The 1st annual gathering finished up today. It was a "Wunnerful" time as some might say. There was some great Q, conversations, discussions, Q, and even a few lessons learned from the experience of others. Those that couldn't make it were missed. Especially you Cheech... there's next time buster.
Bud and Theresa brought their daughter and Willey (sp?) along with that Wunnerful Lang smoker. Along with Steve they put out some of the best ribs you could ask for.. at any price. Despite a few set backs and obstacles those ribs and "salad" were GREAT Bud.
Tim came out with his lovely bride and put up a great all day show with the butts and brisket. Not to mention the fish and sausage for appetizers. Anyone who says Tim's method of putting out a brisket won't work... there's a group here to tell you just how well it does work... even if it is "over cooked" in someone's opinion.
I'm proud to announce that Matt showed up with his great attitude and wanted to learn everything he could... asked questions, watched, listened and made his FIRST ABT's ever AND rubbed his first butt (pork butt) and for that he got a free shirt. Congratulations Matt and welcome to the forums... Keep Smokin buddy.
Peculiar Mike and his best half were there also with those Wunnerful Breakfast Fatty Burritos... You folks gotta get into some of those... Wunnerful Stuff.. Rilley they are! Also Mike was the winner of the grand prize GOSM giveaway. Congratulations go out to him and we EXPECT pics as soon as you get that puppy in service.
Oh yeah I did smoke that ham I was supposed to. But when you're in direct conflict with some of the best brisket on the planet.. it was just so so. Others said it good.. I think they were playing nice.
TulsaJeff and Abbi along with their 3 Wonderful children were there showing their support of the gathering. We appreciate you for taking time out of your busy schedule to brave the heat and partake of the event and foods with us. I can't say it enough... Thanks again for starting and maintaining such a great family friendly site... Hats off to you Jeff.
I will post my pictures soon. Take care all and have a great day!
