Well, I'll be there in spirit.

[RonB]

I miss them all, but thinkin' about Bonesy still puts a lump in my throat, but it's gettin' smaller as time goes by.

I bought two slabs of ribs for this cook last month. I also have a Bison brisket I might do as well.

This morning started off well but seeing this post made me sad. I miss those guys.

That’s a line up legends there!

Thank you for organizing this again!

I’m in!

[Skip]

It's on the Calendar!

[Donw]

Yesterday was Bonesy’s birthday. Thinking about how I feel during these bittersweet memorial cooks, I think I’ll add a slice of Key Lime pie to my entry to cover all the bases.

[CaptainMike]

And mebbe a can 'o beans, Daddy.

[Alan Brice]

You mean Pan 'o beans. ;-{)>

[FireMan]

Actually I do believe it was a can of corn, yessir.

[DavidNorcross]

I am in!

[klflowers]

Count me in. That is a list of great human beings.

[mrteddyprincess]

Bonesy is my beans master! I'll be doin' beans.

[bordercollie]

I'd be honored to participate.

Man, I wondered why I hadn’t seen any of Ernest’s drool worthy pics since my little break, definitely missed that news. A lot of good bbq brethren lost. Will always miss Bone’s always uplifting spirit with crazy spelling here. It may not have been spelled normal but you always knew what he meant.

[Spinaker]

He was one of the best cooks we ever had, a true legend.

[FireMan]

Yessir!

[SheilaAnn]

Ok, Pitmasters, those of you that know all the names listed above, were there any stand out signature dishes? For me, I only knew 3 of these awesome people.

Mr. Bones: beans. Hands down.
Ernest: I was always fond of his short ribs on risotto and those breakfast sandwiches.
PGH: I would have to check on previous posts, nothing jumps out as I type this.

Can anyone recall anything that really stood out?

[Alan Brice]

Okra?

[Alan Brice]

Glad somebody got my weak attempt

[Draznnl]

I’m planning to make some beef ribs and maybe a little pastrami in tribute.

[Spinaker]

I am in! I will be smoking some beef ribs! Looking forward to honoring these fine gents.

We'll be camping without service so I'll catch up late. Glad we honor their memory, especially with a cook.
