[ribeyeguy]

I've got a grill, I've got a smoker, I'd have to go with the SRF package for the brisket alone!

[Craigar]

I would choose the Backwoods Chubby or for nostalgia purposes the MHP WNK4 to take me back to my childhood.

Thanks for the congrats. Honored to win this month's Gold Medal Giveaway. Wanting a smoker was between the Backwoods Chubby and the Karubeque. Can't get away from the Karubeque. I'm drawn to that beauty. Thats my choice: Karubeque. Thanks Amazing Ribs.

[Danjohnston949]

Congratulations and Happy Birthday one and all. All I can add is that I have Owned my wife for 42 Years today! Dan

[Breadhead]

@Danjohnson949. "I have Owned my wife for 42 Years today!".

Congrats on a long and durable marriage. I think some of us would be sleeping on the couch if we said we owned our wife for 42 years though.😎

[Breadhead]

Uh huh... You've got a honey do list I see.

I just use the "yes Dear, I think you're right" routine.

That way there's never an argument.😎

[Danjohnston949]

Wartface, you are damned right my Momma didn't raise No Fool! Dan

[Ernest]

LOL!! I take it she doesn't read The Pit.

[Sir_Gibby]

Cheers all, thank you for all the support. @Huskee--happy birthday sir, hope your day was wonderful.
I have a standard Weber charcoal 24" grill, a three burner gas grill with a firebox (I bought years before joining this site and learning why the firebox isn't encouraged), and a standing gas smoker. 2 of the 3 were gifts from my beautiful family. So this'll be my 4th grill--and I'll have only paid for one. Other than mortgage, new HVAC, new water pump, new windows, and crippling debt--life is very kind.

SO. Karubecue. I don't have a friend with connections to wood in what was described (i.e.: I go to Lowes for all my mesquite, hickory, and misc chips when I feel like them). It looks incredible. This is the offer of a lifetime. I will work against the odds and make the damn thing work, but I don't know where to buy the best wood for it. I just moved to Oceanside, CA. Any recommendations are tremendously appreciated.

Broil King Keg looks beautiful too. My father-in-law has a similar grill, loves it.

Anything you can recommend I'll treat as gospel. Thank you, all. I appreciate the community and all your help.

Grats Sir_Gibby fun fun... and I see this is your first post too, Welcome Aboard

I would pick the Karubecue... it looks like a fine machine! I can not speak to the wood situation in your area... but I would think, if you could get out where some orange or citrus groves are, you might be able to hook up with a farmer who has a line on that kind of wood. I know orchard guys are always replacing trees... just an idea!

[tongatim]

Hey, David,

Is there a particular date each month we should check this site for the month's winner? And will you still also be contacting the winner by e-mail?

Thanks,

Tim

[David Parrish]

tongatim we always contact the winner by email and the winner announcement comes out around the 10th of every month... plus or minus a few days

[tongatim]

Thanks, David. So August's winner has been announced? Not that I'm really eager to win anything. 😉

[David Parrish]

Yep. Sir_Gibby won. The announcement is post #20 in this thread.

[mackdaddy]

Congrats, nice pick.

[Ernest]

Take the Karubecue and worry about the wood later.
