it and get back to you.

Was absolutely wonderful! And thanks so much (and thanks to Todd also) for the gift of the tube smoker. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but planning on getting it up and running very soon.
So much good food I wouldn't know where to start, and wouldn't want to imply that what I don't mention wasn't terrific also. But, that said....
Cricket's fruit salad - so simple, so amazing.
Pork Shotz - Phenomenal! I'd never heard of these before. I can't believe the sausages were Hillshire Farms. I thought somebody had made them. Since when does Hillshire Farms taste that good? Scott - I've seen the pictures of the ingredients you put in the brown sugar mix, but could you post a recipe of the mix you make? Would appreciate it. Also, you said smoked 2 hours. At what temp?
Ribs - 'nough said.
Smoked mac and cheese - Totally cooked from scratch in the smoker. Never thought of that one. I always cooked it, then smoked it. So much better this way.
But let's face it, as good as the food was, the really good part was meeting the people. I heard so many new ideas/techniques that I want to follow-up on when I get my smoker up and going again after a move.
So particular thanks to Joe for bringing/running his smoker, and not least for many good smoking ideas; and, of course, to Scott and Cricket for hosting this event. I'm certainly looking forward to next year.

It wasn't Hillshire Farms Bob. It was my own recipe. Hope you all can make it back next year.

Well now that makes more sense to me. I thought it was WAY to good for Hillshire Farms. I got the Hillshire Farms idea because when I searched the forum for Pork Shotz, the first link that shows up is one by you (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/114257/pre-thanksgiving-pulled-pork-and-pork-shotz-too-q-view ) that shows a package of Hillshire Farms being used for the little wonders.
