Congratulations Berts_Works ! I'm excited to have a fellow Minnesotan be a winner!

[Berts_Works]

Well, let’s check the inventory:
-PBC, check
-Green Mountain- David Bowie, check
-Weber one touch, check
-Joule Sous Vide, check (no, not in the offering but though I would list anyway)
-20~ year old, very used gasser, Hmmmm – this could be the opportunity here!

Yes the gasser in my arsenal is well used for spontaneous eats, or crisping up Carnitas on inverted grillgrates, or getting very quick / very hot sear (reverse, of course) – especially now that I do a lot of Sous-Vide-Que. Also, having been a California boy all my life and moving to Minnesota in 2015, a good new gasser will have its place. As an example few zub-zero days, I’ve had to jump-start my Green mountain auger by means of a white-gas backpacking stove placed at floor level underneath to warm it up. Whatever it takes, right? BTW: Minnesota is where my grandsons live so we moved next door- future Pitmasters in the making.

So, I think I’ll modestly and thankfully accept the Saber 500 Cast Black Grill (Thanks for the review, Max!).

I gratefully give credits to the following in historical order:
-Alton Brown – Good eats and more
-America’s test kitchen
-Thermoworks
-Meathead and team – AmazingRibs.com
-Harry Soo – Slap Yo’ Daddy
-J. Kenji Lopez-Alt – The Food Lab
-ChefSteps.com (they make the Joule)
-SeriousEats.com

…but I’ve only won something from AMAZINGRIBS.COM. Wa Hoooo!

Thanks also to those posting congratulatory notes in the thread! You might be next.
