2015 Rub & Sauce Exchange - Show Off Thread

Ladeback69...found Chris Marks on FB.  Thanks.  Also saw him using the Food Loops...I gotta get me some and try them out.

Always learning.

Thanks again.

I want to give a big shout out to the Hapster. It was like Christmas in The Summer. I am a simple guy and the things he picked were exactly what I have been wanting to try. I was on the road for work and my wife called me to tell me that a box from some place called Firecraft had showed up . It was heavy and could I please get it out of her living room pronto. I quickly rearranged my schedule and headed for home. I think I had a look of glee all the way through the front door. I just want to thank you for the very generous gift. It absolutely made my day. I have been wanting to try Rockwood and it is unavailable here in Ohio. And I have never tried any of the Dizzy products. This is outstanding and I very much appreciate it. You went way above and beyond.

We scored Big Time!!  Thanks to @NCEggSmoker !!





Yo NCEggSmoker.... Ya done good son!

Received my package today from Alan in IL.  Not sure of his handle on here as I didn't see any indication of it in the box.   Whoever you are you put together one awesome box!!!!!  A great assortment of sauces and rubs, mostly from IL and some chili mix.   The variety in this box is amazing,  there's marinades, steak sauces,  bbq sauces,  all different rubs for beef, chicken,  and pork. I've never tried any of this and never even heard of most of it.   I've been in a funk lately and not very motivated to cook but this box has got me super pumped!!!!   Unfortunately USPS didn't handle the box properly and 2 of the bottles were completely destroyed to the point where I couldn't even make out what they were.   They made quite a mess but nothing a little cleanup couldn't fix.   Not knocking my elf's packing skills at all as all the glass was bubble wrapped.  Looks like something heavy got dropped on top.   Now I'm hoping my box makes it without damage as I didn't pack any better than my elf.   
Anyway,  what an awesome box and my family is already asking what I'm cooking next!  Great job Alan, hope you come forward and take credit for the awesome job you did putting this together. 

@shucker You are gonna love the Cin Chili. Remember no beans !

Steven @stemc33 sent me an awesome box of rubs, jellies and sauces from the Northwest. Not a single item I'd ever seen or tried before. I had cheese and crackers with the pepper jellies last night. Especially can't wait to try the ambrosia with some pork and the chicken rub with dried cranberries in it. 

Awesome job. 

 
When I first seen the NC in your @NCEggSmoker forum name, I thought crap, what am I going to get a guy from what some call the BBQ Capital. I started picking up a few things in Alaska and Oregon on my vacation looking for things made locally. I was hoping I wouldn't draw someone from the PNW. They probably wouldn't have been impressed with the Burgerville spread. The Burgerville sauce is from a popular fast food restaurant in the PNW that advertises with the slogan "Inconveniently located for most of America". That's one of the first pit stops for a person from the PNW has been out of the region for a length of time. At the same time, I was also hoping I wouldn't draw somebody from a BBQ hotspot. Hard to shop for you guys that have it all. 

Although there's only a few things from Wyoming as it's not known for BBQ/Cooking. I'm glad it's all new stuff to you. 

This is has been a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy sauces/rubs/jellies. 

Bravo!!  Big hand to Carl for running this whole thing! He might be a hack with brisket, but he knows how to bring people together!

That package would be from me brother. Sorry was in a hurry and for got my paper I had to put in the box. Ticks me off on the damage. Sorry! They wife had it packed tight and thought it would be ok. Appears the mustard bbq sauce and the root beer bbq sauce were toasted. If time allows and I'm back at those locations and my busy mind remembers I'll picked them up I will resend. The root beer bbq sauce is something unique. I hope you enjoy the items I sent and it was my pleasure. 

Thanks buddy,  can't wait to try this stuff.  I really appreciate it!!

Sweet victory!! Not sure who my elf was (no note) but thanks a million Dude From Arkansas I've never heard of any of these and can't wait to try them!! Jalapeño Jelly for the win!! My son was trying to prevent proper showing off. Super generous. What a fun exchange, this was a seriously awesome treat for my weekend and the only question is what do I use for my Fourth of July cook!!! Lemme know who you are so I can properly thank you!!!

No worries @mgd_egg ... I got enough that is salvagable that will last me for quiet some time. If you ever come to Orlando, FL, please let me know .. I would sincerely like to thank you for your kindness. Thanks!
