Heard from Keith that the food was fantastic. Usually don't camp but just might need to do so inorder to get in on the great food :cheers:

Oh yeah... might even fish

Sounds like a decent trip... I might have to put this on the calendar.

I fished with backwaterbound last time you guys camped. I am always down for some more fishing. If possible I will shoot a hog at my lease and we can do a pig roast? Keep me updated.

I've talked with Jim (backwater bound) I believe he informed you the he and I are planning on being there. Just wanted to make sure. Just let me know what I need to bring.

Thanks,
Ed

RSVP'd and looking forward to it. I know chef will have some yummy surprises up his sleeve. Not sure if you have all the meals planned yet chef, if not I like Mikes idea of having a pig roast one of those nights. Been a while since I've had some fresh hog. That chicken pailla was killer last time down, somehow I think you'll be one upping yourself this time.

islandspeed2001, definatly hope you can make this trip.

PortOrangeRed , i'll let you know on the hog. i actually just spoke to the guy i get pigs from this morning. but these are not wild hogs. these are farm pigs.

jyj, we will see you there.

let me know what sites you guys line up. would be nice to get a good turn out for sure.

i'll be putting a meal plan together over the next week or so. i'm mainly waiting to hear back from the farmer. i know for sure i'll be making the chicken piaya, jambalaya, and bbq chicken just not sure weather we will have a whole pig or just a whole bone in pork loin roast. it may depend on how many people end up at tomoka. if i can get a 40 to 60 pound pig it might be a go.. all of the whole pigs i have cooked in the past that have been at about 85 lbs or above have taken between 16 to 24 hours to cook. although i do enjoy cooking i'm not sure i want to tend a pig for a whole day. we will see.

glad to see the responce for sure.

Dang! This sounds great but we have a HOW event that weekend. Have fun and report back with pictures of the yummy food.

Chef - just let me know on the pig. If you need me to get a small one, I will. or if you already have something lined up, thats cool too.

Either way it going to be a blast.

does anyone have any access to sheets of burlap. 6ft x 6ft or close to that.
i've been researching cooking a pig in a pit/hole.
looks do-able for sure.
thanks

I would like to do this trip but hard to say this far head if ill be out at sea working. If im home ill come. It would be worth it just to meet a few more guys from the site. Jim maybe you could remind me closer to the date?
Chef google Cajun Microwave, china box, or caja box all term refer to the same whole pig cooking device. Much easier and faster than putting a pig in the ground. I have seen the Caja boxes used but don't own one(yet). Or i could bring my Orion cooker smoker that with smoke 3 large pork butt to falling apart in just 5 hours.

thank you for the tip seadog.
i had a guy telling me about this thing while tail gating at a concert in west palm but i was too intoxicated to remember most of the conversation. as soon as the picture of the caja came up i had a flash back. i might have to order one of these. thanks again , hope you can make tomoka in november
