[zerowin]

Scrapple is good with anything, even on pizza ^^

 

[smokin peachey]

Adam do you have a kettle? We could try making some scrapple on Saturday.

 

[HalfSmoked]

That's funny Peachey I had the same thoughts about making a small batch of scrapple haven done that in a while. Do you have a recipe if not I can get one. What kind of pot do you think we'll need?

Zerowin I have 2 pizza stones one round 14" and a rectangle one 12 x 14" let me know.

Hardcookin yup we diffidently need coffee. I think I can borough a coffee machine will check into it. Yes we will need some breakfast meats Adam will have some bacon any other offers would be great. Have you any idea what you may bring yet? Good question about warmers and yes we can use some foil pans.

Thanks for all your interest and replies it's great this is going to fly. It has taken a year to get it of the ground but great things take time.

I have 3 of the big CI kettles.   Either 30  or 50 gallon.   Big enough???  

I am sure they need cleaned.  Havent been used for 25 years.

30 gallon man that's a lot of scrapple. Will take one of those pigs your raising to make that much although we use to make 50 gallon pot every year.

Question for you Zerowin with your food line up do I need to bring the Chianti? 

Warren

 

[zerowin]

I'm a barley and hops man myself, but knock yourself out!  The round stone would be great warren, my dough batch size is good for 14, and stretches to 16 in a bit thinner.  Peachey's is welcome too, I'll have to get a peal before the event.  I don't mind the extra batch at all boykjo, as I always have left over cream, and cheeses and have to make something else far too fattening to use them up.  I'll be stirring and staring at one pot for a few hours anyway, what's one more.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Ok here we go C Farmer and I have decided it's time to go ahead and up date the thread to what we have at this time. So right now we have 8 SMF members plus their family members so we could be up to 16 to 20 people. Although we know things can change between now an then as it already has we've had a couple drop out.

Here is what we have food wise at this time and we welcome any additional offers you may wish to bring.

C Farmer     brisket

Smokin Peachey     turkey

HalfSmoked     4 racks of ribs and supplies to make a fatty

boykjo     doing a sausage demonstration on Saturday

Zerowin     doing Saturday lunch with a belly busting menu ( read his post )

We have at this time mac & cheese, coleslaw and potato salad also 2 cakes and another member not sure either a cake or cookies.

C Farmer dutches beans

Friday we need some additional food HalfSmoked is planning on veg. crab soup but we could use some other items even if its just hotdogs and burgers. Adam has hotdogs made from his beef JJ is making pot roast w/dumplings

Hardcookin Pulled Chicken for either Friday or Saturday

HalfSmoked is bringing all the paper products (paper plates forks knives spoons bowls plastic cups)  Zerowin bulk package paper towels

Other items needed condiments, foil, foil pans (2 people have offered foil pans not sure how many or what size) rolls and buns

We are asking that everybody bring their own drinks (sodas or adult drinks) and whatever spices sauce so forth that you will need to prepare what you are making.

Have we made it more interesting to you if so then sign up and come on down.

Thanks for reading

We will be making some of my southern style country breakfast sausage. The way I'm thinking I'm more apt to bring my pop up camper and leave the smokers home. Making cured sausages takes time and it helps to have the right equipment to do so. It probably would be best for me to bring some smoked/cured sausages and heat them up for us to eat them and make some fresh sausages not requiring curing times. I'll have some sausage care packages for people to take home with them too....

Sounds like a plan to me Joe. Any body coming with you?

 

[chef jimmyj]

I'll be making my Jamaican Pot Roast and Spinners for Friday night. My Wife is not a fan but I vote yes on the Scrapple. Give Bev a sausage patty on a biscuit and coffee and she's happy. I could make the Biscuits Sat morning too...JJ

 

[HalfSmoked]

The problem I see is we are going to need more than a weekend to eat all this food. Look out waist line.

[zerowin]

I planned a big meal so anyone who deems it edible can stake claims on some leftovers to take home. I guess I should have asked if there is a working fridge there to store food. But my intentions were much like Boykjo's care packages [emoji]128512[/emoji]

Look on page 3 of this post and you will see the inside of the house there is a kitchen and a small kitchen in the basement. Adam said the frig works but if not I can bring some large coolers.

I'm 23 miles NE of Pittsburgh. We're considering attending this event. I have a motorhome so we'll have our own accommodations. Can I get an address or a little more detailed location than Port Matilda for this event?? I would probably drive up I-99. We attended the 2011 North Fl gathering.  -Tom

I finally got the chance to run the pellet grill on high, and it holds at 450, so I can do pizza on it, if the crust is par baked a bit first.  I did my first trial run on it yesterday, using store bought dough instead of home made, and that's why it ballooned up a bit more than usual.  Still turned out great!

There are some other things we need to think about.      First remember there are no furnishing in the house so you will need to bring lawn chairs or some type of seating.

Idea if you plan on napping in the house a chase lounge chair will work great or maybe a fold up cot.

I have a 6' folding table but we will need more.

I also have a 10' x 10' popup tent could most likely use another one or two.

We're down to 2 months and counting.
