2018 National Smokers and BBQ Weekend. Billing Aquadrome. 20-22 July

Too big and it gets too impersonal. We discourage competition too so that nobody feels that their food is not good enough. We have been approached by distributors and sponsors wanting to attend but have declined them as we do not want it to become commercially driven. Advertising has been very low key however we may do some national advertising for next year - but we want to keep organisation costs to a minimum so that we no not have to charge an attendance fee.

Please will some brings some big King Edward potatoes?  For hasselback potatoes with garlic butter and Parmesan. 10 should be enough to share out   a little of each out. I will bring the other ingredients.

Ok I have decided to have bone out of shoulder so I can cut it in half and put on both racks.  Prefer with bone but space....blade end so upper shoulder, 3.5 to 4kg, picking up tomorrow, have checked. Thanks for the advice

Ok..no Hickory which I thought I'd got ...but I do have Oak chips...one Jim Bean t'other one J D.. ?   will bring both if ant good??

We can bring jacket spuds but the chance of them being King E  is most unlikely,  in fact, it's probably not a snowball chance in hell.  9_9  :D

And if anyone has oak wood or hickory woods chips please may I steal a few to smoke some artichokes and peppers, I only have chunks

I will bring along some Hickory pellets - I may be able to find one or two... ?

Almost all of my commercial smoking is done with Hickory so I have plenty...

For those that didn't make it to Woodsmoke18 you missed an amazing experience.

Fully agree. Best time I have for a while. So glad to meet so many like m8nded and inspiring people. It was real pleasure to cook with you guys and gals. Delicious food. Comfortable relaxing. Refreshing..  Roll on northern tailgate.   Really hope to see more new people there for a good time....i rediscovered cider too. Thank you!

We're now home,  car unpacked,  full tummy  and a drop of the hard stuff in hand....here goes, with what happened at Woodsmoke 18... (I thought that was right Steve ???) ?

First off a really big thank you to everyone there,  it was great making new freinds as being a newbie at any get together  can be a little daunting. 

We arrived about 15.30 on Friday,  we stopped at the reception and eventually go showed to where we had to setup. Within  minutes Steve & Jill turned up,  followed by Justin, very soon we had Steve & Paul staying in a pod.  Scott was not far behind,  then I lost track of time as we went mad erecting tents,  gazebos getting everything ready for the big day.....by now Mr & Mrs Wade along with everyone else had arrived.

No rain for Friday,  or so the weather app said.....don't TRUST them....it pi***d down,  (video to follow   ?)  just as we  we're all getting comfortable chatting and partaking of the falling down water.  Well not one drop of rain was going to spoil our weekend, we may have got a smidgen damp,  but hey as the old adage says " we where as happy as pigs in muck'   ?

Saturday dawned dry and hot,   after a great breakfast prepared by Justin & Ice Ice Lady we all set about prepping  meats/ingredients and starting smokers. . ...more to come.

A big welcome I hope to the Filipino lady in background of last photo. I had a good chat with her and he partner, hopefully she will join the forum and introduce herself and her Filipino cooking skills.

Nice photos Ice.
