@charliebatutis nope never had it. I'm from north/central Alabama

Me either...which is why we do interstate trading.  What's common to you is likely not common to me!

I received a late afternoon delivery from UPS....thanks to Jeff @jabam 's kindness and generosity. What made this shipment so fantastic to me was they were personal favorites....and that is what it's all about to me. In addition to sauces and rubs, Jeff included some nuts grown by the company he works for.  Jeff offered to assist with any restocking of favored items, which further extends his generosity. I am greatful for all the rubs, sauces, nuts, specialty items and thought put into this gift. What fun it will be to explore new flavors in my egging expierence. 

Jeff, I sincerely appreciate all you have done for me. I look forward to keeping in touch with you as I work my way through them all.

let me add a big thanks to @cazzy for all the work put into this exchange. What great fun this has been both on the giving and receiving side. 

I I hope you all have a great weekend.....happy smoking.

Anybody else checking their front porch regularly to see if their package has arrived, or am I the only one?

I'm going to check it as soon as I get home, but I've been away on business for a couple of days....

shtgunal3 where are you from? seriously never had country bobs? I always assumed that was like heinz ketchup

I sent that to shtgunal3. It's from Centralia, IL and I figured he wouldn't see it down south. Nothing like ketchup.

Can't wait to get back home to TX and check the mail. In VT for a few more days.

IMHO the Frog sauce is the star of this collection, I found it traveling to the Bay Area, it is my new favorite sauce, has just the right kick to it. I'm sure some of the Bay Area eggers have probably come across it. Enjoy Robin!  And  thanks to @cazzy for putting this together.

Big shout out to @tgs2401 for putting together this totally unique package! Can't wait to try the Woodford reserve bourbon! And the bourbon smoked spices are going to be a homerun! Tom also included a history of his hometown, Owensboro KY and their tradition with Bbq'd mutton, which I was unaware of. Great reading. Looking forward to trying this bourbon themed ensemble! Thanks again Tom!

Thanks @saluki2007 for the stuff.  I have never seen anything and am excited to try it out. The note was great as well and I'm sure I'll love everything you sent. Memphis style ribs are really good and the wife always prefers hers that way. The char crust items sound good as well and the flavors are right up my alley. Thanks again and have a great upcoming 4th.

@tonyled Thank You!!!  This is a great haul.  Can't wait to try all of these. I am almost finished gathering for mine and hope to send them as good of a haul as this. 

saluki2007

I'm glad everything showed @Brisket_Fanatic. I hope you enjoy the central rub as much as we do! The BBQ Shake is great on anything.  I even put it on eggs occasionally.

@Tspud1 what is your favorite way to use the Country Bob's? Is it similar to A-1 sauce?

It can be used that way but has a bit of a different taste.

I just knew one of my fellow Texans would send Franklin's book.  Great job @tonyled

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. 

Score! Above and beyond right there!

Bone Sucking sauce is on of my favorites and from NC too.

I'm liking the alcohol trend I see working it's way into the boxes this year.  Hmmmmm....

Randy sends out our UPS shipments so I guess every package would have his name by default. I should have remembered to put in a note from last couple of times. If you ever want any more of the Lickin's or Country Bobs, left me know. I know distributor in this area. He likes BBQ cooking but isn't a egg owner. He competes at American Royal in saucestock and won a couple of years.

Well cooked up a mess of short ribs today....and jumped on the Frog sauce. I didn't take pictures but will confirm....it is d@mn grate sauce. Also As one of @jabam  's favorites, I seasoned my grilled asparagus with the Pappy's veggie ...and it drove it all home. Again thanks Jeff for kick starting the weekend and upcoming holiday weekend off with a bang.

@Brisket_Fanatic gifted me some Cookie's rub last year. It's phenomenal on pork chops. You'll love it @steel_egg

Brisket_Fanatic

That is why I went with the bigger container to start with.  If you need more let me know @steel_egg or @DoubleEgger

Well, I am completely BLOWN AWAY by the generosity of @Acn (Aaron from Maryland!

My box arrived Friday but family commitments kept me from posting my haul until today.

First, Aaron's letter detailing how & why he chose the products was amazing. He put much thought and detail into explaining what each rub/sauce, etc. goes good with. In addition, he sent items that represent different areas of the country where he has lived or spent time in.

Really amazing letter with soooo much great detail.

Thanks, @Acn

You're package ships tomorrow. You may recognize the box...lololo

Here are pictures. It took several to capture the amazing pile of goodness!

BTW, when I told my wife I was doing this, she said: "That's weird".

When we opened the package, she was floored and amazed at Aaron's generosity. She also made me go out and add a few more things....
