    I’m sure there’ll be a few options for that.

    Just talked to Joellen at Dizzy Pig and they're donating 8 shakers of rub for the raffle.  Also talked to Chad & Tracy at Kick Ash Basket and they're donating a new Grate Lifter and Stone Lifter (they already sent a basket to someone for the raffle--but I forget who.)  I'm pulling the DP shakers and lifters from my store and will bring them along!

    @thetrim Looks like pork belly.  Is it cured for bacon? Or fresh?   I am sure we can figure out something to do with it.

    Yeah pork belly uncured.  Figured that would be fun tomorrow night, and I didn’t hear anyone mention that before.  They didn’t have any cap of ribeye.

    irst of what I assume will be many casualties of the weekend. We pulled out of one the 5 gas stations for the trip and bottomed out the tongue jack, breaking the weld. Fark me. Oh well, went to Lowe’s and bought some makeshift cribbing to make it safe.

    We are in Cabin 1 if you want to roll on by with some slushee mix. B)

    5,000 unloaded. I’m guessing a little over 6 with all of the extra firewood and supplies.

    How is it? I’ve only ever had the 23 (scored a bottle back in 2014 and shut out ever since) and felt it was amazing. Sadly it’s gone.
