interest in member exchange???

I'd be in if enough was interested?

Me too. It would be nice to generate some excitement in the forum again.

As a first-timer, I'd be in. How does it work?

Hi Jay. It's something I created and was a lot of fun. If you are familiar with the search function type in sauce rub exchange. Or check out this link.

Been a few years since we had one of them. I'd be in if we get enough people.

So far, looks like just 5 of us, unless others jump in.

To those unsure, or on the fence it goes like this. You are given the name of a member to send some BBQ swag to--some sauce, rub, smoked almonds, jerky, or whatever. We usually put a limit of $20-30 dollars so not too expensive. You mail swag to someone, and someone else mails swag to you.

Great way to have a little fun, "meet" some other members, and find some new sauces and rubs you didn't know about before.

For me, I have learned new techniques, new recipes, and more, including receiving real Vermont maple syrup, cookbooks, and great rubs I still use today. It is pretty fun. Like a BBQ Christmas!

Hope some more folks will jump on board by signing up on this thread....

BTW, I will post to one of our old exchange threads, so any one who previously participated will get an email notice--just in case they haven't checked the forum in a while.

If you do it, count me in!

If someone would like a stick of 9 year old smoked and waxed cheddar along with some Q-Sauce, I'm in.

Tom

looks like we have a few takers!

PM me your name, email, and shipping address. I will send you details on who you are shipping to.

ground rules are: send $20-$30 of BBQ swag to your recipient. Make it fun. Local sauces. Homemade items, rubs, recipes, special wood, etc.

Last date to get in on the exchange is Friday, March 17, so if you are on the fence, jump on board!

Once we have everyone assigned to a recipient, I will start a new thread for everyone to post pics of their swag.

Count me in.

Still some time to get in on the exchange! PM me your demographics and you're in!

Deadline March 17

Ok fellas,
Here's whos in:

Jay1924
Mr T
Padrefan
Idaho Mike
Cal
Joe M
Soleman

We are covering the whole country, from California to Idaho to Montana to Kansas to Missouri to South Carolina to New Jersey.

I have PM'd or emailed everyone, so if you didn't get it, let me know!

I will start a new thread for everyone to post pics of their swag they receive.

Deadline to mail is March 27. (if that deadline creates any hardships, just reach out and let us know

Again, the idea is to send BBQ swag or other paraphernalia -- rubs, sauce, jerky, cookbook, coozies, homemade secrets, or whatever suits your fancy. Need not be expensive, but aim for $20-$30 or so.

Have fun!

Thanks everyone--anxious to see what we all end up with!

Been a while since I checked in here. Looks like I missed the deadline for this one. Participated in the exchange a few years back. Lots of fun. In case anyone else reaches out and is interested in getting in and you decide to extend the deadline, I'd be in.

Whoops I missed it, I guess that's what happens when you don't login for a while. Next time. Waiting to see the pics.

Steve and Andy
I PM'd you. if you can get me your addresses ASAP I can still get you in!

Nice! I'm working nights so now I have something GOOD to look forward to!

Watch for the Brown Santa on 4/3/17

Mike: Watch for the Fedex truck this Thursday (3/30). For some reason, faster and cheaper than UPS.

Jay1924:

Your package arrived and went way over board. I have spent the last couple of days looking for smoked Pork Carnitas recipe, and want to do a smoked Machaca. Then I get your package, and it fits right into what I am thinking. Thank so much.

Mike, glad you liked it, I hope the collection was not too spicy, in NM we like heat. I haven't smoked carnitas, but based on your suggestion, I will soon. I bet any of the red chile rubs will produce that authentic flavor from the carts on the Santa Fe Plaza. Enjoy!
