It's BBQ Time again! Also, at a recent meetup someone mentioned that another cocktail event would be fun - so let's combine the two!
I plan on smoking a pork roast and a chicken. Anyone else who wants to provide additional things to be smoked, MeMail me ahead of time so we can coordinate (I'd need at least 2-3 days notice). Otherwise people can bring hors-d'oeuvres or side dishes such as salad, veggies, potatoes, dessert, ...you know the deal.
At a guess, I'd think bourbon-, scotch-, or tequila-based drinks would pair well with BBQ, or I'm sure you can find plenty of suggestions online. I'll start a spreadsheet for food and beverage ingredients soon, and post a link here.

November's fine with me. I had a suspicion that might be better scheduling anyway, but I wanted to include all possibilities.

I kinda think we should combine this and the other into one colossal meetup.

I'm completely unsure of which weekends may or may not work, so I think I'll hold out for the consensus and plan accordingly.

It looks like the other meetup is possibly settling on the third weekend in November, leaving us to choose from the first (11/1 or 11/2) or second (11/8 or 11/9) weekends. Does anyone have a preference? Saturday? Sunday? Can't do certain days? Shall I flip a coin and let the chips fall where they may, to mix a metaphor?

We're busy the 8th, but any of the other three would be fine.

A Saturday late-afternoon start would be my preference, I think. I'm flexible on dates.

Then that would be November 1, unless people prefer Sunday the 2nd or 9th. Speak up...

This is coming up in less than a week, but unless more people sign up I may need to cancel it.
Also (assuming it's not cancelled), I'll remind anyone who plans to bring meat for smoking that they'll need to let me know pretty soon.

I have switched to a yes! (because meat is my favorite!)
I will bring a nice fall salad and maybe some deviled eggs.

I will bring some sort of a side dish that wants to be near smoked meat. It might be a vegetable (read: brussels sprouts), or else a mac-and-cheese.

I'm in, I'll bring brisket if I can manage it (I fly back from Chicago Thursday and this will be my first weekend home in two weeks).

If I get around to making it, I'm going to bring a quinoa squash pomegranite salad. If not, I'll bring something that I didn't have to plan ahead to make!

My house also has a certain smoky savory atmosphere!
I bought some rye, I figured we could make Manhattans.

I made a Big Mac and cheese, but am now felled with disease so I won't be seeing y'all today. Enjoy the meats and liquors.

To make up for that, I can smoke some brisket.
