I agree but that doesn’t mean that some could not volunteer to come early and help out.

Mmmmmm. BBQ.

Mmmmmm. Cigars

Hmmmmm. CS Cigar-BQ...



(Maybe that'll draw a few from Virginia.)

I think hanging out to bbq would be part of the fun. Maybe we can also all chip in a few bucks to help out with the costs. BBQ can really happen!!!! Maybe we can move it from Feb. to October! Just kidding. I would be very excited if bbq happened. I don't mind coming in early and helping. LMK.

THis keeps looking better and better. . . I'd be willing to throw some cash into the pot. Any help I could provide, just let me know.

Someone say bbq?










hmmmmm

Well let's iron out what we want to do. A couple butts or shoulders I could do that on my grill. If you guys want to do an authentic full pig picking that's fine too. Expenses would be signifigantly higher as this will require...

A local gorilla with a trailer hitch to pick up and drop off the cooker as I sold my dodge ram earlier this month.
Pig cooker rental 90.00
90 lb pig 120.00
approx 70-80 lbs charcoal and Hickory 40 dollars
Table and chair rental 30.00
and one or 2 gorillas to help flip the pig during cooking.
I don't mind hosting this event at my home if we decide this is what we want to do. We could get a keg and make this the herf of the year!!!

I say whole pig. $300 done? 10 guys is $30 a piece. I think with a pig we will have more than 10 guys. Just a guess. I'll go with whatever you guys think. This is going to be awesome!

[Mister Moo]

I'd say you need 20 guys minimum signed up AND paid up to make it worth the effort. The question is - does Raleigh have 20-gorilla drawing power during MM3? We have time on our side to make the call.

We're nine short by my call

count me in !!
I can vouch for bigswol's pig cooking abilities. I've tasted it first hand.
P, I will be more than happy to pick up the cooker with my truck if need be. As the time approaches we can iron out the details.
It should be nice and cold in feb. There's nothing like standing around a cooker/fire, smoking a good cigar, and drinking your beverage of choice.

I'm not sure if I will be back in the states still on the 9th, but if I am I will definitely be there! Sounds like a HERF not to be missed!

[Mister Moo]

I'd say we have at least eight to go to justify bussing in butts, shoulders, charcoal, grill and hickory chips. For fairness to the folks who've already volunteered to shop, tote, cook, etc., if you SAY you're in you'll need to PAY your way in (in advance). Fabulous possibilities all for the cost of two fine cigars, approx. This is a bargain.

Who makes the dip?

mmmmmmm. hickory chips. love the smell of smoking hickory chips.

[motownflip]

I like the idea of paying in advance. It's all about commitment baby!

[shiek49er]

I wouldn't have an issue with "prepaying". Correct if I'm wrong, but bigswol mentioned $300 estimated cost for a full pig, not just butts. The whole pig is much much better. A minimum of 20 people would only be $15 a head. I'm sure we can round up 20 folks......it will probably be more like 30-40 once it's said and done.
Nevertheless, paying ahead of time is a good idea, so bigswol is not stuck footing the bill.
Damn, all this talk is getting me pumped up for feb.

ABSOLUTELY - Brian and Dan are 100% correct... pre-pay is the only way to protect Patrick. I'm in... We can send MO's to Pat. Thanks, guys!
