I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon maybe 15 years ago with Old Dave when there was a KCBQ sanctioned event in Peoria IL. Dave was an older gentleman even at that time. That weekend he was mentoring a young couple whose handle was "Ulcer Acres". I was able to learn a lot, just by keeping my mouth shut and ears open!

Dave was a regular on the old forum. Today I went searching and found his link and it obvious he is still active despite his age.

    When I first got the Hasty Bake I found Old Dave's setup for a snake burn that works great for low n' slow on the HB.

    I have bought $4000 in Hasty Bake charcoal trying to get a free grill. Fingers crossed!

    Ron, I certainly remember Old Gregg. His jump rope video was a classic for sure  ;)
    Oh, you said Old Dave, he was a big player on the Backwoods forum several years ago. Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I use to corespond with him on the Backwoods forum. He seemed like a real down to earth and all around great guy.

    Old Dave is pretty active on the Brethren.  He’s been doing a lot of cooking on a Cobb grill lately.

    I remember him. Loved his site and built my own “contraption” kind of like his.

    He posted many of his cooks on the Backwoods forum as well. I haven’t looked in over 2 years, but the last time I tried checking in over there that forum had went the way of the Buffalo.

    Is this really about another Rutland debt that needs to be settled?

    NO! If you ever read any of Old Dave's posts the man is/was a grilling guru who taught many people. He is/was a most gracious individual.

    He is the reason that I bought a Backwoods Competitor years ago. Wish I still had it.

    Was just yanking your gasket, Ron! Sounds like he was one of the good ones.
