Spring Camp Cookout List

[canebreaker]

Time to get it going. Hope someone has a list from the past that they can post.
I have the oil from Fall Camp in the freezer. I'll polish it about a week before camp.

Keep it in the freezer..i will buy fresh oil...this is too good a group to use old oil..

Jimmy....You might want to just make your own list because nobody knows what you want because you mentioned haveing a different meal instead of the usual fish fry. So, nobody knows what you need.

Rusty was the only one to bring any meal up in the last thread, fish. So crappie it will be, I don't have any. I'll figure out a list and post it.

New oil, Stay Clear, get it at Sam's or a restaurant supply for $20 per jug. Will need 9 gallons, 2 jugs if one cooker is used. 18 gallons, 4 jugs if 2 cookers are used. Depends on how many come.

Anyone make their own Flex Fuel? I have 2 jugs of Stay Clear that I've used over the last 7 years and 2 jugs mixed with veggie oil that are about 6 months old.

I will bring 10 gallons...We definitely need two cookers...cooking took way too long last time.. Also real hard on the cooks. You guys worked your butts off last time.

We got a late start and did a fast catch up. Fire bug and I didn't know we would be master cooks.

Need a bigger cooker if you are going to do fish for 75 to 100 people, the cooker we have is nice but it is not built to cook that much fish in a hurry. Fish cooking should take 30 to 40 minutes tops, take longer for the oil to cool than to cook the fish.

Not complaining Cane...You guys did a great job...I know allot of that just happened...I have cooked for large groups..a thankless task at best..I personally like the pot luck deal the best..Less stress on everyone...

Just a thought, we are going to do pulled pork and brisket and maybe a turkey for Illinois camp this spring. We did pork for fall camp and everyone loved it and there wasn't any work to it. Put it in the Masterbuilt and took it out 23 hours later and shredded it and was ready to go. It takes 4 or 5 people working for 2 or 3 hours with setting up, cooking and clean up and its hard to keep everything hot. Its the way to go trust me.

Thats right and we have been useing two cookers like that and still takes a long time. The two biggest complaints that I got was....its too late when we finally eat and, it takes too long to give out the door prizes.
