Greetings from Minnesota. Don't get alot of time to visit but I do like talking BBQ/Whiskey and of course cigars. Used to like talking about women but at my age, I like the other three better now.

Art,

Greetings from near the north country. As you can tell from my handle I'm also into barbecue. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we knew a few of the same people out on the circuit.

We'll have to get together sometime over a whiskey and a cigar and compare notes. Hope you like Gentleman Jack.

Ken in Iowa

Ken, Hmmmmm ...... I know a couple of Kens on the circuit. You may just be one of them. Then again you may not be. I dunno. The Ken I know is a Master at Representation and somewhat of a Media whore from what I remember.

aBuc, Hope you're staying dry. Good to E-meet you.

Art - Sounds like the guys you know are pretty honorable and respectable, maybe even churchly people. That definitely doesn't describe like me at all; although in the past I have attracted more media attention than I would ordinarily care to.

We'll still have to compare notes sometime.

And, aBuc, I generally like cooking BBQ more than eating it. The last time I fired up the smoker, I cooked probably 40 pounds of meat but kept only about two pounds for myself. The rest I either sold to neighbors or gave away to friends. Guess I prefer the therapeutic benefits of low and slow cooking over just eating it.

Prime beef and long ashes to all!
