Roll Call. Inside 30 days. Manorville NY, Smokin At The Maples. Team list as of July 6

[early mornin' smokin']

i'd say it's more like an Hour, but well worth it! BTW, the long ireland guys have been telling everybody they'll be open in 2 weeks for about 4 months now. Peeked in there the other day and they weren't even close. Nice guys, great beer, but a little over promised and under delivered on the actual opening of the new brewery location.

I make Manorville to Orient Point taking Sound Avenue in 40 minutes. If you take the route through Riverhead it will take a lot longer.

 

[SmokeInDaEye]

I'm in for this one. Looking forward to it... is it worth the $ to take the ferry?

Are you the TV celebrity?

 

[Cue's Your Daddy]

I am bringing famous dave. The Ique Kryptonite

I leave that for you to decide. I specialize in cooking barbecue, not self promotion. I see from earlier in this thread you are pretty good at that, let me know when you are teaching a class. :boxing:

Hey now, don't be dragging us into this fight! We're going to New England for a family reunion and thought, "what the hell, it's only a few hundred miles out of the way, let's hit a KCBS contest while we're out there!" Looking forward to this one and meeting some of the the names we see but have never met!

I'll bring the Harpoon

 

[MikeR]

Sounds like it is shaping up to be some battle- :thumb: So who's planning on setting up Friday?

 

[Mrs. McFrankenboo]

I'll bring the Harpoon

You had me at Harpoon!

 

[Smoker'sLoungeBBQ]

We'll be setting up Friday night. And Clint, don't even start with the rain...we're 0 for 1 so far with the August contest, don't jinx it. On that subject though, we were talking the other night, what do you think was worse, Sayville '09 or Willie '11?

We'll be setting up on Friday night as well.
I wasn't at BOTB '09, but I'm willing to bet the weather at Willie '11 was worse.:rain:

 

[scm1226]

Both were crazy wet. I do think the Noah showed up with the Arc at both. But Willies 2011, those ez ups were flying like kites, don't remember that at BoBB in '09.
We are going to sweat like hogs heading to the slaughter house this year.
It's going to be Great!!!! What type of Irish whiskey does The Maple sell? That's a true sign of a good bar.

 

[biggs98]

Willie'11 and BOTB 09 were both bad but I think BOTB 09 takes it by a little bit cause of the mud and grass factor.....Let's hope if it rains it's only over Clint's setup:laugh:

Although we had noisy neighbors at Willie'11...Those Smokin Irish sure do get rowdy...:becky:

I would say BOTBB '09 but I was also fighting a cold at that one. And I had a river in my site that year.

Let's compare:

And don't forget BOTBB '08. That was a crazy storm coupled with a certain site fire.

Hey- I take offense to this, I smoke cigars and I'm Irish. Please try to practice a little PC. Thanks.

Just kidding- I'm proud of my abilities.
