Re: BBQ Update

Be sure to put last year's t-shirts on the grill for the proper burn marks. Then charge extra for doing so.

Re: BBQ Update

I'll be new to the BBQ and DC this year, so I don't have past experience to guide my questions:

- What food runs out first? What's the highest demand?
- How long does the BBQ last for?

Depends on what you bring and what your willing to share. Most people bring hamburgers, brats, and dogs. My group normally brings the above the items along with buns, don't forget buns. We always bring extra so others that might not have brought enough can still enjoy some food, plus the leftover goodies get taken back for the Goons who had to work during the BBQ.

Some folks bring steaks, but I'll let someone who has brought steaks in the past let you know what they did or what happened.

- How long does the BBQ last for?

Till the police show up and kick us out of the park or we leave on our own, which ever one happens first.

Feeding goons is a great way to buy insurance for your stay at Defcon! (Google "Androcles and the lion")

They remember the hand that feeds them.

Myself and the other members from Titanium Chef's Team Smoke will be supplying some Smoked Pork Ribs and Chicken. We are planning on doing about 20 racks of ribs and 10 yard birds so there will be more than enough food to go around for anyone who wants to try it.

And just to make sure the goons get fed, we will fix up a tray to take back to the Riv. Is there anyone who can assist us in getting that food to them?

Re: BBQ Update

Wasn't part of the problem last year that we did not have some type of permit for a public gathering?

Yup, that is what is being worked on resolving at tbbq central.

Also of note from prior comment, I don't believe feeding the goons is 100% payoff.. being an asshat will still bring their wrath, but sending them booze and food makes them less likely to single you out as a squeak toy.

I currently plan to have a rental car there and would be happy to take a load of food back to the goons.

I'm very much in as well. I'll need a ride from the Riv though.

As a Goon of several years, I attended my 1st TBBQ last year. I also brought some steaks, a case of beer, a bag of charcoal (don't forget charcoal for the grill), some paper plates and plastic cutlery.

Godminusone cooked my Ribeyes, and did an AMAZING job of preparing them with an awesome dry rub, and cooked them perfectly. If you bring steaks, be prepared to WAIT for the cooks to get to them, as they are working on some very large grills, with approximately 20-30 lbs of meat over the fire at any time. Please remember to respect and tip your cooks. (bringing them beer and water helps.)

Lastly, I have an idea for the TBBQ committee, the guys who cooked last year were really getting cooked (no pun intended) by the heat output of the grills. Someone should find some aluminized aprons, or nomex aprons to keep the heat off of them...

Can you add me to the bbq mailist...

Shortly after last con, I did a remake of the Toxic BBQ website, its all ready to go, just lacking details as far as time, place, ect.. Past info that was still relevant has been move over into the new site. Assuming you guys still have the login info from last year, accounts are still valid and you should be able to login to update content.

The T-shirts were somewhat a bust last year.. I still have a box of them. So hopefully some of them left over will go this year.
