Before someone reminds me that I have left these forums, you will note that I only now post about the chatroom.
This is the deal.. Prize is one standard Bradley smoker.... no matter where you live in the world.
Rules
This is Nov 15th. To enter the contest you must be in the chatroom on Tues nites for one hour for 4 weeks. Normally we are there from 8 -9 EST to whenever.

And whilst respecting your decision Raye, can I just say we are much the poorer for your absence. And thanks you for sponsoring a new contest, I will struggle to enter because of the time difference but thanks none the less. :)
Take good care.
I second that Manxman!..........The Oldman is needed.

Common sense is not common, Olds, and your is missed here. Thank you for your generous offer! I hope to finagle/negotiate/outright steal the time necessary to attend.

If you live in an part of the world where the time is a factor then just log on and it will show up in the logs. Folks like manxman should not be panelized. I will have CyberDude check E-mail addys for time differences.

Just a fact of life Raye, I certainly do not see it as being penalised. I gain so much from the forum in any case in a variety of ways and as it is a predominantly US/Canadian thing there are bound to be the odd thing we miss out on..... like getting hold of Iceman's sauce!! >:( >:( ;)

Hmmm...... Do I detect a holiday gift going to the other side of the pond ??? Lets just ponder for a minute, if one had SOME type of idea on where one would send such a package I could only imagine it could SOME how happen ::) I guess I could just pick an address out of my hat or perhaps SOME one on the forum could help me out with shipping instructions. ::) ;D :D ;)
All kidding aside Man of Manx, if Sop,n Sauce made it to Yuzhno Sakhalinsk Russia and over to Crete Greece I think some might be able to get to the wonderful Isle of Man. :)

Now I am REALLY embarrassed. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ ;)
Manx; Not meant to embarrass by any means. Just trying to get you to send me an address so you get a chance to enjoy some sauce. Life goes by way to quick and getting to stop and savor things that only happen once in awhile is a good feeling and good for ones spirit. I'll gladly send you some in exchange for a few e-mail pictures of you neck of the woods. I'm always curious of where other folks live and the life styles they have. P.M me and we'll get some to you soon. I'm making more this weekend for the holidays so it would be easy to get a package off to you. :)

Only messing Iceman, wasn't THAT embarassed. ;) Did feel a little guilty as it was not why I made the comment I did about the sauce but I am sure you realise that. :)
I will PM you an address, if you do the same I will mail a CD with some images on, photography is one of my hobbies and I have quite a lot of landscape pictures plus some I took this summer of 20 foot plus basking sharks swimming alongside my boat which made the national press here in the UK.
I've got to post this.... the cost of shipping your prize cost almost as much as the prize itself and you did not send to me one photo ??? Shame on you!
Just messing with ya... ;D If you want to share your images with the group then send them to me @
[email protected] (unlimited storage) and I will host all of them for you. This way we can see them too!

I am suitable shamed Olds!! :-[
Bottom line is I just don't like foisting photos on people, if they show an interest then fine but I know what it is like to be bored rigid looking at other people's photos. Last week I went to somethng with my son and we ended up being shown 300 photos that was mind numbingly boring.... still have palpitations at the thought of it. :o
If you would be good enough to email me your address I will send you a copy of the CD I put together for Iceman, I don't have broadband at home, only dial up and it takes an age to send files.
The other idea I had was to send some kippers but I spoke to the kipper producers this morning and they no longer send to the US unfortunately, only the UK and Europe. :(

I spoke with them also and got the bad news too. Bummer! My friends bragged about them so much I was on the verge of putting duck tape across his mouth! >:( ;D Oh well, looks like the next cruise is going to have to be in that direction. :) Thank you Manx for even thinking about that. ;)
QuoteI spoke with them also and got the bad news too.
Real shame. >:( Tell you what, I am working this weekend and they usually serve them in the hospital canteen on a Saturday for breakfast. I will eat a couple for you and drink a toast with a cup of tea! :D :D :D

Ahhhh.... The old split personality syndrome comes out. Or is it the evil twin brother???? :D
OK Kummok, is that you or a ptarmigan hiding behind that snow bank? ;D
I take it you haven't tried any sauce yet so I'll send some down.
BTW I have that cabinet sitting at the place up in Wasilla I still need to send pictures of to see if it's what your looking for.
Yikes! I go outside for a while this morning to put up winter lights on the Captain's Cabin and sur'nuff, Skippy (evil twin brother) sneaks on the keyboard with greed and gluttony on his mind! :o Sorry ManX/Ice...next time SKIPPY does the lights! ;)

Don't like the sound of that Skippy, a thoroughly bad lad eh Kummock!!?? ;D ;D Trying to nick "my" sauce indeed!! >:( ;)

Kummock, I can almost picture you lounging on your deck with a pint of Homer "China Poot" Porter by your side. What an idyllic looking place you have. Cheers
It ain't happ'nin right now Mike.......staying around 5-10°F the last 3-4 weeks. The sunrises and sunsets are beautiful, but we're watching them from inside! Dang cabin water supply froze up and I spent all day today thawing it out for three weeks worth of guests starting tomorrow :o Celebrating the "thaw" with a porter as I type this! ;D
Olds.....at the temps we've been getting, those pics of yours are just mean!! ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D
very cool Olds, I really liked the water / sun / clouds bottom up sequence ... have never seen anything like that before.
Starting to forget what 5 -10 degrees feels like...so far thats good. will go home someday though
Let's see, I just happen to have some photos of my little village here in B.C. ;)

Looks like an opportunity to start a thread of pictures of our "home areas'
Pretty neat.
Don't mean to snub you on the contest Old's but I found out while trying to get on the chat room at work last night it's a "NO CAN DO" according to the IT dept. Bummer! >:( Frigging fire walls anyhow! :( I tried anyhow. ;)
I bet it is Sun's Java that is lacking.... Don't understand why your IT would mind if you upgraded yours. When you logged on did it offer to take you to the download site?

It just shows the "Access denied. Contact your administrator." screen. I played with an old laptop on a seperate fax line and got on Tuesday night for a bit though. I guess I can keep doing that without them figuring it out for awhile. ;D
Hey I just figured out that some may not want another smoker... so what I will do is if the winner wants I will set them up with a $300.00 plus credit with Chez-Ole-Boy!
Well this is going to be an interesting contest... at this point those who enter will not have much of a field to compete with. I don't really see any new faces on Tues night....
Hey gang,
I miss the Tuesday nite chats , My cabin doesn't have electric , :'(
let alone a computer. Keep the smoke rollin' along as deer seasons continue.
I've set up the BS at a neighbors garage near my hunting property. Been
smoking venison summer sausage.................mmmmmmmmmmmmgood !!!! :)
Good luck on the smoker-chat contest,
Coyote
well coyote,
You've have contributed much here and give your no power, I will add you to the list to enter.
Thanks Olds,
Muzzle loader season starts Monday , so I'll be sittin' in the woods with my trusty smoke pole
and a thermos of hot coffee . Ready to let the smoke fly at any given moment. Seems like some of the
best things in life.................raise a little.... smoke ;D I'm hoping to give a try to smoking a hind
quarter of venison this week. I just hope the deer shows up.
Enjoy your Christmas season,
Coyote
Muzzle loader Uh?
I was at the gun range a while back and there was a man shooting a muzzle loader. I found it interesting that he would pull the trigger, you would hear the click and then a second later it fired. I don't know what size cal that ball was but one thing for sure when it hit the sand back stop you knew it.
