Now, inquiring minds want to know how Mettius plans to top his SNSGrills kettle from last month?

[jfmorris]

Well, he needs to decide soon! It's been several days and he hasn't claimed his prize yet!

I am sure it won't be the SNS Kamado, as his signature shows two sizes of BGE already. Aside from that, who knows?

There is always a Hasty-Bake .... JUST SAYING!

Hi Huskee,

I'm going to go with the MHP JNR4 please (propane).

My current arsenal includes two BGEs, (XL, Lrg) so no need for another kamodo. The SNS Kettle will replace my aging Webber. I have a KBQ for stick burning purity.

Compared to the above, I can't see myself ever using a pellet smoker, so as unlikely as any of my friends are to believe it... I'm going with a gas grill.

I've never owned one (though my folks have always had one). But of late, when I just want to sear chicken breast/thighs then finish in the oven I've been using a cast iron pan then the (indoor) kitchen oven for 25 min at 425 to finish.
Always makes a lot of smoke. Some days I don't feel like getting the BGE up to temp for this quick dinner item. So I guess lets see how cooking with gas works with this.

[Huskee]

Watch your email for some light-duty paperwork!

[FireMan]

Good move. Congrats!

[jfmorris]

Great choice given your current arsenal of cookers! A gasser is always handy for quick cooks and keeping the smoke outside.

Congrats Everyone!

If anyone is wondering but hasn't viewed our Sweepstakes Complete Rules... here's the "how often can someone win?" summary:

Grand Winners cannot win again for 10 years.

Second & Third Prize winners are eligible for a different prize the next month. You cannot win the Second or Third Prizes more than once each, but you can win them, or the Grand also, the next month after winning.

Theoretically, a person could win all 3 prizes in 3 months' time, or every 10 years. Depends on the prize won and the odds of the independent Sweepstakes Company who randomly gives me the names giving me yours.

What we've seen so far:
1. VERY well known and active forum members winning ( jfmorris and Mr. Bones, and the member formerly known as "Mr.Misunderstood", for instance)
2. A member who joined yesterday winning (forget who and when, but it happened once)
3. Members who never have posted here in the forum winning, whether new or long-time (happens all the time, but who cares they pay the same $23.95/yr as forum posters)
4. Winners not reading my emails or logging in here to see the 'mention/tag' that they're the winner. You only legally have 5 days then we axe you and pick another. Happens many times each year.
5. Well known active forum members being picked as the contingent, but alas the main winner responds and they never knwo they were a contingent (I'm not gonna tell 'em!)
6. A member can potentially win again next month, as we've seen (by astronomical odds of course) with Mettius.

Fun stuff! One of my favorite things to head up here!

We had redraws the last two February’s too. 2019 and 2020.

[HouseHomey]

So I think now we are all thinking we were the contingent winners. I don’t have any place for another cooker anyway. Except in my garage next to the dormant blackstone.
