One thing I forgot to mention Chef Heart ….. if you look at a Pit member’s info on the left side of their post/comment, in the bottom left corner you see 1 or 2 symbols. The circle tells you if they are online and active based on its color. The one that looks kinda like the tip of a fountain pen is their signature. If it is there, the member has created a signature. You can get a ton of cool info just from reading people’s signatures. Cookers, cookbooks, thermometers, other accessories, beer recommendations and more.

Welcome from Wisconsin. Glad you could join us!
I tried to order a custom blend to send as a gift, but I wasn't able to have a shipping address that was different from my CC address. Either I'm doing something wrong. (Highly likely) Or you're not set up to send your products as a gift.😕
Left a message on the contact form about changing the shipping address, and still waiting to hear back. I left the message late on Friday, so I'm not surprised that I have heard anything yet.

STEbbq The first address you enter is the name and address for shipping. When you get to the payment page, uncheck the box that says use shipping address as the billing address. It's not nearly as complicated as I made it.
