Can someone describe what the 'bash' is all about and also what someone that might want to attend (such as me) should do or bring? I live less than 10 miles from Livermore and this bash sounds like a fun day. As far as smoking some meat, I have an electric Masterbuilt Smokehouse (MES40) so not sure that this would be something easy to bring along and use. A cooler full of bear would be much easier to bring :-D.
I can't imagine a cooler full of bear would be easier to haul that a smoker, but, perhaps it is not a whole bear. Then again, a whole bear would probably require more than one cooler.:mrgreen:
Actually, the Bash is simply a big party, mostly we ask that folks bring something, beer would be fine, there is almost always way too much food. It is really about a bunch of folks who love BBQ getting together and talking Q. I highly recommend attending, as it is a good time. Everything from MOINK balls to a beef tenderloin stuffed with lobster has been made, and then there were the deep fried biscuits stuffed with biscuits and gravy, which, if you haven't actually had a 3BGB, I am sad for you.\
This year, we are moving to a new venue, Dave Bart's new BBQ shop, in Livermore, with a large staging area and parking lot. We will miss the hot beer maidens from Tap 25, but, there will be lots of space.
