I'll see if I can bring a few sacks of oysters.

That would be great to have a throw down between the two!

Fresh oysters, petting zoo...trifecta!

My cabin is booked. 3 left yesterday afternoon. 2 nights.. $90, no cancelation. 

@DMW and I are taking the top bunk... 

This looks like fun, but I didn't see a date in the OP (besides the general designation of "2016").

The thread is TL;DR, so can someone help me out?

?Quando, quando, quando?

@20stone , my apologies.  Once my editor and I found the miscue, I was out of the one hour window to edit.

Count me in gentlemen. A mere 4.5 hour drive for me.  And if all goes well over the winter I will supply the oysters.  Will probably harvest them Friday morning and hit the road south.  Doesn't get any fresher than that! 

Love raw oysters, shot of vodka and bloody Mary mix! great way to start the day!

With all these oysters you may have to hire security for the petting zoo @tarheelmatt not sure just keeping an eye on them will work.

Thanks.  I'll see if we can swing it.

tarheelmatt

You're right Jason... I'll need some help and plenty of backup for these guys.  They're the real deal!  

Maybe a PSA from my boy Antione Dodson posted in the area?

Will there be any loaner smoker capacity?  I can bring meat, but my LBGE won't fit in the overhead compartment.

@piney is bringing Eggs (I think 3 (Lg, med, Jr)).  

I will have my large and medium and will have the Blackstone. 

@JohnInCarolina I'm not sure what he's bringing.  

@DMW had talked about renting some kind of something.  

There's a role call somewhere I think @Jupiter Jim  made that some indicated what they're bringing.  

I probably need to make a Google Doc outlining what folks are bringing.

I'll empty someone's else's egg if I need to to make room for the kind of stuff you are known to bring.

If @20stone is cooking, I'll throw my measly offerings in the parking lot. He can have my egg for the day. 

tarheelmatt

Hell, the way you guys are talking, I'll just have @bgebrent to just buy @20stone a brand new Egg for him to cook on.  B-Rent is good for it....

The dude shops at a dirty hippie farm where they are known to sell pork chops that have rotted for 50 days. You don't want any of that.

JethroVA

Just booked my cabin for both nights. SWMBO isn't coming so if anybody needs a bunk let me know.  No charge if I get to be the outside spoon.  
p.s. cabins do not have coffee makers. Plan Ahead.

You guys are nuts.  It doesn't take a genius to buy pork past its expiration date.  Heck, I was lucky I didn't burn the Inn on the Creek down last year at Salado cooking it.

Even worse, with no power, I may be helpless to manage the temp on a BGE, mine or otherwise.  I bet the WiFi is even worse.

Seriously though, I'm sure there will be room. Good chance I'll have one of these in tow:

Even if we have a pig on there, there will be room for other stuff, unless we get a really big pig.

I'll have a huge Shirley Fab smoker there.

Hey brother!  Check out the first post.  It has links embedded to Google Maps. 

bgebrent

Of course I'm good for it Mattie boy!  My biggest concern about the Butt Blast is getting any decent photographers there to document the shenanigans.  Mattie, maybe you could put JIC on that?

tarheelmatt

Nah, you noticed JIC with his hand all cut up at brisket camp?  He cannot be trusted. 

nolaegghead

I will bring my Canon 5D.  I'll probably be too fkdup to use it at some point but I'll do my best.

bgebrent

I'll start researching it then.  I'll keep you posted. Matt hew.

tarheelmatt

I'll definitely have my camera to document,  don't worry b-rent! 

bgebrent

Oh, um, uh, I said decent.  @nolaegghead can save the day!  Jk Mattie

If you're talking about making sure your grub looks good, I don't think even Ansel Adams could help you out little buddy.
