Daughter and I had to head back to Raleigh before anybody even had a chance to try these beans. Just wondered what people thought of them. We love them, but they're a bit different. Just wondered if anyone got around to trying them, and what you thought? Don't want to be bringing them again if a more traditional baked bean side would be preferred.

They were good. I enjoyed the difference.

Great pics Warren. I appreciate everyone over looking my lack of interpersonal skills. Great food was really the reward for attending.

 

[BigTurtle]

It was like a family gathering honestly. Thanks to you all. Pray for our soldiers past and present and smoke something Memorial Day.

 

[smokin peachey]

Thanks for all those pics Warren. Looks like some good eating.

Wow peaches in beans what an idea. How were they?

 

[kelbro]

I had planned to make this one. Work scheduled an Asia trip during that weekend. Got delayed at the last minute and by then I had completely forgotten that this was going on. Maybe next year!

It was a great event. A lot of work but well worth it. I'd like to thank Tulsa Jeff for his generous and delicious donation as well as Lisa from Vacuum Sealers Unlimited for supporting us once again.

Tri-Tip

Smoke Bourbon Bratwurst Big Turtle made. They were quite delish. Nice smoke ring.

Fruit salad. Gotta have something to wash down all that meat.

Many flavors available.

Chicken and some Mexican corn.

Meatloaves, Beans and a butt.

Watermelon time with Tabitha.

My girl the mixologist. Couldn't find any little umbrellas.

Rum and fruit. A wonderful combo.

Tri-Tip taken out at 135°.

This was awesome. Loved us some Tri-Tip.

Nice looking meat.

Spare ribs. STL style.

You can see they were enjoyed.

Smoking some moonshine.

And then we smoked some bourbon.

Then we lit the Christmas tree on fire.

Hope you enjoyed our little adventure.

Those are great Scott. I borrowed a couple. Thanks to you and Cricket for the chalk and other yard games for the kids enjoyment.

We ate a lot earlier this year cause there was so much great food. The brisket didn't get eaten cause everyone was full. Took some home and have to say the brisket was awesome. A family member said it was the best brisket the ever had. I'm still eating Warren's crab soup. I was fortunate enough to get most of it. Warren... great stuff again. Big turtle. Thanks for bringing the smoker. I see why you cater ..... you make great bbq. Beef ribs were great. Hope u make it next year. Always nice for someone to bring something to the table that's new....
