Crab Boil Adventures, Preparing the BBQ

This past weekend a bunch of us got together for a good, old fashioned crab boil.  Everyone seems to do them slightly different but here's a picture of mine:

Its nothing fancy by any means - crab legs, shrimp, corn on the cob, sausage, mushrooms and red potatoes but WOW, is it delicious!

I think we ended up making 16 ears of corn, 8 lbs of crab legs, 2 1/2 links of sausage, a few pounds of shrimp, a large container of fresh mushrooms and a ton of potatoes.  There were 6 adults and 2 kids (both boys) and we managed to demolish almost all of it.  I think we crawled away from the table, we were so stuffed lol

In other news, we are preparing for our next amateur BBQ event this weekend.  We are having a banner printed with our team name, our associated BBQ memberships (the Florida BBQ Association and the Kansas City Barbeque Society) and location, which will will hang from our tent.  There will be plenty of pictures from this weekend, I promise!!  The meat this month is brisket, which is considered one of the hardest meats to cook.  If nothing else, it will be a great learning experience!

So what are your plans for this weekend?
