Meeting of Kamados....I Was Almost Banned

Posts: 11,339
A group of us Egghead's met up in the Chippewa National Forest this past week for a little get together.
I almost got banned from the group and not accepted for bringing my stick burner instead of a Kamado. (Not really) It was the perfect opportunity to use the stick burner given the time and place. Plus it made packing up and loading easy at 6:30am Sunday morning for the 4 hour trip home.
I picked up a cheap 4x6 canopy for the smoker to keep it dry as rain was expected in the forecast. I wasn't expecting the canopy to make it through the weekend but I was pleasantly surprised it did! I even had a chance to try out some Cheerwine that I picked up.
The KBQ part way through a cook. The top rack was wild turkey, the second rack was elk, and the bottom was some chicken for chicken salads.
I forgot to take a picture of the wild turkey but did get a picture of the chicken and elk when coming off.
ClayQ hosted a bread making class.
Ribs
I was awful about getting pictures of food. Here's a couple more random shots that I remembered.
A good to time was had by all.

I love every single part of this!
Man I don't know if it's the angle or what but it looks like you must have had a fairly long extension cord running out to that KBQ."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

How was the wild turkey?Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

My plan was to run it off a spare car battery and power inverter. (What I use at competitions in the past) I couldn't find my smaller power inverter so I grabbed my bigger one. The smoker ran for 15-20 minutes but would cut out using the inverter and battery. The battery was good and was trickled charged the night before. There was a guy at the get together who works with power grids and explained to me how the smaller inverter is more powerful than the bigger one I brought. Which is weird but he obviously knows what he's talking about.
I was at least smart enough to bring a long extension cord if something went wrong. I couldn't find any power outlets outside. So it became a little redneck....

@WeberWho I think I tested running my KBQ with a Jackery 300W generator/battery whatever they're called. And, I think it worked well, but honestly can't remember what happened. Guess I'll have to try it again.

Thanks. My buddy made that cutting board a few years back and has come in really handy. Not the easiest to store but nice for serving bigger cuts of protein."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

The wild turkey was really good. I think they soaked it in buttermilk prior. I didn't have big expectations as it was my first time but I found it to be really tasteful."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

I'm wondering what size my smaller inverter is? I just assumed with my slightly bigger inverter would be better and wouldn't have any issues running the KBQ. Not so much.
My small inverter runs 5-6 hours with the KBQ without a hitch. It works slick when I can find it."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Wild turkey is really good when it's cooked correctly. I've mostly had it fried (chicken strips style, not whole) and that's really good too.

Mr PotatoHead knows the owners of the lodge as most of the attendees are from around the area. We rented out 3 cabins but use the center one for the entertainment.RRP said:I see that was in "Chippewa National Forest" but that that some rental lodge, or some eggers' hideaway from momma and the crazy world we live in?"The pig is an amazing animal.
