Turtle, thanks for sending that Waygu brisket from Snake River Farms in Washington state. It was the most beautiful hunk of beef I have ever seen.  So juicy... so moist... so tasty. It couldn't have been smoked better, but how can you you go wrong when Dee and his executive chef son-in-law Brad did the preparing and cooking. And yes, we left some for the stragglers that are coming in the next few days. This brisket truly is the best beef I have ever eaten, and I live in Texas and close to bbq mecca. I am now prepared to state emphatically that this is better. Well done, Paul, and thank you.

Y'all better save some brisket for us...we'll be there tomorrow afternoon. 

It looks mighty good!  I'd like to get a taste of what PREMIUM brisket is like, so save me some.

PLEASE!

I am sooooooo sad!

I decided that I shouldn't come this year.

I so wish I did not have to work to make a living.

I wish I could meet OLD Dave, and maybe others that did not attend last year that are going to be there.

I am blessed to have so many friends even if they are over the forum and I will have to wait to meet in person.

Well, it's almost 3:00 on Friday afternoon and all we have so far is some donuts and a brisket.  This leads me to assume there is much BSing and eating going on and that photography is a low priority.  I understand.  Sort of  ;)

Those men "look" like they really know what they are talking about when it comes to BBQ food.

Jaxon: you need to put on some pounds if you want to "fit" right in.

Maybe next year?

So I called Delta again and the guy told me $200.  I checked UPS & USPS on line and they quoted similar prices.

I'm in my "airport hotel" so before calling dee to pick up his new PBC, I took it out to AGS and checked with the Delta people there.  We weighed the box and they decided that if I "cross-packed" my suitcase and the PBC so that neither weighed more than 52 pounds they'd take it as a second bag.  At $25 for one and $35 for the second, that's $60 total - even better than the $25 + $50 I originally expected. 

Came back to the hotel and opened the (carefully packed) PBC and took out what I guessed would bring it down to about 50 pounds.  I guess we'll see what happens when I go back in the morning to fly out.  I'm sure none of the folks I talked to today will be working but I'm hoping whoever's there agrees with their instructions. Otherwise dee may still get the call.

Ka,

If you can get it back for $50 or less I say go for it. otherwise. leave it with Dee and we can have a contest (of your choosing) on LTBBQ for mainland members.  ::) :D

Just my thought  ::) 8)

Okay friends some more photos from the Gathering.  I need to add that this was my first Gathering
and indeed it will not be my last.  It is so relaxing and peaceful at Clarks Hill lake. Dee did an excellent
job of getting everything set up in advance.  Nothing beats the atmosphere, camaraderie and friendliness
of some great BBQ enthusiasts and cooks!

Peaceful, quiet and beautiful scenery.

I am sooooooo sad!

I decided that I shouldn't come this year.

I so wish I did not have to work to make a living.

I wish I could meet OLD Dave, and maybe others that did not attend last year that are going to be there.

I am blessed to have so many friends even if they are over the forum and I will have to wait to meet in person.

Life goes on!

Sylvia and I managed to sneak off work to go to the gathering!

Turtle inspired me... If he could travel all the way from Hawaii, I decided I could sneak off from work for a few hours and no one would be the wiser.

Well, two days later and I still have a job.

I am soooo happy I went and do not intend to ever again consider not going.

Friends, friends and more friends!

The best way to describe the occasion is is by pointing out that "there are always givers and there are takers", this is a gathering of "givers".

Good, "real" folk!

If you like to cook and you like people, this is a must do event!

Please consider coming next year and be blessed.

This year I came away with my Christmas Meal recipe: Tenthunters glazed ham.

He promised he would post his recipe, you must consider it!


Thanks to all my friends for a wonderful afternoon!

dog - Jaxon relinquished the video duties to IR2Dum (who knows a little about that stuff).

Tommy - You are too easily impressed.

HighOnSmoke - Thanks for all the help on photos, cooks, whatever needed doing.  Made it easy for the lazy ones (You know who you were - oops, talking to/about myself again).

I am still trying to absorb the events (and some of the food) of the weekend...it really was a memorable Gathering. 
I will be posting more details later, but wanted to let you know Don, aka IR2DUM  is our video specialist and he will be documenting the weekend thru his lens a little later.  He is on his way to N C to do some technical work for NBC Sports.  That'll probably have him busy thru Thursday.
THEN...He will be coming by our place on Friday for a cookout before he heads back to Houston.  There is always an open invitation for any of you to come for a visit - especially when Don is gonna be there.  Just gimme a heads up so we can have plenty of food for you.  Don can really put it away.

Hub,
We missed you.  Glad your cooking commitment went well.  Next year, if you have to, invite your friend along.  That way he will not schedule something else for you to do.

Sometime after we return from out trip, we can schedule a lunch with the NC Crew and I will bring the Super Pig Mini-Cheesecakes.  You bring your cardiologist.

BTW, I bought a bottle of Bakon bacon flavored vodka while in Augusta.  It is even better when you store it in the freezer before partaking.

If you make a martini with bacon flavored vodka, do you garnish it with a twist of bacon?  A Lil' Smoky?  An ABT?

Can anyone that was at the gathering (the person that cooked it) help me get the recipe for the roast beef cooked with a tonka.... Something seasoning/ rub?

It was out of this world just like the maple ham!

Although Tommy used his crutch, he WAS able to give instructions on how the roast should be prepped and cooked.  I think Mike actually cooked in his Traeger Jr.  It certainly did turn out.

Ta Daaa!  The PBC made it home unharmed as a (lightened) second piece of luggage for $35.  When SWMBO lets me off the green diet I'm currently "enjoying," I'll christen it - possibly with a turkey since I'll probably be eating rabbit food into November.

Thanks again to all.  For those contemplating attending next year, cooking skill is not always required - Pam is looking for several dishwashers to replace her at the sink.

I'm really po'd, not because of you, but they wanted to charge me $100 for 11 lbs over..I had to take my coffee pot and sleeping bag out and carry in waaaayyyyyyyyyyy overfull carry on.
