Congratulations winners! I have been on the fence for so long on a pellet smoker like a Camp Chef but wive prefers a combo grill / smoker (non wood) maybe charcoal. Will take it off this thread but always drool over the great prize offerings. Enjoy!

Started smoking in Aug 2025. First smoker is a Weber Searwood. I purchased a ThermoWorks Smoke to get a more accurate temperature and the pro-series needle probe. I also have a Weber grilling basket, Weber grill brush, and the Grillart steambrush. I've tried all sorts of pellets and wood flavors and my family mainly likes the Traeger signature blend. I have a meat injector and shears for poultry.
I also recently purchased a new 2010 used Weber Kettle Performer. Just got a cover for it. I bought the ThermoWorks RFX with 1 wireless probe, the SnS and DnG to spruce up the grill. I have not cooked on it yet. I cut a hole and installed the ThermoWorks billows. I did buy 4 bags of the B&B charcoal briquettes.
All my cooking has been on the Searwood. I absolutely love cooking Pork Shoulder, chicken wings, chicken breasts and steak. I won first place in my church chili cookoff (I bragged to everyone about it) and I really enjoyed the chili (and I don't really like chili). I really enjoyed Moink balls. I like cooking ribs, chicken breasts, and chicken legs with white sauce.
I look forward to cooking pork burnt ends, smoked turkey for Thanksgiving, and maybe even a brisket.
I'm still trying to determine rubs my wife will really enjoy. I love the rubs from the website, but my wife just wants some rubs that will bring out the meat flavor so she can taste the meat. I'm seeking simple rubs for chicken breasts and steaks.
I love soda and especially Dr. Pepper. I don't drink alcohol.
I live near Boise, ID. I've been married for 25 years and I have 5 kids. I'm a second career dentist.

Is there a list of those whose names have been drawn but they failed to claim their prize? And how are winners notified?

We don't keep a public list of those who forfeit, as if to rub it in their faces. I announce the winners in each month's Winners topic, but if any happen to forfeit then I simply announce the new winners and erase the forfeitures. However, if you scan the first page or 2 of comments in each topic, often members will congratulate the early winners, so it is possible to see their usernames on occasion.

I wondered the same originally. Easiest would be to go thru yer E-mails and scour the trash bin. Prolly better if you do not find out.

I'm with Alan Brice. There were a couple of years after I joined that i didn't participate or log in at all. I'm sure I won back then but I don't want to know.
