    This is turning into a Battle Royal.  I'm cooking tomorrow with @caliking, @20stone, and @The Cen Tex Smoker.

    Bring it.
    Wish I could make it!  Already planned a fishing trip on Sat!  300 pound pig, oh my science!

    Very cool.  And thanks DoubleEgger for putting this on. 

    As for my earlier post, I should clarify that a bunch of drunk guys sitting around a fire probably not even eating off plates are unlikely to bring much to this contest.  But it sure sounded good in my head when I wrote that trash talk.

    True. If only @caliking hadn't insisted on plates and utensils. And side dishes. We could have gone straight up with meat, beer, and fire.

    Brother stone, all kidding aside, butchering hogs and fireworks are two of my personal favorites.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    This time around, the pig was slaughtered for us today.  I am picking it up tomorrow skinned and halved. 

    Next time around, when its not 95 degrees, we may do the deed ourselves.

    Boiled peanuts are a way of life in South Carolina. No place like it.

    I have one planned too, or I would be in.  Leaving dock Sat between 2-4, coming back Sun evening.

    Tight lines and safe trip....

    Throw a butt on or something. It's a maintenance free cook. You'll appreciate some pork sammies after working your ass off all day.

    If I were local....I would bring you great eats. That sounds like too much fun, especially with Bourbon slushiness.

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    What if we are male on Friday, female on Sat and male again on Sunday?  

    I want ant to change eggs in the middle of a brisket cook to give both eggs equal media time ( 4 pics per cook). Is this allowed?
