An interesting Read

[Bradley (Head Office)]

I open it with Excel 2007

The file is a Excel 97-03 file

I opened it earlier but know I get this.

Page not found
The page you are looking for might have been removed,
had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

That's strange, Brad

Hello folks!

A friend told me that a link to my workbook had been added here and I wanted to come in and say a couple of things...

First, thanks for the kudos, I hope the workbook is working well for you!

Second, tell me what you want to see!

In the last couple of days I have been informed that a PDF of the book would be nice and I have NO PROBLEM doing that.  The MAIN reason I published this in Excel was for folks to have the ability to modify it for their personal use and preference.  As BBQers we ALL love to tweak to our liking!   ;D

I've also been requested to leave the book open for modifications.

PDF, no problem, I will have to go in and make sure that everything is within the boundaries of the PDF generator, but that shouldn't be an issue.

As for leaving the book open for modification...  It is!  The ONLY page that is locked is the front page of the book.  All others are open for you to modify, tweak, or expand on at will.  The ONLY thing I ask is that you leave my first page in place when you pass it along to others.

This workbook was created to assist folks that are new to the hobby of BBQ and smoking, and to help those of us that are challenged in the "remembering" realm!   :o

I'll see if I can get a PDF of the workbook done in the next day or so, and look forward to any suggestions or comments about the book that may make it better.

Welcome aboard, Buzz!

I tried to do the PDF thing with your spreadsheet, but since the first page was locked, I couldn't get it to generate any of the links, control page size, etc.   Sounds like you are on the ball with it!


And right now, we get a 404 'file not found' when using the original link posted here:

Thanks for the workbook Charlie. Good job!

First off I cook BBQ and am NOT a computer guy!   :o ;D :o

But, here is the first draft of the Workbook in PDF.  Let me know how it loads, works, etc...

Charlie,

Just opened.  Haven't had time to disseminate it closely, but sure looks good.  Great job.  Sure it was a labor of love!

Looks darn good to me Charlie. THANKS!!!

Looks good Charlie!! ;D

The Excel file has a hyperlink that's not working and it affecting the PDF also.

On the table of contents page, the BBQ Safety link doesn't work.

Other than that, it looks great.

Thanks for all the work on this and welcome to the forum.
