June 1, 2024 Chicago Mini Meatup Final Planning

[Murdy]

I will be out of town. Have fun everyone!

[barelfly]

Meathead talking about the Chicagoland Meatup!

[J-Melt]

Do you know what the timestamp is on when he talks about it?

[barelfly]

J-Melt - probably 40 minutes in or so, it was shortly after he showed a preview of the BBQ All-Star Videos. He was talking about the Pit and mentioned the upcoming event.

[J-Melt]

Found it! Thanks!

[J-Melt]

Do any of you coming on Saturday want a bag of pellets? My friend gave it to me because he assumed I could use it, but I don’t have a pellet pooper. Let me know!

[rmeugene]

If no one else takes it, I have a "pellet pooper" and would make use of it.

[J-Melt]

It’s yours rmeugene!

[rmeugene]

What should we be bringing other than our food contribution and what we plan on drinking? You want us to bring some plates/cups/cutlery? I have no issues bringing along a cup/plate/cutlery(being from my sons scouting days).

[J-Melt]

We will have cups, plates and cutlery for y’all!

[J-Melt]

Looks like likely rain in the forecast…😱

That being said, we will be set up for rain or shine! Bring your ponchos for smoking/cooking if needed and we will eat inside!

Hopefully the weather folks are wrong as usual, but we will be ready for them to be right.

Sounds like you will have a fun weekend! Keep us updated.

In the spirit of the my last posts, I can bring Milwaukee retro beers, too. I notice people don't offer beer. Is alcohol ok?

[J-Melt]

Alcohol is just fine! We don't have any on hand, unless you count the half inch of Kirkland vodka sitting in our pantry...but you are free to bring some!

[J-Melt]

I sent you a PM with details!

[LA Pork Butt]

It is almost here and the folks in Texas want to hear how it goes!

[Mosca]

I actually considered the 10 hour drive for this. I decided it was impractical, for a lot of reasons. But I did consider it.

[J-Melt]

10 hours is definitely a really long drive for just an afternoon!

[Mosca]

My sister lives in Wood Dale, I was going to try to make it a two purpose trip. But she and I still have a little fence mending to do.

[J-Melt]

Makes sense. If you ever make it out this way, let me know and we can get another mini meatup going!

[Draznnl]

Have a good time tomorrow all.

[Panhead John]

Yall have fun and don’t forget the Coors Light!……🤓

[J-Melt]

Please don’t make me drink colored water!!!! 😱

Can it be just Coors and not light???

[RichieB]

He's trying to infest the nation with his ???? Slowly, but moving forward I'm coming back. It's pretty much in the rear view mirror. One day at a time.

[mrteddyprincess]

One hour and 15 min south of our destination!

[LA Pork Butt]

It will be well worth the drive! Keep the Meat Up posts coming!

[J-Melt]

We have liftoff in the J-melt household! The charcoal for the Backwoods is getting lit before the rain gets hard and the girls have helped make some sugar cookies.

[Panhead John]

Alright J-melt! Y'all have fun today. Man, that grass you planted has really taken off!

[Jim White]

Looks like a good day ahead no matter what the weather does!

[mrteddyprincess]

We don't let the rain stop the cook!

[Panhead John]
