    VA > Prince WIlliam Forest Park > Feb 18-20 7th Annual Chili Butt Hang

    This is the official planning thread for the 2022 Chili Butt Hang at Turkey Run group campsite in Prince William Forest Park, Triangle, Va.

    Jimbo will be providing communal dutch oven chili served Friday night. Please sign up on the google spreadsheet about what accompaniments you would like to bring for the chili. Saturday breakfast is individual, but feel free to bring extra to share with others. Saturday dinner has either been pizza, outing to a local bar & grill, or potluck.

    There are excellent hiking opportunities within the park with miles and miles of trails accessible from the campsite or a short drive elsewhere in Prince William Forest Park.

    --7th Annual Chili Butt Hang Event Page--

    --Google Spreadsheet--
    (The spreadsheet will calculate how much each person attending will owe me to cover the cost of the campsite. Each new hanger added to # in your party will lower the cost to each.)

    More to come as planning develops. See ya there!

    I've been waiting for this thread to pop. Unfortunately I had to miss the NoVA hang in November, so I'm hoping to see all the folks I missed at February's Chili Butt instead.

    Hi All

    Missed you all in Nov. I’m really looking to seeing everyone in Feb. I’m thinking about making a couple legs of lamb and camp beans for early dinner on Sat. Maybe hang them over the fire for a few hours Viking style! We’ll finalize in Feb. Take care ✌️

    Now I have to decide which night I want to be there. Jimbo's chili Friday night, or Doug's viking lamb on Saturday?

    In all honesty, I'll plan to be there Friday since the sites are booked in my name, and because I've been craving some dutch oven chili.

    Looking forward to being in the woods with you lot, even if I can only be there 1 night.

    I'll get some firewood set up from a reputable company this time. I think 1/4 of a cord should be good. The company is www.fivestarfirewood.com for anyone that wants to take a look. These guys actually have a web page, unlike the last guys I attempted to get firewood from for the NOVA hang. Also the camp grounds have been cleaned up, this last snow storm really messed up the park trails. I was up and down and had to go all around last week when galivanting in the forest.

    Based on the estimated numbers I'll bring two legs of lamb. They take about 4 hrs to cook hanging over the fire so we'll start cooking them at noon. I'll grab charcoal and hardwood chips for the smoke flavor.

    Does anyone have a campfire tripod to hang the lamb? Let me know. If not I'll grab one from Amazon.

    Should be a hoot!
