BBQ
Cups and Ice ?
What else is this thread missing?

Neese’s liver pudding

Now you are getting in the territory of eating Liver and Lights, Brains and Eggs, Mountain Oysters, and The Squeal.

Lamb fries?

So I guess while we're talking about BBQ:

Does anyone have the original recipe for Woodlands House sauce?

I messaged the old twitter account that says "message for original recipes" but never heard back. It was my favorite sauce and would love to make it at home for my smoked wings. Thanks!

4. Kyle Fletchers on Wilkinson Rd - Gastonia/Lowell area
3. Lexington barbecue - Lexington

1. Hendrix Barbecue - Rowan County - multiple locations.

Rowan County by far the best county in NC for making barbecue --- churches and restaurants know how to fix a plate!!!!

You really need to get out more and to the Eastern part of the state

Kyle Fletchers - never been there but will check it out since it's not far from CLT.

If this is true, seat assignments ought to be fun.

I'd hope the fanbase shows some grace. We should consider ourselves fortunate for the opportunity to watch football in general. I'm surprised we're playing this weekend honestly.

Yeah, I mean the other option would be like what Western is doing and playing Wofford at home without spectators. Playing at Wake Forest is the next-best option to play in Boone.

I will sit most anywhere if I can make it to a game....will just be good to see the young men play ..

The financial hit on the athletic program is likely going to dictate some difficult decision making.

Curious how many on campus students, how many off the campus yet local to Boone students /alumni/fans typically attend games. I suspect many off campus students, alumni/fans have apartment/house flooding or road blockages so that's potentially a non starter, and how many out of towners usually come in for games. I think hotels are typically booked out but I'm not sure as I have never booked one.

Quick back of the napkin math-
Freshman class is around 5000 and they are on campus. The other 15,000 students are local, which leaves a mix of 20,000 non student locals and/or out of towners to max out capacity at 40K.

Pretty sure it's going to be a long time before Boone can support 10,000 plus out of towners renting hotel rooms or airbnbs.

Agree, Wake seems like best and logical option if we want to the season to continue and see games in person. Hope they don't charge us for it.

Agree, and not that it matters but there isn't a bad seat at KBS or Groves Stadium (forget what they call it now)

Does that mean we host in Boone at limited capacity to make back some money...or host full boar no restrictions? 3 weeks away.
Or host at Wake...who would get concessions and ticket sales in this scenario?

Kyle Fletchers - never been there but will check it out since it's not far from CLT.

If you go to Kyle Fletchers forget the BBQ. It’s nothing special. Get a burger, the burger is special!!!

[AppYosef!]

I use a Trager which has done well - no issues, Am interested in buying a RecTec.

Other than smoking pork, etc. would you recommend a Trager(or any pellet grill) for steak, burgers and the like? Or would gas be the better option for those? I’m looking to upgrade from an old charcoal grill.

I have a Trager, it’s very easy to cook on but unless you get one of the high end units with a “smoke” option they don’t really put much smoke on the food. Mine will only really hold about 475 degrees, I like to cook steaks and burgers at around 600 degrees so again the Trager has limitations. All that said I use it all the time and it does a great job and is very easy to use. To really put smoke on something or sear steaks or burgers I prefer my green egg. It’s not like a Trager in that you have to learn how to work the vents to set your temperature but once you get that down it will hold a temperature like nothing else. You can cook from 200 degrees to 700 degrees. And you can throw the smoke on anything. You can cook pretty much anything on either. To make your choice my difficult I’ll give you another option. I also love my blackstone griddle. Never thought I would cook a steak on a griddle but they are fantastic. I probably use the griddle more than either grill.

Kyle’s is cash only. The burger is good. And they have Sundrop !

Highly recommend a Yoder 640s. They are expensive but definitely versatile and worth it IMO. I can smoke, grill over open flame or use the flat top griddle like a black stone.

I like my Masterbuilt Gravity 1050. Smoke, grill/sear, or griddle.

Noble Smoke / Charlotte
Ray Nathan’s / Gastonia

Agree with Ray Nathan's, ate there last night, but wasn't impressed with Noble. The menu just seemed too big city and uppity for a BBQ place.

We tried JD's Smokehouse outside of Lenoir before the USA game. It was the best part of the night by far!
