We can modify the terms as we go, but sign up if you're down and share some of your favorite rubs & sauces.  So far, this is what we have:

• $25 limit
• Care packages should be shipped by June 28th so everyone receives it for July 4th cooks.
• New rubs and sauces only please
• Try to think outside of the box and pick local or unique products.
• The majority of us have and love DP, so try to avoid it.

Suggestions or changes, please let me know!

Yep!  LS is the mastermind behind the exchange, and MCN awkwardly suggested we swap rub.  

Here we are

What kind of rub did MCN suggest?

Aviator

Well I posted this to find out how it works, but got a welcome email from them and it explained the MO.

Anyway, am in.

MrCookingNurse

I'm in! And promise to keep my gifts edible!

Should we note it needs to be bought not homemade?

Fred19Flintstone

I'm in!  I have no idea what I'm going to give, but that's the fun of it!

cazzy

If know people out there make some great rubs and have spent a ton of time perfecting, so I would say that falls under the unique category.

My opinion is sure, but please seal the rub somehow. Mason jar?

If you would like to allow homemade rub from perfected recipes (ie I don't want to be your guinea pig), please agree with this post. If not, disagree.

MrCookingNurse

I'm not saying people don't make a killer rub or sauce, just issues with packaging, longevity, shipping... Could leave room for a problem.

Fred19Flintstone

I don't feel comfortable putting something in my mouth from MCN knowing where his hand has been. Heh, heh, heh! Just funning you brother!
I think it's best to eliminate problems and this is an area that can create a bad one.

This is an awesome idea.. I'm new to the forums but we have a local BBQ joint whose sauce I really enjoy and I'd love to pass it on!

I have a sauce that is my favorite off the shelf.  It is made in Atlanta but is available all over the southeast.  Is that something that should or should not be sent in this care package?

The Cen-Tex Smoker

In in.

SaturdayFatterday

I'm so in.

I think if you your recipient is not in the southeast it would still work fine.  Looks like you can click on each persons profile to get their mailing address.  I think elfster just assigns the recipients randomly...I wonder if it is possible to ask for a new recipient?  It would be nice if we were sending stuff in other parts of the country for this reason.

Let me see if I can find anything locally that is not mass produced.  Not much around here.  If I find something I would love to join this because you can never have too much rub.

Unfortunately, the other site has done this for some time and a number of people have been burned. Gave a gift and received nothing from their elf. Plus it wouldn't be right to be able to change your elf because people would change it until they got someone they want. Makes no sense.

Little Steven

Aw Trevor, they wouldn't let you play and now you're making stuff up. Sad really

chrisnjenn

Yep you got me pegged. Don't take my word for it, search the other site about it. )

shtgunal3

I'm in.

Is Johnny's seasoning salt available everywhere? I think it is in the NW only

Fred19Flintstone

If you have food issues (diabetes or allergies), put that in your elf profile. For example, Wilma is allergic to MSG.

Scottborasjr

@fletcherfam I know I used to be able to get it but will admit haven't looked for it in a while.  I'm in the midwest.

henapple

I'm in... I'm not trading rubs with any of you. Mixed spices and herbs, yes.

MrCookingNurse

@fred19flintsone

That is a great note and very important.


@chrisnjenn

Appreciate the warning, I think we all understand the risk of freely sending gifts to someone we don't know with a promise from a Internet forum.

Please leave the other forum out of it. We don't want the dark side tainted.

BOWHUNR

I'm in.  Never done this through Elfster before.  At what point does the system assign our "elves"?

So you won't be accepting backrubs in place of a 6 pack when you deliver lump?

I can get the Garlic Spread seasoning and Jamaica Me Crazy via my good friend, Costco.

I've never had the seasoning salt.

EvansEgger

Great idea. I'm going to participate.
