Veterans Christmas!

[aawa]

I have to wait till Friday to donate to you guys. But I didn't forget.

Thanks for doing some to honor the Veterans that have sacrificed so much for our country.

 

[Diesel Dave]

Thanks again everyone.
Any donation whenever is greatly appreciated, no rush. We do 7 cooks a year so there is always another one in the works.

Our Vets deserve to be treated right and thanked, so we do what we can to do that. Cooking is something we are good at, so we're told lol, and they enjoy the food and company from people who care.

Well we have had a lot of donations of time and funds.
The Great Lakes BBQ Association made a very generous donation yesterday, Thank You all!!!!

You guys and gals have really lightened the load on Tom and I and it is greatly appreciated. Both by us and the Veterans that will be enjoying these meals we cook for them. BBQ folks are some of the greatest there are, hands down,

I picked up the 72 racks of baby backs this morning and 84 lbs of thighs/drums. Man that is alot of meat! Dave already got the briskets, and beans, mac n cheese makins.





Now if it wasn't single digits out side, I could keep this stuff in the garage till sat :doh:
Forcast is 3 to 4 inches of snow sat ( we already have 10"), temps starting in the teens and warming up to 36 degrees with rain... Fun times! :biggrin1:

[Diesel Dave]

Yup that's a lot of meat!!

Got the brisket for today finished last night along with the ribs for today's lunch in Toledo and the great Veterans there. Got to get the sides done here in a few minutes.

Once again thank you to all who donated it is greatly appreciated.
I'll add a couple pics of todays event tonight or in the morning.

Thank you guys for taking care of the the Veterans.

 

[Diesel Dave]

Thanks a lot Brother Pat :thumb:and we do our best Ren. It's how we say thank you to them for what they've done for us. A good meal and some conversation does a lot for us and them

Here's some pics from yesterday




Thanks again to all who have donated to help us out funding these cooks

 

[Diesel Dave]

Getting ready to roll out to the Detroit homeless Veterans cook in just a few.
Got 5 briskets resting in the cambro and a mess of food we'll prepare there.

Thanks again everyone for all your help

 

[Neil]

Bump!

 

[OferL]

Great effort for a great cause!

 

[ebijack]

I can't thank Qbert60, his friends Tom and Mark enough for all their help today!
What a day, we started off shoveling snow there. Got the smokers set up and warming up.

Anyone know this little guy? :biggrin1:

Of course that is Jojo, the man in charge and Amanda!
Here is Dave, Tom, Bert and Mark

Ah HA.. there is that sneaky Smoke Ninja! And Qbert60 (Bert)

Here is some ribs. Using the warming part we fit 40 racks of babybacks into the Shirley. The others went into Marks smoker.

A few hours into the cook light rain turned into freezing rain for the rest of the cook.
I'm hoping everyone makes it home safe!
Thanks to all who donated!
And another big thanks to everyone who worked today to make this happen!
I'm beat and it is beer time!
