When I was notified of winning, I just did not believe it!? I replied yesterday and heard immediately from 'Pit Boss' and then from Max Good, Black Swan Premium Gourmet BBQ Sauces, saying...
“Hey Jerry:
Congratulations on winning last months AmazingRibs.com Gold Medal Giveaways.
In addition to a Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5" Smoker, you will receive a mixed case of my Black Swan Gourmet BBQ Sauce.
I remain in shock and am anxious to get started with the one grill that I look at often and longingly, but never thought I would have. I had just purchased three sets of (on sale) ribs from CostCo and they will be the first test.
Jacie I should point out the WSM is part of a PACKAGE. I'd assumed you didn't want the Performer but now I think you may not have realized both were available to you.
So, let me know, would you like the 18.5" WSM AND the Performer 22.5" kettle?
I am sorry, I had no idea that the award was a package beyond the WSM 18.5 and the Black Swan sauce. Where did I miss that information? The 22.5 Kettle is an excellent device. If it is included, I would of course accept that. I am curious about costs. I understand I may have to pay taxes, but what about shipping costs?
Taxes understood NP! I now see the offer IS a double -deal, What can I say except WOW WOW! I was so exited to do it right, I totally missed the fact it was a package! When I saw the 18.5" I was hooked! Now I see the WSM "AND" the Performer 22.5" kettle are a package  I am awash in excitement! I have an 18" Weber but its small, I do borrow a 22.5" on special occasions, but would love having my own. I just hope I did not incorrect-ably screw up by being so exited and not paying atrtention
You guys are just TOO much! ;-] Ya gotta love the camaraderie here!

Jacie the kettle and the smoker it is. Congrats! Now come back to this thread with pics of those new cookers, and once you've cooked on them, post the results here!
I have that link bookmarked and you can rest assured, I will be there, both listing procedures and ideas, and looking for help and asking (leading) questions... I am so stoked! Sitting on the edge of my chair. ;-]
I feel like the proverbial kid who just got a gift certificate for anything in the local candy store!
I love to research and read new ideas, and just having the opportunity to be a member of this knowledge pool is an extreme pleasure for me.
I'm not sure what to say other than this website is a best kept secret but, I want to help change that! I am advocating this website to everyone I know and many whom I do not know ... yet!
About keeping contact I have already started some note-lines listing the items for which I have questions, answerers, opinions and comments. I will continue to fill them in as time and the products (New toys) are here. Being an avid photographer for the past 60, years, there WILL be applicable photos.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Jacie You really need to get yourself a Slow 'N Sear for that kettle! You will be ever so glad you did. By the way, congrats again!
I've been eying, even envying a Slow 'N Sear, thanks for 'pushing me over the edge' ;-]
I will use the kettle for a bit as is just to establish a set-line, then make the choice, but now you have me worried 'bout not having one, and I may be 'inClined' ;-] to get one earlier than I had anticipated.
