I interacted with everyone except Jim, but Bonsey was my guy. I think I am going to add some beans to my cook in his honor. And use my kettle.

I initially just saw 21st through 23rd and was on my way out to buy some wibs until I realized that it says March

[carolts]

Oh, just get the ribs! You can get more in March ;-)

[Steve B]

+1 what carolts said. 😁

[Livermoron]

Great, heartfelt, tribute. I'm in.

[carolts]

Mr. Bones was the one who checked up on me when I went quiet for a while. Definitely miss all these guys. Of course I'm in!

[Draznnl]

I was planning on some Dino ribs that weekend for the b’day cook, so they’ll do double duty.

[Jfrosty27]

Heck yes I’m in!! I see my favorite beef dino ribs in my future. 👍

[SheilaAnn]

Just checked my journal. I’ve done beef chuck ribs and rib tips. Apparently I didn’t journal 2024.

what to do for 2025…. Hhmmmm ……

[Whiskeyman53]

I will be visiting my local butcher for a couple racks of beef back ribs. I’m Looking forward to the tribute weekend.

[Soonerpop]

Just put it on my 📆

[Mosca]

I’m in, of course. Anything with a bone? Maybe a nice thick porterhouse, idk. Can I just stick a bone into a brisket?

[Panhead John]

Ooh, good idea on the Porterhouse! I’m stealing that! …🥸

[Donw]

Someone in the recent past posted a photo of a brisket with a sticker that stated it was boneless, so it would seem some people think briskets might have bones. Just post your brisket cook and state how easy the bone slid out. I’m sure that would work and meet the guidelines. 😉

[Spinaker]

Anything on the bone. And I will never say "No" to a brisket.

[Panhead John]

Good idea Tom. I’m definitely gonna do one of these for the Memorial Cook…

[Steve B]

There you go. Starting to eat like a man. 💪💪

[Panhead John]

Steve B Starting to? What did you think, I ate tofu before?!

[Steve B]

😂😂😂
I was talking about man size portions.
I’ve seen some of your cooks. 😁
But than again I tend to eat enough for 3. 🤦🏼

[captainlee]

We'll be camping in the AZ desert, best I can do is reheat some previously smoked pork butt. I'm in with what I can do.

[DavidNorcross]

I am surely in. These people are indeed legends and icon’s in our little community.

[fzxdoc]

Spinaker , that was a beautifully-written OP. Thank you for bringing back those memories.

Thinking of each of those members made my eyes misty. Every one of them made me better at the grill and smoker (not to mention my bean-cooking IP) with their encouragement, support, and recipes. They also showed me what a kind place some remote corners of the interwebs like The Pit can be.

Like you, I learned a lot from Smarkley in the beginning, along with the others as they joined and time passed. Each loss has left a pang of regret.

[Spinaker]

Man, Smarkly was a great guy. I wish more people here had the chance to converse with him.

[Richard Chrz]

Thank you for keeping this going, I'm in!

[RichieB]

Good to hear from you Richard. Hope all is well. Looking forward to seeing your cook.

[Skip]

Glad you're in on this Richard.

[Alan Brice]

Great to hear from you Richard, I am in and looking foward to the memorial cook.
