VA/MD Second Annual Meat-UP

[HawkerXP]

Daffodils are starting to poke there heads through the permafrost. You know that means spring is just 2 months away!

[Mudkat]

And where there are daffodils, bacon wrapped jalapenos aren't far away!

[Mudkat]

Thought I'd bump this thread. The park still has two tent sites available. Anyone else interested? We are starting to make plans for this trip.

I just got back from the Shenandoha. This is a great time of year to camp!

[Thunder77]

Man, I just got rid of my tent, since I hadn't used it in about 5 years.

[Mudkat]

Lol! That's why I haven't thrown away my betamax.

[klflowers]

A little too far away for us. I know you guys are going to have a great time.

[Thunder77]

I'm looking into cabins...

[Mudkat]

If they are anything like the ones at the Shenandoah (same park system) I'll bet they're great! Thunder77

[BKYDBBQ]

I am the only person in my site and they allow two tents in each site so if anyone needs a tent site let me know...

Right now I am planning to bring my PBC and my 22" Blackstone...

[HawkerXP]

You have your cookers, any idea what you might do in / on them?

[Mudkat]

I am thinking of doing all cast iron for my cooks.

I can do one of these for a dinner, rump roast, jambalaya, or pizza. If Thunder77 is coming I'll leave the pizza to him! Respect.

Are any of you smoking a chicken or turkey? I can do special mash potatoes in the dutchoven for a side. I'll also do some Texas beans (not too hot this time HawkerXP in the DO if any ribs make the trip.

I think we each should take one nights main entree while others make sides.

Not a sermon. Just a thought.

I'm looking forward to your PBC cooks HawkerXP BKYDBBQ I have never had a meal from a PBC!



Texas beans in the DO.

[HawkerXP]

I have two, two man tents if you’d like to use one.

[Mudkat]

Jambalaya it is. It has to be Friday to keep the seafood fresh. Anyone alergic to shellfish? Scallops, shrimp, crawfish?

[BKYDBBQ]

I am good with Shellfish...I love me some Jambalaya...

[Thunder77]

Do you plan to be there for the whole weekend?

[HawkerXP]

We (Mud n Me) do Friday to Sunday. But feel free to do whatever works for you.

[HawkerXP]

3 nights. good for me.

[Mudkat]

Yes! 😀

[BKYDBBQ]

I'm coming Friday until Sunday

[BKYDBBQ]

I was thinking about an appetizer for one of the nights, either pork belly burnt ends or goose breast poppers (will depend on how much goose is still in the freezer)

Something I have that I can fix is a spiral sliced ham that gets smoked on the PBC and the glazed. I have done these a couple of times and they come out awesome. Since it is the weekend after Easter that might be fitting...I also do a pretty awesome turkey breast...I am still working on my rib process but they have been pretty good...So I am open for requests...

I will have my Blackstone and Bacon, Eggs and Sausage to cook on it in the mornings...

[Mudkat]

Smoked glazed ham..... hmmm..... yeah buddy!

[Mudkat]

Pork belly burnt ends appetizers. Yes. That'll do!

Btw... I like the avatar

[Thunder77]

Goose poppers! Yum!

[Mudkat]

Okay Thunder77 . You have a tent from HawkerXP and a site from BKYDBBQ I'll have an air matress and sleeping bag for ya. Are you in? I 'll throw in a bottle of whiskey if that's what it takes. 😀

[Mudkat]

After spending all night loading the truck I ready to head to the Meatup. James River State Park in VA. Come for a day if you'd like. We'll have plenty of food and good company. Sites 14 & 15 in Canoe Landing Area Primitive campsites. Not primitive at all.

We're there today Friday 4/26 - checking out Monday 4/29.

[T-bone]

Y'all have a great time! Sorry I can't make it this year.

[HawkerXP]

What happened to those two missing cases?
See you around 14;00.

[RonB]

I agree - have a great time.
