New "Hero" Members!
« on: February 03, 2014, 09:50:29 PM »
As our "little" forum grows, I'd like to congratulate our newest "Hero" members!  These are folks who have posted more than 250 times!  That kind of activity shows a commitment to our cause - making the best Q possible in the best smokers available!

I don't think we even had very many "Full" members when I joined, so this is exciting! ;D

Congrats to:

es1025 (Ed from Northern NJ)
Old Sarge (Dave from AZ)
swthorpe (Steve from Delaware)
benjammn (Ben from Chandler, AZ)

Thank you, all, for helping to make this a great place to hang out and talk about the secret to life (great Q)!! ;D

Well-deserved, Dave!  You've been here since the beginning, and this forum wouldn't be complete without the value you bring to the table!

WOW thanks for that! And grats to the other more qualified gents on that list.




ps:
I will try harder to make my posts more informative and less on the side of drunk writings (doesn't happen that often), sorry if I offended anyone.

Thanks!

I have learned so much from everyone.

I am a member of several forums. But none are as fun and informative as this one.

Thanks for letting me be part of this great family!

Thanks Tony.  I appreciate the kind words.  You all teach me something new everyday.

Special shout out to old sarge-dave, if not for your words of wisdom i may not have bought a smoker.  You can always cook less in a #3 then cook more in a #2.

Thanks to all!

Ditto on this. I was all set to buy a MES 40 until Old Sarge pointed me to the SI as an option on the SMF site.

Thanks again Old Sarge!

sorry to be gone for soooo long but work has been killing me, grats to the new "Heros" since I have been away. This is bar none one of the best out there as far as forums are concerned.
