Great Pit Cast!

Good to hear from you when you're not yelling at me!! (Just kidding) It was interesting to hear the back story behind the SNS. It was no surprise to me that it would work. You have some crazy BBQ'rs in The Pit that ate it up and helped to get things moving.

You are doing fine job with "Hot from the Pit" I do enjoy seeing it each month. I am glad that I can be a very small part of helping you add a few articles. I always like seeing if any of my suggestions made the cut. Hahaha.

I think this needs to be your "State of the Pit" address.

To bad you won't take the G550, cause you don't fly! I'll take your seat so me and Greg can get in line early at Franklin's just in time for you to drive up.

Maybe BBQCentralShow and I can do a yearly or semi-yearly State of The Pit. Of course Meathead usually gets to announce all the really cool secrets, but I'll sneak in whatever he leaves me!

Yes, feel free to take my seat on any plane. Hold my place in line and I'll join you!

Great to hear you Huskee ! I just find the Pit an amazing place and really appreciate the effort both you and the moderators put in to making it go. I love the newsletter! It’s one e-mail that I stop to read. I’m always afraid I missed a great idea or post!

* - Weber 26.75" OTG
* - Weber 22.5" Premium cloaked in Crimson
* - Slow 'N Sear
* - Smoke E-Z - 26.75" (The Grain Silo)
* - Lodge Sportsman Grill
* - Weber Rapid Fire Chimney Starter
* - Thermoworks ThermoPop
* - Thermoworks Dot
* - iGrill2 - 4 probes
* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Frisco Spices in LaVista, NE (the local butcher supply shop); Volcanic Peppers in Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Just Good Meats & Fareway Foods

I will vote for a semi-annual State of The Pit along with a quarterly round table with all the mods and every once in a while toss in Meathead and Max Good along with everyone else associated with making this machine run smoothly. I don't ask for much.
