My package is on it's way.

Dang padre, you are on it!

Package headed West! Hope it arrives in one piece!

Well, fellas, I hit the jackpot with a smorgasbord of fine items from none other than Mr T.

Home smoked thick cut bacon, homemade jelly, pickled eggs, homemade Mr T BBQ sauce, smoked sockeye salmon, Montana huckleberry syrup, Sassafras tea, and some 9 year aged smoked cheddar cheese!

Can't wait to break some of this stuff out during the Final Four!

Thanks Mr T for a fine box, it is incredible, and I will really enjoy sampling it.

I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.

Mr.T

Received a package from Joe M last night. It was bullet proof, bomb proof, but couldn't withstand the finger test. I opened a few of the bottles and tasted. MY buds are watering just thinking about the flavors. Thank you Joe. I can't wait to try everything.

The interesting coincidence is that my son was sworn into the Army yesterday and his boot camp is in Fort Jackson South Carolina. I get to introduce him to some sauces before he leaves!

I received my box last night from Soleman....

Thank you for the beer opener, this Jayhawk fan will always think of you when using it.

I was late getting my box shipped out(yesterday morning), but it's on the way to the Northeast part of the country!

If you haven't tried them yet, you're going to love the Oakridge rubs. Santa Maria is great on almost everything and Carne Crosta is killer on steaks.

I have some filet's thawing in the fridge now. Going to try both Santa Maria and Carne Crosta on them separately.

Cal,

Thank you so much, what a haul! I have to admit I've never injected a brisket, but there's always a first time, and I'm looking forward to it. I also tend to mix my sauces, adding heat to sweet. The mojobricks particularly intrigue me, and I'm proud to get those cozies from you. Lots of fun ahead! Thanks again.

Your welcome,I hope you enjoy! I'm a big fan of the mojobricks for the FEC.

Nice haul! What's a mojobrick?

Let us know what you think. When you have time, take a look @ OAKRIDGEBBQ web site. Not only do they make great rubs but they also donate 10% of their profits to charity. If you search the web you can even find discounts/sales.

I didn't realize there we another page. I received my package from Jay1924 on Thursday. It was an amazing haul, and will fit right in with some of the things I make, and some I am working on. Thanks Jay.

So for dinner tonight, my family dined on some wonderful smoked bacon made by Mr T, cooked sous vide. Interesting, I had never heard of it. But the thick sliced bacon is in a vacuum sealed bag, placed in water at 145 deg for 8 hours. Then removed and quickly grilled on a hot skillet. Excellent fare!

This was paired with some pancakes topped with huckleberry syrup from Trout Creek Montana, again courtesy of Mr T.


Last night for the Final 4 games (go Zags!), my friends and family dined on 8 year old aged smoked cheddar along with crackers and smoked sockeye salmon, again courtesy of Mr T.

Also made some baby back ribs and beef back ribs. The sauce was Mr T's secret recipe sauce. Again wonderful!


So thanks Mr T, we would have starved this weekend without you!


Everything was wonderful, made with care and precision!

Gotta love the exchange...

Idaho Mike, Again you are welcome. I'm glad you will be finding uses for all that chile-laden stuff. Enjoy!

Soleman, glad everyone was able to make it through the weekend with the help of your ribs and the survival kit. Hope they enjoyed it all.

And thank you Soleman for taking the lead on this exchange!

My pleasure!
That seafood lime seasoning looks intriguing.

Soleman, Add my thanks for organizing this herding of BBQ cats! It would be good to get a final list of who participated - it seems a lot of folks jumped in at the last minute. I guess we have a lot of loyal members!

Baseball opening day so I decided to put a rack of ribs in the PG-500. Thanks to Joe M for something new to try. I rubbed the ribs with the package titled "Slabs Pork". I couldn't find this on the Oakridge BBq site. So maybe it's from somewhere else.



I set the smoker for 235 and let these rip for 4.5 hours. Game time. Go Padres!



Delicious! The rub was savory with a good amount of saltiness and tang. I coated the ribs with the Pee Dee River Swamp sauce and let them set for 15 minutes. The tang and spice from the sauce really made the ribs pop. This was true flavor explosion. I found me a sauce I really like. The Carolina's do it right!

My thanks to Soleman as well. I have been waiting almost 2 years for one of these exchanges. I added 2 seasonings to the package I sent to Jay 1924 One was the Key Lime Seafood. We gave it a try on some tuna fish sammys Friday. Pretty tasty stuff.
