Wade Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 We have suggested this in previous years but have never quite got our act together to actually do it... Would anyone be interested in any demonstrations (watching or giving) for the Saturday. We could even open these up to others on the campsite. The ones I could suggest are: Home made smoked salmon Home bacon curing Smoking nuts Preparing a fatty (sausage bomb) I am happy to do any/all of the above but am happy is someone else is keen too Any other suggestions/volunteers for demos? Just remember that the Saturday can be quite hectic for people preparing their meats (I extend this to the whole week before in Justin's case 😀 ) so don't feel pressurised. If we don't feel that there is sufficient interest then we can spend more time drinking beer . Also - thoughts on possibly holding a raffle for Charity? Maybe the "let us cover some of the costs of running the Forum" charity... Seriously, We have held a raffle before when one of our fellow Forum administrator's (from SMF) wife died of cancer. All the money we raised went to Cancer Research. We could look to do something similar for another charity this year. Again, no pressure - just a suggestion. If we were to do this then donated prizes would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Also happy to do smoked salmon demo. I gave a side of salmon to smoke but it would need curing 24 hours before and i usually let it rest a couple of days before slicing. That said in Blue Peter style i do have a pack already done too so sampling is possible. Can do smoking nuts too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Monkey Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I’ve got a Jumbuck 57cm BBQ still boxed, (a little battered) I will put that in. @Mack do you do gift vouchers, would be happy to give £20.00 on a voucher. I have a small Pork Loin we could cure for Bacon and let someone who is interested take it home. I wonder if we could get a signed book from Marcus?

David Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I’m happy to donate something but would have to buy on Amazon and then get it delivered to someone’s address who is going as I can’t make it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Good set of prizes. Who will run raffle and has tickets? How will we sell them wider into the campsite. What pricing?We need a sign advertising it so people know what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I think a raffle should be ok. We had a summer fate at my boys preschool, and they did a raffle with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Finding a Tri-tip can be difficult in some areas so we thought let's give one as a prize in the raffle??. It will be in the travel fridge for the hour it take us to Billing, then it'll be safe in @Smokin Monkey trailer fridge, until Sunday morning, who ever wins it would only have it for the journey home...so bring a cold box..

Smokin Monkey Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 A raffle will be ok. We are not running the national lottery! There will be no Raffle posters, no suppliers advertising apart from packaging. People will only be asked to buy a ticket who visit the cooking area and show an interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 How much for tickets. Fiver ir tenner a strip? How much trying to raise. Hopefully more than the prize pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
