After some thoughtful studying, I've come to the conclusion that I must be "G" on the map.
I don't quite think folks understand all the rubs and sauces made in my area? We can do this every 3-4 months and I can send a different one for the next 20yrs, oh well!
As you can tell, I'm getting excited about sharing and receiving!
I love that u guys have "local shops", we have nothing around here that I know of.

Hey maybe you should start a sauce of the month company in your area, we can supply you with all you need.
I am intrigued, please tell me more...

Maybe Cook Shack and Smokin could start a sauce of the month club??? haha But good idea anyway.

I'm sure Cookshack could use a Northeast distributor. Many here have sauces that I would think be wholesaled to you and you corner the market up there for all retail sales. Call it the "Sauce Bucket from across the nation"
Just a bump for the weekend. Please join us. You won't regret it.

Think we could make this an official contest, so if perhaps my sauce wins for best bottle or something, I can then say award winning sauce? Just a thought, maybe even say endorsed by Cal, Pags, Smokin, or somebody. Another incentive to sign up!
This is an excellent idea. Count me in and thanks for setting it up.
Steve, you're in! 19!!!
Cook, I think you are on to something. But, for this event it might be hard since only one person will be trying your sauce.
Here is another thought. I hope those of you that have your own sauce/rub get creative with the bottle lable. Would love to see pics when people receive them.

Can folks weigh in on portion sizes they are planning to send, specifically related to rubs? Sauces sizes, I'm not concerned with. Again, this is a great idea. Looking forward to showing someone all the great BBQ options available in Chicago.

I will be sending smaller size containers preferring to send samples of many things rather than a lot of a few things.
I'll be sending two, maybe three rubs with a total weight of around 16-20 ozs. There will be some other goodies included besides the sauce and rub.
Glad you're joining in!
This is gonna be a blast.

I'll be sending a couple local sauces, couple homemade rubs that I use all the time, a commercial rub and maybe a homemade sauce. Everyone goes nuts over the homemade sauce except me, I think it's average.
But it's really up to you, send out stuff that YOU like, whether it's a bunch of small items or a few large items.

I have a good chicken rub I make and a work in progress pork rub the judges either love or hate I can send along with a few fun items. For whatever reason I am not allowed to pm with my address or just don;t know how but I would like to join in the fun. Any ideas how I can sign up? I FIGURED IT OUT and pm sent.
BUMP!
We need more folks from the Carolina region.
I'd not want to talk for anyone...but Andy and I would love some sauce from this area!
Nice to see were up to 20 folks.

How did you know? Yes we would! Love those vinegar sauces. Or a nice SC mustard sauce.
Yea I would love to find a good mustard sauce!! Anybody have one they would share?
I am including a hot spicy mustard made with horseradish and jalapeño made by a local co. Named Hoboken Eddies. Hope someone will love it.

I use French's mustard, sweet pickle juice, and Frank's Red Hot in no particular proportion. Mostly mustard, some pickle juice (from bread and butter pickles), and hot sauce to taste. People seem to like it.

Heck, I'd love it. I'll have to make some of that. I bought a QUART of horseradish at RD for $4! Hot stuff, full strength...just the way my Grand Dad taught me to make it.
We have 20 participants and that's awesome. Let's get some more. If you're on the fence now is the time. Just a few days left to sign up.
Padrefan,
Just wanted to say THANKS for putting this together and doing all the leg work, it was kind of you!
I've always believed if you snooze you loose, so anyone wanting to join the fun better stand up and be counted cause time is running out!

You're welcome Cal. I am really excited that it's generated so much interest. I know everyone is going to put a lot of effort into thier boxes. And this is going to be a lot of fun over the next couple of weeks. The fun part extends further. Not everything will get used up right away. It might be a discussion topic for weeks to come as people try the different items.
Did someone say they wanted some more representation from the Carolina's? Ask and you shall receive. Welcome aboard Joe!

And think about all the new "Q" related products and tastes you'll be missing if you don't join us? Here's a chance to broaden your "Q" horizon while broadening someone else's.
Vinegar, Mustard, and Tomato, we've got'em all!
Come on people, we have over 12,000 members, we need one more for and even number. Do it, you know you want to.
Or all you lurkers out there. Quit lurking, sign up, and sign up once more!

Odd number works.
1 sends to 2 sends to 3 back to 1.

Thanks Pags, I couldn't have explained it any easier.
Today is the deadline. Let's call it midnight tonight. Pacific time.
Should be a fun time, now to just finalize what I'm going to do... so MANY options... LOL
Hey JoeM,
Ketchup(tomato)??...yeah I think that's the thin red stuff we use to dilute Molasses!
Hope we get a few last minute sign ups. Gonna be FUN for sure.

I'm pretty much finalized. Need to make a run to my favorite rub place and get a couple items, but won't be able to do that until Sat then will ship over the weekend to my assigned victim, err... fellow smoking associate.

I performed a "mock draft" today. It wasn't easy as we have a lot of central states and few east and west coast states. I was able to keep it from shipping in the same state or neighboring states. But two or more states away became hard.
Padre, two states away towards the middle of the country gets me pretty close to BBQ heaven...
haha! That's true. I think it will work out.

Padrefan,
Any system you use to swap packages among folks will work out fine. We're all friends here, and the chance to share something we like with one of our friends, and for them to share with us, is a wonderful opportunity.
Thanks for coming up with the idea and for all your effort in making it happen.
Gary
Thanks Gary! And now the fun begins.
