Time to get it going. Hope someone has a list from the past that they can post.
I have the oil from Fall Camp in the freezer. I'll polish it about a week before camp.

Keep it in the freezer..i will buy fresh oil...this is too good a group to use old oil..
Jimmy....You might want to just make your own list because nobody knows what you want because you mentioned haveing a different meal instead of the usual fish fry. So, nobody knows what you need.
Rusty was the only one to bring any meal up in the last thread, fish. So crappie it will be, I don't have any. I'll figure out a list and post it.
New oil, Stay Clear, get it at Sam's or a restaurant supply for $20 per jug. Will need 9 gallons, 2 jugs if one cooker is used. 18 gallons, 4 jugs if 2 cookers are used. Depends on how many come.
Anyone make their own Flex Fuel? I have 2 jugs of Stay Clear that I've used over the last 7 years and 2 jugs mixed with veggie oil that are about 6 months old.
I will bring 10 gallons...We definitely need two cookers...cooking took way too long last time.. Also real hard on the cooks. You guys worked your butts off last time.
We got a late start and did a fast catch up. Fire bug and I didn't know we would be master cooks.
Need a bigger cooker if you are going to do fish for 75 to 100 people, the cooker we have is nice but it is not built to cook that much fish in a hurry. Fish cooking should take 30 to 40 minutes tops, take longer for the oil to cool than to cook the fish.
Not complaining Cane...You guys did a great job...I know allot of that just happened...I have cooked for large groups..a thankless task at best..I personally like the pot luck deal the best..Less stress on everyone...
Just a thought, we are going to do pulled pork and brisket and maybe a turkey for Illinois camp this spring. We did pork for fall camp and everyone loved it and there wasn't any work to it. Put it in the Masterbuilt and took it out 23 hours later and shredded it and was ready to go. It takes 4 or 5 people working for 2 or 3 hours with setting up, cooking and clean up and its hard to keep everything hot. Its the way to go trust me.
Thats right and we have been useing two cookers like that and still takes a long time. The two biggest complaints that I got was....its too late when we finally eat and, it takes too long to give out the door prizes.Quote:

Whatever is decided is good with me, hope to be there and if I am able to will do what I can to help.
So...lets take suggestions to simplify what we are doing...more minds are better than one
I think Jimmy has some ideas.......you guys figure it out.....I am a old man now, will be 71 in about two and a half weeks so you younger folks figure something out and I will come eat. :peacesmileQuote:

We have members that bring their smokers to camp and a few good crock pot cookers among us. We want to go for shoulders, it's fine with me. I can bring a smoker and have a picnic or 2 cooking. Someone may want to bring a picnic and use someone's smoker. As early as we eat it would have to be cooked friday, partly cooked friday/night and finished saturday morning.
Debbie use to put a picnic in the crock pot in the morning. After work remove the meat from the rest. Add some BBQ sauce and cook for about an hour. It was good and juicy. A facebook friend always post crock pot meals. She posted a peach cobbler made with a cake mix, I'll try it.
Just make your own plan like you want it and lets go with it.....and end all the confusion....then make up your supply list and it will all work out. I will PM you a copy of old supply list and you can remove what we do not need.Quote:

What im bringing will go with whatever is decided. Pot luck, fish, or a combo. Yum, yum.
E-Z is an expert cobbler tester...better make two
Jimmy.....check your PM's
We can do pork, Mike said he did 2 picnics last spring and had very little left over. So we get 2 or 3 people to cook a picnic with different recipes. Each person will clean and chop the meat and deliver to the site. 2 picnics will fit in a smoker if someone wants to double up. I'll cook one and have space for someone else. Save the crappie cooking for fall camp.
G, thank you.
Now do we cook fish or smoke pork? Fish will have a few of us tied up cooking and prepping while the pork will give us all more time to visit.
I'll start the supply list for pork.
What do you mean by "I am an old man now"? Hell, you was old when you got off the Ark.:RoflQuote:

I know about carrying extra heavy stuff that gets a one time use or not at all.Quote:

My son cooks bacon in the oven. I tried it in the smoker with hickory and cherry chips added. It takes longer, but has a better taste.
Add your picnic to the supply list and we can get together later.
To try to cut down on confusion....I am going to lock this thread......post on the other supply list thread in sticky......and please try to stick to the subject. Satdoc and I will keep that thread updated for cane breaker and we will be deleting posts after each update so it will be easier to keep up with. I will unstick this in a couple days and let it roll off the page.
