Although I missed their camping trip on Lake Hartwell last weekend,I was still eggin and camping My older son Carson had a cub scout camping trip on Lake Lanier the same weekend,so I had to make a decision :pinch: I'm sure that I made the right one We had 6 couples and 10 kids,and I made sure that they all ate well :woohoo: I don't have any cooking pics,but I cooked steaks for the adults Friday night before setting up the XL for an overnight butt cook fro Saturdays' dinner.What I couldn't cook on the XL,I cooked on the mini and the campground grill.Here's a few pics of my set-up :woohoo:
I also found out that my Griddle Q is a perfect fit on the park grill :woohoo:
After I cooked the butts,I made 24 chicken legs,and four chicken breasts for the kids.Again,no cooking pics,but here's a few happy kids :woohoo:
It's funny(but not surprising)that everyone wanted to eat and hang out at my camp all weekend :P Thanks for looking
