Seriously, i've gotta list with some real cool farkers on it and there's always room for more.

Make what you're best at. At the spring bash everybody made what they're good at and we all got to eat some fantastic food.

Whoa! Pharr is...well...pharr!
Phubar approves oph your town's name.
Yep, cook something you do well and all will be good. If you have a non-traditional specialty you are good at, that's a bonus for the rest of us :wink:

Yep, this. I had some great Q at the last bash, but my favorite thing was the gyros that Peeps made in his smoker, followed by his smoked bourbon pecan pie.
The only thing to be careful of is making too much food. We had a bunch of brisket that didn't get devoured like everything else at the last bash because three of them came off the smoker pretty close to each other, and everybody was already bursting at the seams. Don't try to feed the whole crowd a meal, figure on giving 20 people a taste (a couple slices of brisket, a couple bones of ribs, a gyro, whatever). Bonus if you do something fairly quick-cooking so it can be part of lunch. By dinner time everybody was showing signs of meat sweats.

*IF* I can make the trip, I'll bring some of my wife's Korean Ribs. Twenty to thirty minutes to cook over direct heat. Should be great for lunch. If that is the only thing I end cooking, I might not bring my WSM unless someone else needs it. We'll see. Can always delegate it as a fatty smoker...
I'll need a link to Google maps for the park and some info as to whether we can bring our two small mutts. Is there a cheap hotel in the area? If not, I'll look into borrowing a tent from a friend.

There are some hotels around I-35 and 380 in north Denton and probably some in Sanger.

Is lookin for wood to cook with.
I'd love to join you all plus I'll bring my new smoker. This smoker is pretty big, so I got plenty of room if anyone needs some space. And I'm up for a little friendly competition, I'm sure I'd learn a thing or two. Since I'm new to this, what do you all usually bring to cook?
peeps

In the Spring I did a couple breakfast fatties with biscuits, a lamb loaf, and a pecan smoked bourbon pecan pie. Last fall I did a stuffed breakfast fatty, pig shots, and a pork butt.
There will be way too much food, as always, so it is really up to you. Try something new and different or do the thing you do best. Or use us as an audience to perfect something you have struggled with...

Thanks Peeps. I "mentioned" about this trip to the wife and she actually thought it sounded fun. We'll see how things go. Do y'all normally show up Friday or Saturday? Looking at Google, if we woke up really early, we could be there by lunch Saturday, but we are both pretty much night people due to our jobs, so not sure how that would work. We'll have to see how it goes.

"If" you come, warn me if there is any sesame used in the Korean ribs. I'd hate to interrupt the bash by going into shock. :wacko:
peeps

Some folks camp starting Friday, some folks camp starting Saturday, some show up early Saturday, some show up before lunch on Saturday. All depends on if you are cooking and what you are cooking and how long you can stand to hang with us farkers! :wink:
