Does anyone know if I will have a problem taking my normal sized charcoal grill into the camp ground with 2 bags of charcoal??
I've heard conflicting stories on "ask Gary" so I figured I would come here and ask the vets. I do not plan on selling any food but I do plan on cooking 4 racks of ribs Wednesday night and a tiny grill just won't cut it!!

One year they were confiscating charcoal from people entering the fest. They were also selling it at the general store that year. Not really sure what the deal with that was. Never brought any myself. So?
I have a small charcoal grill that I was thinking of bringing. I'm not selling food either...just cooking some wings or maybe some burgers. Maybe someone will have the answer.
They took our charcoal last year, it sucked. From what I heard, there was a miscommunication and they weren't allowing charcoal for the first day, then someone corrected the staff and it was allowed in.
I ended up buying a gas grill earlier this year just to be safe, I don't want my food to go to waste again.

I'm pretty sure they are allowing charcoal grills this year. I think in the Ask Gary video about Food at Bonnaroo he mentioned bringing them, just make sure your coals are completely out before disposing of them.

Interesting story... 2009. My campmates and I were cooking over charcoal, and someone on a four-wheeler came by and yelled at us, that we weren't allowed to be using charcoal. We were sitting by it, keeping an eye on things, not like we were wandering off and leaving it unattended.
So, we can't use propane because it might be something else, and we can't use charcoal?
40lbs or less of charcoal per grill will be allowed.
Good news on the charcoal!!! Thanks for the info on that. I wonder if they will say anything about the size of the grill because its not a table top type grill. It has it's own four legs to stand on...

Is propane really not allowed? I'm planning on bringing a small charcoal grill and a propane stove.
From Ask Gary: "SMALL grills and camping stoves will be allowed."
We saw lots of charcoal being confiscated last year, but we have never had any problem taking small coleman stoves and grills. I am not sure that they would let you take a large can of propane for a large grill. Hope this helps.
If your worried, I would print off the paper from the site saying you can have 'X amount of charcoal" and have it readily available in case they give you leno about it at the tollbooths or otherwise.
