2014 SmokerBuilder Gathering 101

Post by Clover Ridge Smokers » April 24th, 2014, 2:06 pm

The SmokerBuilder team will be hosting a gathering on June 27th, 28th and 29th 2014 at the new HQ in St. James Missouri. This will be a great opportunity for you to meet the SmokerBuilder team along with other members of our forum. This will be a social event along with a few classes.

We will start the gathering off with hands on Whole Hog 101 class late Friday afternoon. In this class you will learn how to properly trim, inject and season a hog. The Hog will be slow smoked Friday night and be ready for consumption on Saturday. We will need to charge a $20 fee for this class to cover our costs.

On Saturday we will be hosting a 101 class on starting a BBQ rub business. This class will be taught by a person who has helped several people not only develop their rub, but bring it to market successfully.

We are also planning on hosting a Q&A session on anything BBQ or pit building. Think of it as the SmokerBuilder forum “LIVE”. This will be a great opportunity for you to get your questions answered. For those of you who can’t attend, you will be able to post your questions on the forum and we will answer them real time.

For those of you who might be flying in, St. James is located just over an hour from St Louis, MO.

If you have questions, post them here or send a PM to Frank Cox or Clover Ridge Smokers.

More information will be coming as the date gets closer.

Hope to see you there.
Team SmokerBuilder

This is just a terrific plan.... I wish I would be able to attend.... Video? PayPerView? Skype? Maybe you have to record it and sell the DVD...! This kind of information just is not available in too many places


Make no mistake, there ain't no powder in this Puff ! And... I'm not really a crazy person but I play one in real life

Puff, you just need to bite the bullet and make the trip. Just think how much fun you will have meeting the people you've had a cyber relationship with for the past year.

NO Argument.... Just cannot go this year as MUCH as I would LOVE to. I'm thinking that with all the tech stuff in the world today, I can do almost everything but smell it, on line ! ( HAHA)

Just thinking out loud... I do that too much some times. On the other hand, my brother took many of those "thoughts " to heart and we've been working together for over 34 years as a result.

I really would love to jump in the truck and go.

AR_Senior and I will try to make it. I have a catering gig on the 27th maybe I'll pull out hot and head that way.


Nothing I like more than to kick back with a Zima and a Virgina Slim reading 50 Shades of Grey with DCman (The Czar).
