I received my package yesterday from @northGAcock- who is really from South Carolina, as were all the sauces and rubs I received.  As a native Floridian, I was extremely happy to have a native South Carolinian as my elf. 

In addition to the goodies, he included a 2-page letter that described each item in detail with a little history as well.  My 11-year old daughter got a kick out of reading the letter aloud and I got a kick out of explaining to her the basic differences in SC vs. NC BBQ.  The personalized letter really made this package extra special and it has made me determined to do a better job with my note next year when sending my goodies.

I'm looking forward to using some Buzz's Butt Dust and Maurice's Southern Gold BBQ Sauce this weekend.  I'll take your advice and "throw on some Marshall Tucker Band, sit back and enjoy the cook as much as the meal". Thanks a million!

Enjoy the loot. Please pass along to your daughter, I love her Tie Dye.....as they are a large part of my own stylish (or not) apparel. @Greedygoat

I will let her know @northGAcock figured you would like that when you mentioned that you're an Egghead and a Deadhead.  It was pure coincidence she was wearing that.  I think we'll be playing some GD this weekend as well as the aforementioned Marshall Tucker Band in your honor.  Thanks again!!

I received my package today too. I was late opening up. It was very well packed and a lot like opening Christmas presents. Everything arrived in good condition with no breakage. I really enjoyed opening all the rubs and sauces and very much look forward to trying all of them out. There was only one rub (Oakridge) and one sauce (Blues Hog) that I've had before. Thank you very much Randy (not sure of forum name) I greatly appreciate it. 
Now I just have to decide what to use it on this weekend.

I sent that package to you but forgot to put a note inside. Curious who Randy is? The Blues Hog started just a few miles across the river from me in Perry, MO. He moved on after success.

When you get hooked on the Franklin sauce, you can order from HEB to be shipped to you.  I've done that before, and I'm not ashamed to admit it!

Read that and just on-line purchased a couple of bottles of Franklin's sauce.  A not so subtle reminder of the reach of this forum deep into your wallet.  
And it's Friday!

Glad to be of service!

@steel_egg - Glad it all made it safe and sound. The cookies flavor enhancer is amazing on pork chops and chicken. The honey, salsa and jam are made by a local place that has strawberry and raspberry picking fields for the public. It is a really neat family farm and our little ones love going to pick strawberries. However the newest thing I recently found was the bacon salt. The bacon salt was found at Target when I was in North Carolina a couple weeks ago. This stuff is amazing mixed in to mashed potatoes or sprinkled on just about anything. The Fat Boys is a competitive BBQ Team out of Lincoln NE which isn't fair from me and a good all purpose rub and sauce. Ken Davis is an old jazz player and has a very interesting story if you look up his web site, he came up with the original by adding a little this and that before getting professional help to help replicate Grandmas recipe. Last thing is the Aronia BBQ Sauce which I just thought looked and sounded really good so I just threw it in. Hope you enjoy and have a great Fourth coming up!

Wow!  I can not express how blown away I am at the package the I just received from @SoCalTim. This was my first time participating and didn't know what to expect, but Tim set the record straight. I have never tried or heard of any of these rubs. I can not wait to try all of them. Thank you again Tim. If you ever make it to the central IL area I owe several beers. 

Your very welcome Bryan, glad everything made it to you intact. Enjoy my friend. Tim

I received my package yesterday and it's like Xmas in June. Wardster hooked me up good from FL. Looking forward to all the new flavors he sent. He tried to tell me that wasn't him in the picture on postcard surrounded by all his daughters(wink,wink) Thanks so much I can even say I've "Got wood"

I do hope  you enjoy.  I'm worried some of the stuff is readily available, but did not know where these were going.  This was my first go around. 

Not sure why, but that pecan wood is leaps and bounds above any store bought I have had.  I also owe you a jar of local honey, but I can't control when that hits the market!!!
