Are pellets equal in cooking usage to wood weight? Have not used them before.

Thanks again, oh, did Padrefan say something about me expecting two boxes?

Vicki,

I'm not sure about ratio's on the wood chunk ones. I would just make a foil bowl about the size of a chunk and fill it with pellets and see. Those are some of the best.

You should have another box coming and All I will say at this point is that It will teach you to "trust Your Butcher"!

Van's Pig Stands set the Bar for BBQ around here where I live and I still go there often. They were the first to have "Curly Fries" and Double "Vanized" baked potatoes as well.
Their sauce you will find is a good middle of the road between sweet tomatoe and vinegar style sauces. Their hot gives a hint of jalepeno as the heat. I think their rub is the best you can use for all purposes. It is not as strong as Competition Rubs but for good family table BBQ it has proven the test of time.
The Texas Rib Candy is something I have stumbled across lately and will probably be a staple in my rib recipes for the near future.

I just took a stab at the shirt size and thought you would like an apron.

If I had known you didn't have smoked Tobasco I would have sent some of that as well.

I just texted daughter and she said no packages on my doorstep, so guess you weren't sending to me.

Nice package Vicki/Dave. Thanks for the picuture.

I'm still checking my entry way.

Cool box Vicki.

I think CS use to say that 1/2 cup equaled 2 oz of wood on the pellets, but you'll get more smoke with them. You might PM Pags, but I think he uses a foil pouch and a few pin holes to help with that part.

Sorry Jer!...probably narrowing down where it's going thou.

David, right now I have so much barbecue stuff I won't run out at least until I empty my 21 Cu. ft freezer.

The shirt will be good, and like I said, that apron is fantastic!

I tried the Rib Candy, it tastes almost identical to hot pepper jellies I get at festival/craft shows, I love to put the jelly on toasted/buttered english muffins. I think I will be putting some of this rib candy on top just like the jelly tomorrow morning.

Will you brush the RC on the ribs after they are done, or mix into sauce?

Thanks guys!

Vicki,

Brush on layer let it setup and brush my sauce after that for sweet, heat, sweet, butter, spice, smoke, and meat. That is my current thinking about the layers from top to bottom. I want Umami as the last layer and if the sweet/heat does its job the WOW factor initialzes during the Chew/Swallow/After Bite Process. Keep in mind this is my theoretical Endocrine/Chemistry analysis. I'm a Casino Manager and not a Champion Cook or Chemist...

Cal, just got home from working a double and my day got a lot brighter when I walked in an found a GIANT box on the counter. I am getting ready to open it now. It's been killing my wife to have to look at it all day! I'll be back but for now I've got to get busy! Thank you in advance!!!!

You'll have to sort through all the treasures, but I'm sure you can find something in there that will be different than your use to.

AND as David would say"Trust Your Butcher"

Cal! You've raised the bar! I don't know where to start. I have been wondering about Butcher's so now I get to try it out! The T-shirt, cooler, coozies, stickers, sauces and spices are awesome. I can't wait to get smokin!
Thank you and Thank you to PadreFan98 to hooking me up!

Sorry, never posted a picture before. It's there but I don't know how to get it to pop up automatically.

Yeah, I'm glad it made it there all in one piece, cause if that Blues Hog original sauce jar would have broke, there'd have been no prying things a part, trust me on that one!

Under the pic there is a box that says IMG Code. Copy that and paste it into the post where you want it to appear.

Holy Smokes!! Nice package Cal.

Awesome box from SteveChris10sen Thursday morning He promised a sampling of Chicago flavors and he really delivered . Four rubs from Chicago's The Spice House. Going to try Brisket of Love BBQ Rub on a 7 pounder this weekend. Included 3 sauces, including one from Mike Ditka's restaurant. Also two chunks of wine barrel wood. (Would that be oak?) And finally, a bag of fabulous Ancho Chile Almonds, most of which didn't make it home from my office!

A big thank you from one windy city to another!!

OOOOO - I am going to be slappin' and rubbin' and cookin' up a storm using ROUTE 66's fine BBQ sauces and rubs!

As you can tell.....I received a GREAT box of BBQ sauces and rubs from Route 66 yesterday! A big thanks for the wonderful selection of items. My husband looked at the sauces and picked up the bottle of Goldwater Bisbee BBQ sauce and said...Arizona! Bingo....!

So, I am now the proud owner of "Slap yo Daddy Rub", Route 66 Pork Rub; Route 66 Chicken Rub and some special Route 66 "pork sauce" plus the Goldwater sauce and some Jim Beam Original.

Thanks to Route 66 and also thanks for everyone who organized this great swap meet!

I am heading to Sam's tomorrow to empty their meat cooler....gotta try all this stuff!

Gailmo, I am glad you enjoyed the box although after looking at what others are sending and receiving I think I short changed you. The Goldwater’s Sauce was given to me by my attorney, Bob Goldwater who’s family made it, I hope you enjoy. The rubs and sauce are what I have developed and use in competitions and brought us 8 first place finishes last year, (our first year) and 2 already this year. They are designed for a one bite only and to use at home you might want to go light on rub and maybe go 50/50 with your favorite sauce as the sauce is too spicy and sweet to eat a whole plate. The Slap Yo Daddy Rub was given to me by Harry and I enjoy it on Brisket and Ribs. He is a fantastic cook. I had planned on including a bottle of BBQ PHX Sauce from another Arizona Team which is wonderful but either I misplaced it or my kids beat me to it. I will send you a bottle when I get it as I am impressed with their sauce and planned to include to share. BBQ PHX is an all female team cooking on weber grills and making a name for themselves in our area with their great Q. Glad you enjoyed the box and will do better next exchange!

Another nice package.

Nice package iSmoke, 99.9% chance it will be wine soaked oak pieces of wood.

Yet to see or hear of a package that I wouldn't be satisfied with, but this waiting is really starting to hurt me and what really is a bummer is the ups and fedex don't get delivered around my place till the very last part of the day,oh well...I'll hope for today!

Mine is being delivered today, even though Fed Ex said it would be Wednesday. Was there a bad storm between here and the Sooner state?

You guys and gals are doing awesome. I am really impressed by the quality and thought you put in to what you shipped. I think I enjoy seeing the products you ship and what you think are worthy of your forum members more then anything else. It sais alot about what you think of the products, and the respect you have for the opinions of the members. Great job!

LOVE the photos and all the boxes look great. I have to say I think I might have not put enough in. I wanted to put my own rubs in there but hadn't made a fresh spring batch.

I went in and edited so they would show.

You need two things to post the picture.

Photo bucket is fine. When you are in your photo album, look for the line of text that says "IMG" (there are 3 or 4 boxes below the image) copy the one that says image code, you'll need the whole line

Then paste that where you want in your thread

NOT URL

but IMG

It should look like {img}xxxx.xxxx.xxx.JPG{/img} key is make sure it has IMG, not URL and JPG not HTML

No worries, I'll look and edit.

ANYone needing help, just IM me or email me the photo (unedited) and I'll help post it

They better not, what would I ship for a future exchange???

Imagine THAT in a box from me... LOL

I'm sure no on on the forum would complain about a used FEC or a PG or a Charbroiler.

Just a long as it isn't painted Boomer Sooner Red!! (Now I wouldn't complain about Cornhusker red)

I couldn't agree more. This has been awesome. So many sauces and rubs I can't wait to hear feedback about.Padre, you hit it out of the park with this idea!

Now I can't wait to get home. I had to run to Chicago to take a BBQ class from Scottie Johnson ( Cancer Sucks Chicago), and Mike Wozniac (Quau)!

I will probably have new goodies to practice with when I get back!

I wonder who lives near Sacramento?

Feb 17, 2012 7:29 AM: On FedEx vehicle for delivery ,SACRAMENTO , CA

I'm with ya Jer, who would want a bommer red FEC?



Now that's a real smoker...LOL!

Hope it got there in one piece.

OMG, I have to have gotten the biggest box.






Opened it up and dang, I could have swore I had gotten the biggest diameter of spud(potato) gun I had ever seen, shoot I'd have to shoot pumpkins through it. After a little closer examining I decided I had a gift that would need to be put together. My own BBQ Team bar table,SOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOL! Don't ya think?





Really was a little worried about sharing the secret bbq sauce, but what the heck, here is a close up of the rubs and sauces.

Want to say THANKS to Tim, you really put a lot of effort in this and I totally appreciate it.

Trying the rub out tonight!

Nice.

That is one hell of an extra!!! A bar table? Come on!! How is that going to be outdone? Nicely done Tim. Cal you are one lucky dude!

Your welcome Cal I'm glad you like it. To be honest I've never tried that rub. We use the heck out of the Jalepeno salt especially on popcorn. I'm sure you have used the rib candy. My wife and I love it on grilled vegetables.

Oh--and don't forget to try the secret sauce--lol

Great gift cal and wonderful job there Tim.

Pretty soon we'll be shipping Patio sets.

I'm jealous!!! Cal got some of the Tangy BarBeQue sauce. Two of them no less.....

I hope the "house sitter" can bring the package in from the cold. Or perhaps chilled would work well for some of the contents.

I am reading through and keeping track (kinda) of who has received and who has sent. Keep in mind that the guidlines did say ship by the 20th. So those of you still waiting to receive, please don't panic yet. Your sender is just making sure they have everything before they ship. (Statement compiled from some senders who have PM'd me.) Those of you who haven't shipped... your receiver is anxiously waiting! Keep up the good work on the photo's and boxes. Most of us are just getting our kicks from that alone!
