Cookout at the Northport VA Aug. 24 Question

[lhommedieu]

I'd like to try this because I'm a newbie smoker and would like to give back to the VA for all the helpful advice given here. Also - my wife starts her internship at the VA that week.

Just wondering about a couple of things:

1. I think that the thread mentioned that the VA supplies the meat, and that we can supply rubs, sauces, etc. Will we know beforehand what cuts of meat, and when we'll receive it?

2. I currently using a DigiQ II with a fan. Will we have access to electrical outlets or should I plan on learning how to use my UDS using the vents and thermometer?

Best,

Steve

Based on last year . . .

Suffolk County Police Veterans Association bought the meats.

The BBQ Brethren supplied sauces/rubs.

Cookers used were a few large capacity cookers. Poobah (Phil Rizzardi) coordinated that.

Some just have to show up becaue there are a lot of hands needed to prep and fill the cookers.

They'll be more details as we get closer.

Some of the most rewarding fun time you will ever have.

Last year we cooked I don't know how many chicken quarters, around 10 big briskets I think and over 60 racks of ribs, not to mention 10 or 12 pans of baked beans, lots of dogs and burgers too.
