Well last weekend the Michigan smokers round table along with some other good friends, and
handymanstan
family came together for the Handyman Stan Meat & Two contest at Wonder Dog Ranch.
We set up a meat & two smoking contest in Stan’s honor and invited his family to come out and see what Stan had enjoyed doing all these years with us. $25 entree fee, and each team had 3 hours to turn in smoked meat loaf, and two sides that had at least one smoked component in them.
The money earned will be donated to the local food bank which was Stan’s favorite charity. I’ll have to get a final count but I believe we raised right around $900.
It’s been since before Covid that the round table got everyone together so it was a great day to catch up and have some fun while remembering Stan.
We did miss
humdinger
as he was on vacation with his family. And also
jokensmoken
who’s battling pneumonia. And also Tom and his dad who couldn’t make this one all the way from wisconson.
In the end Cooter & Dr. Danielle won the contest with a Turkey meatloaf. Not sure about everything that was in it, but it did have grilled pineapple on top of it.
I finished in the middle with my entree but my sides of smoked cornbread, and smoked mashed potatoes were devoured.
Overall a great day, with great food & great people! It’s exactly what Stan would have loved to be a part of.
I don’t have many pics but here’s a few:
Some of the teams set up on the side of the barn.
Stan’s family with a poster of Stan we had up in the barn.
Meatloafs on the large smoker.
Cam announcing the winner and the last place team. Can’t let the losers get away without giving them some flack.
Farmer Scott tending the the smoker.
Overall it was a great day and we dodged what was suppose to be terrible weather. I hope Stan was looking down and smiling.
