Sounds good. George and I - I believe - are kinda caravanning over to the game from Orlando area. I will see what his plans are then figure it out from there.

Cool! Just let me know.

@Selassie I is taking the lead on the tailgate. He would be a better contact about what to bring.

The game is at 4:00. I think we are planning on getting together around noon.

@iced

If I remember correctly, you live near Tampa right? Most everyone else is making too long a trip to need to worry about bringing food. Since you're so close,,, having you bring some grub would be very cool.

I'm planning on going fishing on Saturday before the game with hopes of catching some fresh dolphin to bring and blacken... but I'm definitely going to be bringing some conch salad. Food will be served one way or another. Drinks will be flowing a plenty.

Hopefully we'll see you there with something off your smoker.

Wait a minute! We can bring stuff for the smoker to the tailgate?

 

[Selassie I]

I don't know if he meant that he was going to bring his smoker out to the game.

I'll bring a gas grill... unless we get a bunch of dolphin to blacken. But hey, maybe I'll bring the grill any way.

I was messing around on the whole "smoker" thing.

Let's talk in the next week or so @Selassie I . It's not right for you to sponsor so much of this. We may have to pick something up since we'll be at a hotel but we're glad to do so.

 

[Selassie I]

Right on. We'll figure it all out.

You guys staying in Tampa on Saturday night?

 

[iced]

yea.. I live in Sarasota, I'm about an hour drive away...well, 45 minutes if I'm driving...double that if my girlfriend is driving

I can fit a lot of food in there so throw some idea's at me.... i don't mind wrapping something in aluminum foil and bringing it... already have some ideas - chop up some of the smoked pork loin i have and throw it in with some baked beans.. could pick up ribs or a pork butt, loin, a whole chicken, chicken thighs, etc.

just let me know - i'll make the shit delish


and just to tease....

I made this video for a buddy who was thinking about dropping the dough on one of these smokers - https://www.facebook.com/ajax/messaging/attachment.php?attach_id=9dc335b796bd8392c7bed6e2ee452d12&mid=mid.1408325283435:45e973a30751885636&hash=AQDLKnpEbfmtffEW

Yes, we are. See page 7 of this thread. @RamFan503 was thinking maybe we'd all stay at the same hotel.

 

[Selassie I]

Looks good. So you'd be cooking at home and bringing the food right?

 

[RhodyRams]

I wont be staying anywhere in the area. I have a place down in Naples and will be traveling up to Tampa for the game. Might have to put a damper on post game activities also since I will be in the middle of a bath room remodel while I am there. Counter top guys are coming the next Monday morning at around 8 a.m.
