I don't know if anyone has posted on this topic yet (because my search skills are lacking), but we had a great day of friends, conversation, tall tales, and a lot of good food cooked on the grills at Jaxon's house in Byron, GA on Friday. There is picture proof of this event, but I am still away from home for about a week so either Jaxon or Mike will have to do the posting for now. We had a good crowd...Jaxon and Deb, Mike (High on Smoke), Albert and Sylvia, and myself. We were disappointed that Dee was under the weather and couldn't make it. We ate really good. Albert grilled 2 appetizers on the IR CharBroil...some french bread with bacon bits, pico de gallo, and cheese and then he grilled some avocado halves before he added cheese, bacon, and grilled shrimp (he made mine with grilled sausage instead of shrimp because he said that I was "special") and then put them back on the grill to melt down and blend the flavors. Both were delicious and I ate too many. Mike made his famous chicken wings on the Weber. We all learned great Weber technique watching him. They were so good and I ate way too many. Jaxon made 3 racks of St. Louis ribs on his offset. He had that offset tuned in perfectly with oak wood and it maintained a perfect 275 all afternoon. They tasted like competition quality and, again, I ate too many. Jaxon also made some mac and cheese from the Masterbuilt cookbook that was really good. For the vegetables, Deb made a spring salad and also a fruitbowl that we snacked on all day. We all had the best time just sitting around conversing, telling stories, talking about everyone on the forum, and just enjoying everybody's company. The weather was perfect, the food was extraordinary, and the camaraderie was fantastic. Mike took pics and Jaxon took pics and I took a few on the cell, but I can't post them until I get home. All in all, it was a great day. Thanks to Jaxon and Deb for providing their house and hospitality for us to do this.
