Chili Cook Out at Kings Mountain State Park in South Carolina

I don’t know about everybody else, but we had such a good time at the Kings Mountain Dutch Oven Gathering on Saturday 10/09/10 that I wanted to do it again before the holidays. Several others agreed, so “We Are On”

We’ll meet at Kings Mountain State Park in South Carolina. The park is 6 miles south on Route 161 off Interstate I-85, Exit 8. The Dutch Oven Gathering will be at Shelter No 1. This shelter has a fireplace and more space for us to accommodate even more Dutch Oven enthusiasts.

The theme of this Dutch Oven Gathering is Chili, aka “Texas Red”. There are “No Rules” to the chili, if you like beans etc, go for it. This is NOT a competition, but it is a chance to show off (just a little) and trade recipes, bring your favorite recipes and prepare them at the shelter with friends. If you would like to make something else that would be fine, but let’s stick to the theme of spicy foods. As always breads and desserts are welcome.

The weather is changing fast and cooling quickly, Please help out by bringing some firewood.

Kings Mtn Dutch Oven Gathering 10/09/10 Part Two

We had beautiful weather for our Dutch Oven Gathering. It was a cool morning with a mild afternoon, sunny in the low 80’s along with a small breeze.

Keith was the early bird having breakfast ready as everyone arrived to the shelter. After we set up our cook areas we started preparing a quick lunch for the Meet and Greet. After lunch it was time for some of us to kick back and chat, whiles others went on a hike to explore more of the park.
