jack-DO, biggest billy, sausages in bacon, sausage meat and stuffing balls, very old Christmas pud, might feed 4? Bit of homemade charcoal left too.

There was an oak limb that Dark Horse Dave and I were chopping up last time not far from the site. Might be a bit soggy now, but it had been hung up in a tree when we started. We burnt the smaller bits last time. Will need a hand to bring it back though. Already got to have surgery on my ankle from long term damage. Don't need to compound the issue.

Hey Jack, I haven't forgotten those tracking course notes I mentioned last time. I've got them typed up, but want to do a bit more tidying myself before I get them across to you. I was planning to add a few illustrations as well. I'll let you know how I get on.

See you before too long,

Dave

If you're bringing 3 barrow loads of logs, I would say that's your wood collection done mate.

 

[hemdale]

Take care

Quelle domage! Enchanté de faire votre connaissance! Bon voyage et bon Nöel, mon ami!

 

[veryWildbill]

I can make this one, Can bring a gammon joint and assorted veggies

Also happy to join in the secret santa someone mentioned earlier.

ps The backs still a bit dodgy, and the tickers been playing up a bit recently, so I may cry of any physical exersion but I can prep and eat like a demon.

 

[jackcbr]

Hemdale - such a shame you can't make it, but best of luck for the future

VeryWild Bill - hope you've got a good chair, there's going to be lots of veggies to prep.

 

[spandit]

Have bought a 10lb turkey... Will need to get some charcoal now

no probs mate, as and when. Shame you can't make the Christmas meet, you'll be missed and not just for your kettle.

 

[jackcbr]

I'm hoping the ankle is going to let me up in the wood this weekend so I can process some wood. Going to try and make some Swedish logs to bring along and hope there is a bit of oak i can cut up. Also going to get the chute out and pop some ribbon on the 4 corner strings to make pitching it a bit easier, and make a peg mallet or two.

Well done Spandit, let me know what I owe and I'll settle up with you next time we meet.

 

[spandit]

I'm hoping if I bring it on the Friday it might defrost by the Saturday or should I put it in my sleeping bag?

Need a plan for getting the charcoal started. Think a hazel stick should be fine for the support. We'll need some thick foil, wide stuff. I'll also bring my meat thermometer to check it's all done. Must remember a small shovel to move the hot charcoal too.

Do we have a big pot for boiling veg in? Andy and Jack have Dutch ovens for spuds & pigs in blankets.

We'll also need a board to carve the turkey on (and a table!) - think knives won't be a problem but serving spoons might be an idea. Colander too and fat for basting (have a load of duck fat to get rid of!)

Have bought a big kettle of my own... think it's the same as Rico's one. Sadly I'll miss all my deliveries tomorrow
