Hey M.W.!

I sent them an email inquiring as to status on Saturday but I'm assuming that they wouldn't respond until today sometime...I'll check my AOL email when I get home after work to verify.

Thanks for the info on Jack's - to bad they are Western WA, I"m moving to Spokane either this year or next - would have been nice if they were closer!

Got my 3 boxes of wood pucks (Maple/Mesquite/Special blend) and 1 bag o' bubba pucks!

Thanks Kirk! (3 days from Indiana to California!!) it don't get better than that![:D]

America's Best BBQ responded today that "FedEx will notify me via email when they ship and expected delivery date" they further said: "normal delivery is 10-15 days"...they didn't say from when though...maybe from the date FedEx ships??? It is now day 7...[:(]

Yes it does Kirk...anyone reading the post will surely wonder if $10 bucks is worth it all! But, that's what I promised to do - post my experience so others can learn from it!

Hey Big Fuzz,

Just wanted to let you know that <s>Americas Best</s> is off my referance list. I feel bad for ya. Just think a life that is on hold and not being enriched by a BS. That is painful. I enjoy this little black box to no end. You must try making your own bacon (this was something I never thought I could do) it is fairly easy and down right great. Give us some pictures when you get that thing seasoned in well.

Hey, do any duck hunting out there??

SmokeOn,
