Oh! So you started that!!! ;D ;D ;D

As far as old timers I wish would come back would be Tenpoint five and also NePasmoker. He is great help when it comes to making sausage!!

I still stop by just busier than a one legged man at a butt kicking contest! Been working a lot of 64 hour weeks with no end in sight till around Xmas they are telling us. Seriously cuts into my sausage making! Although I will be off the weekend of the 8th of August for the 6th MWSO

Still check the posts. Haven't posted for a while. Last year was lost due to health but am started smoking again. Unicorn meat. 7 racks of ribs last Friday for boat show gathering in grand marais and 5 racks the Friday before for friends headed into BWCA. Miss the old group that was always keeping the interest up.

I haven't smoked in months due to health reason's, thyroid cancer they will not operate do to a stroke we had a year ago, and I have COPD and CHF-(congestive heart failure) and blood thinners. Oh what fun this is. I will be doing some Wala Wala Onion salt around the first of July as I have 50lbs of onions on order. If health permits me and the wife will take a trip to England to see my grandson who is at a disabled children home working for school credit. With all the things going on, all airlines require a Doctors approval 72 hours before any international flight if you use a approved TSA POC (personal oxygen centrator) and if they don't like the report you don't fly.

I'm gonna say a prayer for you tonight when I go to bed. NEVER underestimate the power of prayer!

Many forums change "attitudes" after a bit of time. I usually don't much care for the shift.

Gafala - hope you're knee deep in good clear rough. I hope that you get to go on your trip! That would be awesome. And a prayer or two or more will be run up the pole.

Heh, where did they all go? They got tired of the BS from the "experts". That's where they went. Bradley has a Facebook page that is more active than the Forum. Bradley Smoker Fan Club. It's a closed group so you have to be admitted. I'm an admin on that page as well so let me know and I will be sure to admit you.

I check in when I can, Like others a new job has got me hopping. I had to spend 6 months in an Austin rent house with a spare SRG as my only means of outdoor cooking/smoking. Now that I'm back home I'm hoping to get back to more smoking and cooking. I'll try to post some cooks if I have any interesting ones.

TNRockyraccoon · July 26, 2015, 12:35:36 PM

I've been MIA a lot over the past year because I've been so busy working. Still smoking every days lunch on my Bradley and my clients still love it.

The old timers and lurkers here helped me so much and I still find little gems from the past threads. I still read the forums when I can but most questions are better answered by others and my input isn't needed.

I'll try to get on the Facebook page soon.

I am certainly not an old timer but I have learned so much from those of you who are. I appreciate all the help and the wealth of shared knowledge. I know some of you don't post as much as you used to but just know that there are many of us who truly do hold your comments and suggestions to the highest regard and do feel honored that you are out there to help. 10.5., kynola, pensrock, habs, nepas, pikeman, to name a few, thank you!

I've only been here half a year, but really appreciate all of you that still post, as it helps newcomers like me. Learned a lot.

Quarlow · August 15, 2015, 11:17:05 AM

Seems I been here 64 days 5 hours and twelve mins. unless I read it wrong. Been busier than a two peckered billy goat. I haven't even had time to smoke much at all.

I guess I'm not really one of the "oldtimers" but used to visit the forum at least once a day and really enjoyed my time here. Then a while back some "nonsense" started, which affected the "mood" of the forum and I decided to stay on the sidelines until the issue went away. I thought that was resolved when the main instigator resigned. However, based on the comments in reply 4, it appears the issue continues. Hopefully this will get resolved soon and the forum will get back to the welcoming and friendly place it once was.
