BBQ Pork, please!

I've been sick the last two days, so I'm rethinking the standing over the electric skillet for 20 minutes with a runny nose. Thinking instead about getting a package of Costco hotdogs/buns, so people could make chili dogs. Like I said above, I wasn't planning on bringing my generator unless it was necessary since I no longer have a truck and was planning on driving a sedan. Really don't want the wife to kill me for the inside of the new CRV smelling like gas. It looks like Toys in the Toybox is bringing a quiet generator and Golddigger is bringing a loud one (I'll bring a couple long heavy duty cords). I'll bring two 1/2 gallon thermos' with filled with hot coffee. Can still bring the small propane heaters and propane stove.

As long as you show up we will be happy. Have a tea/lemon/honey/whiskey hot toddy, and you'll be fine. :cheers2:

Planning to throw a pot roast in the crock pot, heading to the store to get a few incidentals, anything else needed that isn't covered already?

I'll bring something. Not sure what yet but I can at least bring a couple dozen donuts and a jug of coffee to start us out.

I have Mass at 8AM then plan on driving down there afterward.

I didn't see anything about anyone bringing: paper plates, bowls, coffee cups, plastic spoons/forks, etc. Is someone already bringing any of those? I've got about 20 ea spoons/forks, and about 15-12 oz bowls. Instead of bringing hot dogs and the big tabletop stove/grill/griddle (that will take up 1/2 a table) I'm thinking I'll bring the little one burner stove, tea kettle and 2.5 gallons of water. I'll bring my coffee pot and two 1/2 gallon thermos'(one for coffee and one for hot water). I'm thinking with the cold weather more people are going to want something warm to drink. I'll also be bringing a bunch of Spiced Cider and Hot Cocoa mix. I have plenty of lids for the 20 oz hot cups but need to go to Costco to get some more cups. While I'm there do I need to pick up plates, bowls, ??? or does someone else have that covered?

I'll bring some big bowls in case we need to transfer the contents :bigsmile:

I didn't see anybody else mention a "grilling-type" device, so I'd be happy to bring a table to put yours on! thumbsup

Spoiler: show
already picked up some dogs/sausages for back-up

OK, I'll bring it! Just letting you know its not an actual grill but big 2 burner stove with optional: grill plates and griddles.
Update: I checked and my 2'x4' table fits in the CRV. Got the stove and grill plates ready and extra bottles of propane for it and the little stove. Can't find my little propane heater but bringing the bigger one that I can run off the big tank with a hose.

Costco was out of the 20 oz cups so I had to get the 16 oz (might work out better). Since I hadn't seen a response, while I was out, I picked up: Paper plates, 30 more bowls (bigger), and 60 ea more spoons/forks.

The package I just got at Costco is 276-Dixie Ultra. Based on last year that should be more than enough. If I added up the people who voted they were coming (and their guests) correctly, there should be 78 people there. Thinking I should have gotten a bigger package of bowls.

I've got a couple of cases of bottled water, and a package of solo cups (which might be worth money now that inventor died).

Quick question.

Anyone bringing a heater? It is only going to be 37 tomorrow.
