    Uncle Apple I'm going to do several of them. My plan is to get there early before the crowd and get a load of meat cooking on Unit #1 (stuffed chickens, shoulders and briskets) and then as the crowd shows up start demonstrating how to debone and stuff the chickens, debone and prep brisket that has been rough cut from the carcass. I have had numerous questions and requests about prep work. Thus I thought it would be a good idea to demonstrate it. Seems like most folks on the forum are pretty happy with their cooking abilities but not their prep skills. With all that said, the way the chicken vanished last time I plan on doing at least 10 of them. I will put 5 on the smoker early and save 5 to demonstrate how to debone and stuff them. I will have Unit #7 idling on stand by so capacity will not be a issue. Also I have a new stuffing that I want you and Aunt Apple to try. I have been playing around with a ground grouper stuffing that I think is better than the crab and shrimp. I'm going to make chickens using both types of stuffing. The grouper stuffed one is for you and Aunt Apple to try.

    I didn't take a head count but it was quite a few. Once we fired the smokers off people from everywhere started coming in. At times I didn't know if the person I was talking to or serving was a forum member or not.

    See you in October let me know what we need. I know we need fresh fruit, oranges, limes, lemons, etc.

    To avoid scurvy? Tonic water helps with that also.
    I thought quinine was for  malaria, doc. Well, and good dreams too. 
    You're right. That's what I meant but I was multitasking on my phone when I posted that. The bottom line is that gin and tonic prevents disease.

    Not sure. My son will be off in college so I can't use the "honey I'm just trying to be a good father - this is what he wants to do" excuse. And there's a parents weekend I'm supposed to go to sometime around then... And I have to be in Philadelphia and Chicago from about September 30 to October 8 for work which means I'll have a bunch of work to make up.  

    So so as of now we are tentatively hoping to fly him down from Baltimore to meet me in New Orleans. 

    ? Maybe with @Eggcelsior?

    For some reason my wife thinks he would be safer flying with a guy I met on the Internet than flying by himself.  

    I'm thinking he can help Eggcelsior find his way back to the airport on Sunday...

    @SGH, I'll bring a few chickens if you will teach me how to debone them.

    I will be more than glad too. Just be sure that they are 6 pounds or smaller. The reason being is ones any larger will not cook correctly when stuffed with seafood. I will even show you how to sew them back up once they are deboned with edible thread.
