Hallett and the smoker challenge... GRUB UP!

It's come up a couple of times already - what to eat at Hallett. No offense to Connie and the cafe...

Sean and I were at the Orange is Fast! gararge last night, mounting up brand-spanking-new RRs onto lightweight cheater wheels (and unloading 3k lbs of 6X12 1/2" i-beam with tow straps, friction, physics, and a couple of engine hoists) and as usual, the topic of food came up.

Our current thought is that he will bring his brand-spanking-new Traeger grill with him.

I'm thinking a rib-fest for Friday night (can get 4 racks done at once) and some brisket (I think we can get about 20lb of brisket on at one time) for Saturday. Maybe cookies for desert.

Texas guys should bring enough for the out of towners to just stumble over with something for the Princess Cups(tm).

HALLETT GRUB and GRAB

1) Richardson - SAT smoker/pellets brisket
2) Francis/James - FRI pellets - 2 racks ribs - potato chips??
3) English - SAT sausage/beans
4) The Claw - SAT night sides
5) Jordans - SAT night something
6) Pattersons - FRI ribs/chips
7) Mosties - FRI/SAT buffalo chicken dip/chips
8) McCormicks - SAT sides of choice (how fortuitous is the code for the cool smiley being at McCormicks?)
9) Crumpackers - SAT jalapeno popper dip
10) Lyons - dessert
11) need some paper plates / plasticware / paper towels
...

No pressure to join Stormtrooper and OiF, but don't come beggin' scraps. Bartering with refreshments though... highly encouraged.

I can do sausage and beans if you think they would go with ribs. They eat beans for breakfast over here.
You would think they are on cattle drive or something.

I see-already better dealing us.......just kidding as hope you are seeing some family which you will be with family at Hallett.

I'm always in for a group dinner and after TWS know Francis can grill. What would you like me to bring and for what night? I can do sides. If you are willing to do a brisket then I would be happy to pay for it-never bought a brisket that wasn't already cooked so you might want to pick the cut? Let me know and I'll come up with something.

Let me know also. If the wife stays with the grandson Jay and I will eat with you guys. If the wife goes she will want to cook.
Maybe I can get some of the sausage Frank brings.

I bought a new Saber grill yesterday. Way different then the Traeger but I don't cook brisket.

I owe Sean an offline response from this wekeend.

FRI - I'm think ribs/chips/beverage... couple racks with some chip/dip/drink works for me

SAT - Brisket/sausage/beans... open to suggestions: tortillas/guacamole/shredded cheese/potato salad/corn/green beans

Not offended in anyway if it just ends up being a small group either. No pressure... maybe there will be leftovers. Or not.

Let me know what we can bring for whatever night. Raegan can bring a buffalo chicken dip + chips for either Friday or Saturday. If there is anything else needed we can plan for that too.

I can bring popper dip for Saturday if someone has space to heat/bake it.

This new RV does not have a full size oven. It has a microwave/convection combo.

How long and at what temp? The brisket should rest a while anyway so while it's getting it's act together we could put it in the smoker.

UPDATED in first post too:

1) Richardson - SAT smoker/pellets brisket
2) Francis/James - FRI pellets - 2 racks ribs - potato chips??
3) English - SAT sausage/beans
4) The Claw - SAT night sides
5) Jordans - SAT night something
6) Pattersons - FRI ribs/chips
7) Mosties - FRI/SAT buffalo chicken dip/chips
8) McCormicks - SAT sides of choice (how fortuitous is the code for the cool smiley being at McCormicks?)
9) Crumpackers - SAT jalapeno popper dip
10) Lyons - dessert
11) need some paper plates / plasticware / paper towels

FRI Summary - 4 racks of ribs / chips / dips - ribs will fill the smoker for 6 hours. If we take them off 30-45 minutes before we eat (officially) we can put more stuff on

SAT Summary - 10-12lb of brisket / maybe minor leftover ribs / beans / sausage / popper dip / buffalo chicken dip / chips
- maybe some tater salad?
- beers / soda / water / beer / liquor / gatorade / beer

Will also have a chance to review the Sat menu on Friday evening.

Oh, and everybody bring your GoPros, etc.

Just grabbed a loaf of bread, tortilla chips, and some guac dip. Also got more beer than I plan to drink. Figured these are items that would run out quick.

I can probably make one more run to Kroger in the am before I rollout. Anything else?

Excellent plan. He stuck to my bumper in the final until he had a perceived mechanical issue last year. :D

There's your problem Stig. Always plan to drink what you bring and like we say at home; knock with your feet......

Step 1: steal beer from Pranav.

Step 2: trade stolen beer for delicious BBQ.

Step 3: eat like a king.
