Just a note to let the group know that my box won't be in the mail until Tuesday morning. Bless my wife's heart, she was helping pack up my box on Saturday because I was out of town, and unfortunately one of the sauce jars met the floor and shattered everywhere. I'm running to pick up another jar today and will pack everything up and get it sent out on Tuesday. Sorry for the delay folks!

I've been gone all last week (Talladega) and came home to some things that required my immediate attention. However I ordered the first of my stuff to head straight up the midwest. Hope it's not too Cheezy there.....hint...hint...
I came home from work and found a very nice package sitting on my front porch. Thank you David Qualls for all the goodies, they will be put to good use very soon!

If I remember correctly this is just part of your package.
Nice Score from Butchers!!!
I just got an awesome selection from Andy. 4 sauces and 3 rubs (2 homemade)! I'll post a pic as soon as I can. Thanks PadreFan and Andy!
Just got home, big ol' box waiting for me from VickieB. Haven't opened it yet. Will post back soon.
Thanks Vickie!
Thanks Vickie!
You are welcome, I hope it got there in one piece. cant wait to hear all about what u think of it.
Here's the picture of my box!
Wow! What a score from Vicki! Six sauces, a rub and some homemade beef jerkey!
Let's see, got three Hoboken Eddie's sauces. Mean Green, which is a roasted Jalapeno & lime juice. Hukilau Hannah, a Teriyaki & Ginger sauce and Homemade BBQ. Then we got two Funni Bonz Sauces, Sweet & Tangy Mustard sauce and Spicy sauce. And I get to be a guinea pig for this one, Old Schoolhouse BBQ Sause. I guess Vicki hasn't tried that one yet. And finally a signature pork rub made by a local meat market, Sussex Market.
Can't wait to try some of these sauces.
Thanks again Vicki!

So glad it made it there safely. Have fun trying all the goodies. The Hoboken Eddies web site Has some recipes and some more info on their sauces.
That jerky looks mighty good. Nice package!
Please tell me that I'm not the only one that keeps an eye on the front porch?...LOL!
Nice boxes so far.

I don't have my paper here at home. I can confirm tomorrow, but I believe yours is on the way Cal!
You are not alone, keep the faith
Mine was UPS'd yesterday (Monday) and should be to Alabama by Wed or Thur????? Hope it was worth the wait!!

Cook One really put out a spread for me.
A fine assortment of Rubs, Sauce, Marinade, A T-Shirt that Fits! and a beautiful Wooden Rib Serving Board!
Here are some close up pics of the items
This Rib Serving Board is a beautiful piece of wood made of Maple with Walnut Strips inserted to accent the craftmanship of this presentation piece. I plan to use this for demonstrations as well as just plain ole serving straight off of the smoker nights here at the house!
Thanks Again! This was so much fun. I still have a second goodie Pack to send out to my receipeint, RichH. Please bear with me.
I always send out a pack from Butchers BBQ not only because David (Butcher) is a forum member and Cookshack user, but his Products are proven winners, His Business is just about 20 miles up the road from me, and most importantly, He is a genuine nice person. He is always free to lend advice when asked during comps and epitomizes the true spirit of a friendly competitor in the BBQ Industry.

Andy - I truly hope you are not just being kind. I would love it if you had any criticisms and told me, that is the only way I will be able to better the jerky! I am always trying new seasoning combos, I like this one. But there are lots of other ways to improve as well.
David Qualls - I second that on the David compliments. He was so sweet (just like his yummy BBQ Sauce) when I spoke to him on the phone. Everything I have used from him has been great!

Looking over all the goodies people are getting, a lot that I have never heard of please try to comment on your thoughts of all the sauces you've received. That way we can maybe try to get a few different items without having to buy a grocery store worth goodies to try. I know different people like different taste but it would be a start.
Maybe it's just us rust belt people don't have the full exposure to all these rubs and sauces.

David, I hope you enjoy the flavors, always nice when the shirt fits. We eat a lot of dinners straight from the grill to the Rib boards. Just adds something a little different. Hope you enjoy.

I agree, if there is a website on something you like share that as well as the comments.
Rib Boards. What a great idea, never thought to make those. How wide are the strips? Looks to be maybe 3/4" x 3/4"? That would make them about 6 3/4" by 14" maybe?
Great flavor to it. Personally, I prefer jerky that is spicy, but this was very good for a non-spicy version. Maybe the only criticism would be that it was a little too dry. But I'd eat it again, as a matter of fact, I've got one last piece that I'm munching on now.quote:Originally posted by Vicki B:

Andy the boards are 9 1/4" wide 20" long and about 3/4 " thick. They are Maple with either Walnut or Cherry inserts. You can find them at www.perfectbitebbq.com. I have to say that my daughter in law has an interest in the company for what that's worth. We use these when we cook out as opposed to plates, you can serve anything on them, and as I mentioned they add something different, and look great with a slab of ribs on them
Thanks Andy for the honest criticism. I generally go not-to-spicy because of my youngest. The rest of us like spicy. I appreciate the info on the dryness. I was a little surprised. Everyone is a little different on how they like it. I hear things like, I like it real chewy so I cut it with the grain, vs. what we prefer is easy to chew cut against the grain. Based on your review of the dryness, I am gonna make another batch soon and cook it less, maybe by 1/2 hour or so. It is always a tad dry when it comes out of the oven, then is wonderful the following days. If you can think of anything else, let me know. Thanks again!!!! It's all gone now, isn't it
I'm patiently sitting on the curb waiting for the Big Brown Truck to pull up...good things are worth waiting for! Can't wait.

My wife just sent me a text and said a box from "my little secret trading pal" arrived today.
Now I don't know about you guys, but I feel a little stronger about this sauce swap than just "my little secret trading pal".
Just for that, I'm eating out tonight, alone. She thinks she is cooking. HA! my secret pal my butt!

I just received my package. The package is from Lawrence C., whom I surmise is NY Smoke. Correct me if I'm wrong. What a great assortment of items I received, all will be put to quick use in the next few weeks. Lawrence, I'm especially anxious to try your homemade pork rub, it smells wonderful. I will report back, I'm sure it will all be great. Thank you so much!
I got the same Hoboken Eddies sauce from Vicki B. We'll have to compare notes.

I got some from Vicky B on the first exchange. Sweet!! But good. I did some country style ribs with it last weekend. Turned out great.
Mmm Brooklyn brewery! I like the stout.
LOL! Cook One?
NY SMOKE, I see you gave BD some Down to the Bone sauce. I used that in my first exchange....good stuff!

If you have not shipped your package, I need to hear from you soon by private message please. Those of you that already contacted me do not need to send anything again. Thanks!

Here is a pic of all the goodies sent in by box by RichH. I have already used to of the rubs on ribs last week and now have turkey wings marinating in the Amish Honey Mustard marinade mix. Cant wait to take those out tomorrow night and smoke then finish on the grill and brush on some golden sauce.
YUM!
YUM!

BD - Yup, that's me! I was in such a hurry to get your package out that I forgot to include my forum id. I really enjoyed getting everything together for you, it was my pleasure. Yes Vicki, I noted that we both sent Hoboken Eddie's - not that much local stuff available from the area where we live. Looking forward to the next exchange for sure!
You are so right about there being very few lines around us. We are more burgers and dogs rather than brisket and ribs.

You got a nice looking box, expect mine to be on my doorstep tomorrow, can't wait for a look see.
Well 2nd Hand you out did yourself. I received your box today, and it is great. I am sending Smokin some pictures to post. What a great diverse selection. Someone has quite the talent with the Alabama wreath, very impressive. The only disappointment is the homemade preserves were DOA. Looks like this box was thrown over the fence by Mr. Brown. They looked so good I was tempted to pick the glass out and try them any way (did I mention I live in Alabama?)but sadly I let them go. Otherwise you out did yourself, the shirt is great and it fits,thanks again, this sure is fun. You did a great job very nice box. Thanks. I'll let you know later what my favorites are.

Yep but 2nd hand was so generous, there are many more items that will be great to try. Win some lose some. This box is still a winner
Yeah, but I beat they were Peach Preserves...RibDogs favorite!
yep, I think you are right. label was torn but looks like it started with a P.
I really thought the box I sent would have found it's way today. Maybe it's in the back yard.
Just opened a great box from California, and am munching on some smoked almonds. Will post pics tomorrow, and try to deduce the sender. Can't wait to test this stuff out!

OH MY....The West Coast conspiracy seems to have come to life...LOL!
My thanks to Padrefan for setting up the exchange, and also for the great swag he sent me. Two Pappy's rubs, two hot sauces, 2 BBQ sauces, one hot wing sauce, mustard, and smoked almonds. So far, sampled all of the BBQ sauces and mustard. The mustard is wonderful. Want to try it with some deer summer sausage. The Carlsbad sauce tastes more vinegar based and the Geno's sauce is more soy sauce based. Both good, and unique from each other. The Pappys Prime Rib rub definitely tastes like it would go well with beef, or even on a steak. And the Pappys Seasoning seems more general, like it could go with anything. The Sweet Red Devil Sauce seems like it would make great hot wings. Haven't tried the Ring of Fire or Hot Licks yet...but I will. The almonds are addictive and I am told come from Pags recipe. I will search for it on the forum. Thanks Padre, this will keep me going for awhile!

Just had some grilled shrimp for dinner, marinated in some Hoboken Eddies Mean Green sauce with an extra splash of tequila (Just because). Turned out great, just a hint of heat and lime. Thumbs up!
That's the great thing about this exchange. You get stuff you might not have ever bought yourself. Personally, I would never have thought to buy a sauce like this if I had seen it on a shelf. But I got it, tried it, and it's actually very good. Now I might actually look for something similar on a store shelf.

Well, a big thanks to S&H (Steve and Holly) for the crazy amount of stuff that they were able to jam into the box that arrived at my house on Wednesday (just picked up today though because I wasn't home Wednesday so had to reroute to a FedEx store). I'm still working my way through it, but in the meantime, see below for a photo. Many thanks to them for the thought and time they put into this. I hope to spend Saturday experimenting with some of the goods.

I should also add that the box that I sent should be showing up on Friday in The Show-Me State. I just realized that I sent it off in such a hurry (because I was tardy!) that I forgot to include a note about what was in it. It's basically a nice sampling of a local restaurant here in Chicago and a great spice house in the city as well. Enjoy...once it arrives!
It's going to be a long day today working and then getting home and having to wait for the brown truck.

It. Sorry no lawn furniture this time. Lol

Great exchange! You guys all did really well. I think we have 1, maybe 2 more boxes to go. I have the sheet at work and I will verify when I get there. This was a lot of fun. I am glad you guys made it as easy as it has been. Enjoy your "swag" the next few weeks, and don't forget to take pictures.
I am inviting the family over Sunday for pulled pork dinner. All of my sauces from the echange will be out and I will be taking notice of which were everyones favorites. It's been 8 weeks on this diet. I am -25 pds and counting! I have been still able to enjoy the great smoked foods my cookshack puts out. What I have figured out is, it isn't the meat that does it to us...it's those damn sides and breads!!! Oh and the Beer! Cheers everyone!

Great job everyone, those boxes look awesome!
Padrefan, thanks again for doing this, great organization as usual! Congrats n the 25lbs. Its a hard thing to do.
Smoked the turkey wings mentioned above. They came out really nice. 300* to about 180-185. Very good flavor from the Amish marinade mixed with more mustard, honey, orange juice concentrate, vinegar and salt. Thanks again Rich, nice product.

Received from Cal Monday. Three rubs, two sauces, pork injection koozies and apron. All I've had time to do was stick my finger in everything to taste! Looking forward to using the Blues Hog and Plowboy's Yardbird Rub (maybe on same meat!). I have seen references to both of these often on this and other forums. I've never used an injection before but will "trust my butcher" on this one.Thanks for the great selection Cal!

What a wonderful way to end a crappy Friday, I was so mad when I left work no doubt my BP was cranked up and I walked in the house and a smile fell over my face. I had to go out to the garage and borrow the wife's dog grooming table instead of cleaning the kitchen table. Thanks so much, can't wait for the beer to get cold, and everything made it safe and sound. The Butchers injection leaked a little but not enough to matter. The almonds are fantastic.So many new things to try, looks like the 025 should be happy for the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again iSmoke and I would worry more about My dogs than my neighbors, there bigger.

Your welcome, but dang after seeing the fine box you sent Bubba, I feel like I short changed you...Sorry for that, maybe if you get up towards KC, we can all get together and I'll make it right?
That Gates sauce is what I use to think all sauces should be compared too. It should go great with beef/burnt ends!
Heat that Blues Hog up in your smoker before using it as a glaze, heck you might cut it a little with some AJ if you want a glaze instead of saucing your ribs.

Cal,
When you coming to Michigan to compete, I want to try some of the Cal Trio, Beef, Chicken, and Pork.
Hey Bubba!
Got money in on two comps next month, but they are a little ways short of Michigan, oh well!

Hey Bubba!, Sounds like a plan, I'll even feed the family.
WOOHOO!!!....I just received a fine box from SteveChris10sen, THANKS so much.
There were some rubs from Spice House...Bronzeville Rib Rub,Brisket of Love BBQ Rub, Gary Wiviott's BBQ Seasoning. 2 bottles of Kitty's sauce, some sauce and rub from Smoque. A generous sampling of smoked almonds. Thanks again Steve.

Hey Cook One.

Thank you so much for doing this Smokin, I have been so busy I have not been able to figure out the posting. This is a great box sent by 2nd Hand. Everything looks like it is going to be fun to try. Some of it I have never seen before, which I think is maybe the best part of the exchange. As I posted before the homemade preserves were DOA, Mr. Brown was tough on the box.
Any way great stuff. Cal it was not as hard to post the "Tide plaque" as it was for a Corn Husker to make it. As we say in the South it's either Alabama or Auburn. For me War Eagle, for my wife not so much, we are a house divided, so this fits in fine. Thanks again 2nd Hand.
You are so very welcome Cook One but I am so unhappy the peach preserves and peach sauce didn't make it! Also had a jar of sweet relish in there for ya. It will all be reshipped to ya and hopefully will get it packed better this time. Did the t-shirt make it?? Or was it all jelly stained?
Cook I took a wild guess on the Bama wreath. My guess stemmed from the bag of chips you sent me last exchange. You mentioned that they were made popular by Bear Bryant???? My wife makes those and sells them and can make any type of theme desired. They seem to be very popular. Maybe I should have her make one for your wife so all of Alabama is represented?? My wife has so many talents and certainly puts me to shame!
Please don't worry about resending anything 2 nd Hand. Your box had too much as it was. Tee shirt was fine. I'm happy, great box.

3lb rack of St. Louis cut ribs, used the Sussex Market rub from Vicki.
Into the smoker at 280 for just over 3 hrs, a little Old Schoolhouse Sause for the finish. Was rather surprised the cook time was so short. But the toothpick doesn't lie.
Good stuff!

Next time, if you want, take a sharp knife and cut parallel with the meat, but remove the thin layer of fat and off color pork on the large end of the spares. I find this small layer of meat has a different texture and is awful fatty.

Actually, I did remove it. Was trimming them down and saw this area of fat on the thick side, sliced through and the top portion of meat came right off. And yep, very fatty.
Cal & Vicky,
I see you both got some Brisket of Love Rub from The Spice House. It's now one of my favorite rubs. Got it from Steve Chris10sen on the inaugural exchange. I would order some more, but I'm overrun with rubs now! Go to their web site for interesting info on their rubs.

Thanks Ismoke, good to know its that tasty. I have a pork shoulder in the smoker right now for an overnighter with some Oakridge pork rub, passed the.out of the package taste test with high marks. I am gonna try their web site tomorrow. I got one of TSHs catalogs alo.g with my rubs, havent read thru it yet.
Andy, that rack of ribs is real nice. I am glad you enjoyed the sauce and rub. I purchased the rub for myself and have not gotten to use it yet.

Ismoke,
The beer was fantastic, the wife would like me to have the recipe for the sweet and spicy almonds, there gone,, I'm going to see if I can buy the pickles online, me and my daughter have just about taken care of those. I can't wait to tryout the some of the other goodies, currently working on a three day smoke for the holiday weekend next week.
I actually picked us some spices yesterday for the next exchange. This was great.

Okay, I've got a complaint Padre.
All those GREAT photos and everyone isn't telling us what's in them. Some secret rubs, homestuff.
Lots of good looking items.
Next time? Maybe have everyone list the items (or the sends send a list with them). Photos help, but some don't have labels and I can't tell from the photos what some of the stuff is.
... feeling left out this exchange

Smokin, are u trying to live vicariously thru us???
I am sorry you're feeling left out Smokin'. Can I get a loud sigh of AWWWWWW from the Forum? Great suggestion by the way.
Is anybody still waiting on a box? Looks like by my tally everyone has received something.

Yes, I don't have enough BBQ in my life right now. Now I get my new pork rub and new beef rub delivered from the Co-Packer tonight for the restaurant. So have to do testing and THEN maybe I can get it bottled for sale in the restaurant. And then we'll do sauce. Have four of them. Sweet, Smoky, Hot and Too Hot to ask.
But I don't want to threadjack.
Yes, I'm feeling leftout Padre, but now you know why I didn't sign up.
You did an AWESOME job of setting this up, thanks again!!!!!!
So Smokin, does.that mean some samll samples could be headed our way one day???

Hmm, now why didn't I think about that
I'm thinking ONLY those people that join in the next exchange might get something, but since I'm paying for the shipping, I can't ship free to the whole forum.
Iam betting most of.us would.be willing to pay for shipping. I know I would anytime you are willing to offer some up for the sampling.
Easy transaction for those of us with PayPal accounts. I would pay shipping & Handling!!!
It's been my pleasure and a really fun thing to be a part of. I hope we keep doing them. I think the next one we slated for October or November? We can discuss as it gets closer.

What?
Cook,
Not trying to be confusing, you just to follow the sub threads within the overall thread
Vicky asked about free samples of my new rubs and sauces. I'm not going to offer it for free, so I'm thinking more of a reward for people who DO participate in the forum, such as this exchange.
Let's leave it at that, not to threadjack and we'll discuss it in the fall. I just got my first 25lb box for testing of my rubs, they are not available for sale yet.

I'd bet that Smokin is not the only mamber that has been "living vicariously"
From the pictures I've seen, there isn't a box I wouldn't have been glad to get! I also enjoy the feedback as it helps me decide what I'll buy online and what to include in my next box

What?
My What? was all that got out before a computer issue. What I was going to say is What? count me in on your stuff even if I pay shipping.
I'm feeling left out and have been living vicariously, but then, I really was too busy to participate this time.
I have PayPal. I'd pay S&H to sample Smokin's rubs and sauces.
Heck, sign me up for the next exchange right now if it means getting samples of Smokin's products.
We'll all be able say "We knew him when..."
