Cannot wait to see pictures and chatter between everyone.  Hopefully someone will be uploading pictures throughout each day.

Awesome. I'll just bring spices/rubs then.

Thatgrimguy

I have a good bit of all that in my Motorhome too. @caliking

henapple

@caliking... Just bring your rub. 

caliking

Much appreciated, @thatgrimguy.

@henapple -  Go back to being 49... you weren't such a dirty old man back then.

Waitaminit ... you were.

I need to quit hanging out with @20stone - here i was planning  on flying in  to NOLA to drink @henapple 's beer, and now suddenly he's roped me into cooking something, with a shopping list etc. 

NOLA has assured me that there will be no shortage of smoker capacity, and no shortage of FRE (that's military speak for "Friends - Ready to Eat").  

As such, I have completed my consultations with my various suppliers of dirty hippy humanely raised creatures, and we are officially headed to crazytown.  I don't know what the rest of you clowns are doing, but I'm bringing over 20 lbs of meat, and I'm flying in.

Using my new profile pic as a guide (thanks @Mickey), I may preshave the spots for the electrodes

@20stone There will be a crowd of rabidly hungry drooling people...I'm not sure how many but based on our PMI (predicted meat inventory) we should be able to feed 200 plus. 

SGH had shown me an insane shopping cart from SRF.  JohnInCarolina has a waygu being shipped to my work.  I'm going to get some pedestrian prime brisket, butts.  Randy is making 15 gallons of gumbo, Red about 20 quarts of red beans, plus whatever other people bring, we're doing some sides and many people coming are bringing stuff.

We will have two custom batches of beer from nolabrew (made for the event).  I have a keg that I might bring.  We have a dining room table full of booze and mixers and two people volunteered to tend bar.

I have a PA system, there will be instruments to be obnoxious on (and rotten vegetables to throw at those being that) and the band will play around 3PM - two sets, and they're awesome.  I mean, really really awesome.

As far as cooking surface goes, we'll probably have 6 large egg, some smaller ones, and a number of other large grill/smokers.  Even a gasser for the hell of it.

Lawyers will be on-site to handle legal issues, and so will a telemetry nurse (SWMBO) who is current on CPR training. 

Since Saturday coincides with the neighborhood home tour, we'll probably have a lot of passers-by.

As far as pre-shaving your chest - I'll consult my medical expert to see if that's worth the effort.

Looking forward to it I'M PUMPED!

Eggcelsior

In regards to chest shaving, those ambu pads are stock on defibrillators in sets of 2 for a very specific reason. No need to waste a razor blade.

I will be more than happy to rapid IVP Adenosine as well.

I'm gonna make smokey braised beef tacos.

Thanks for posting the PMI. Now I Feel like a loser.

....and the third rule of brisket camp...EVERYBODY FIGHTS.  I MEAN, COOKS!

Dondgc

@nolaegghead - when will brisket prep get started? Friday evening?

caliking

I'll throw in a free colonoscopy if anyone's over 50 and interested. 

@eggcelsior - just bring the adenosine.  In case old farts like Tony need it.

What does PMI stand for? Pardon my ignorance. 

theyolksonyou

I guess  I need to add to the shopping list I gave @henapple

nolaegghead

@Dondgc I would like to get the overnighter stuff prepped and the equipment fired up before 9PM on Friday.  We can go out and maybe do the second line bar ferry thing or whatever and come back around midnight and throw the meat in the stabilized smokers.  

Legume

I hate all of you.

That's the kind of dedication Brisket Camp deserves!

piney

@nolaegghead Do I need to bring another quart jar or two?

caliking said:

@nolaeggehad - any idea if the kitchen is stocked with pots/pans/cookware/utensils? just trying to get an idea so I know what to pack. 

@caliking I'm gonna be in NOLA Thurs PM will pick you up at airport @1:20pm on Friday, you have my number so you can call 

nolaegghead

@Piney  I still have a jar left from last year so I think we're good, brother.

@SGH - you know I don't drink, my friend.  I'm a total teetotaler.

I just may have some incriminating pics that prove just the opposite

nolaegghead

@SGH - the smiley face was supposed to mean sarcasm my broken-down-weber ownin' friend.  I wouldn't be such a crazy nut here if I didn't drink.  Or would I???

nolaegghead

double posting this because of the dang lawyers.

 
So folks, this is our band.  NSFW.  They are the most awesome band IMHO we could get.  And I hope this doesn't scare anyone away from the festivities.  But if it does, you probably shouldn't be there.  (also, my lawyers tell me this WILL be a kid-friendly event, and in no way does this reflect upon actual performance expectations of said band and underwriters of insurance policies that we should probably have but don't except our lawyers are slick mo-fos, etc, et al, bla bla bla).

In full disclosure, I HIGHLY recommend you DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO.  My lawyers tell me that I must post it, however, so there we go.  10-4 java hut smokey bear out.

Also, I increased the gig from 1 to 2 sets after seeing this video.  So this is costing me a fortune (1K 4 band).  So make sure you contribute or this will be the last year we do this...I was left paying the check last year.  And I'm PO!
