Absolutely... we need to try and keep this legacy going! Been on this site and previous one since the beginning. Was a Good Buddy of Big Jim and Ole Man Jim. Had Big Jim build me one of his famous full size Lazy Que pits about 2002!  Still have it and it's slept in my garage every night since then! Still works like a charm. Hope all is well with all the old timers and the Newbies. I'm gonna list my phone number if anyone wants to talk BBQ or just reminisce! Later Gators

Roll Call!

Merrill Powers <capta...@comcast.net>: Mar 09 10:15PM -0500 I'm enjoying life in Wichita, KS. Still doing a good bit of BBQ, but the job seems to keep me busy with events and travel. Cooking on my Lg. EGG, WSM, homemade UDD and the Alveron custom trailer. I got on the list in July 2001 and have learned from the best!   Merrill   On 03/01/2025 9:27 AM CST PC Steve <rmscs...@gmail.com> wrote:   Gerry said " Perhaps we should do a roll call to see who's left?"   Let's do it then!   Steve Sheffield, Plant City, FL   I was around in the late 90's when I bought my Klose 6'x24" trailer pit. I was fortunate enough to attend several Qfests : Mississippi (3) , Carlsbad New Mexico, Bob's Hoof To Head in Georgia and many New Year's Day cookouts hosted by Big Jim.   I'm retired and the Klose only comes out a couple of times a year. I learned a lot and have lots of memories from this group.   --   You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Smoke Ring BBQ List" group.   To post to this group, send email to SmokeR...@googlegroups.com   To unsubscribe from this group, send email to SmokeRingBBQ...@googlegroups.com   For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/SmokeRingBBQ?hl=en   Visit The Smoke Ring website http://www.TheSmokeRing.com   Wanna talk trash instead of barbecue?

Paul Reddick <smokin...@gmail.com>: Mar 10 11:46AM -0700 Lucy, we were gonna meet one time, but traffic killed the timing. I'm in Las Vegas now, for the most part. Do you remember the guy in Japan? Will something, I think? What a nice gentleman. How time flies!   Paul   On Sat, Mar 1, 2025 at 2:21 PM 'Lucy Baker' via The Smoke Ring BBQ List <

Bacon ends

Merrill Powers <capta...@comcast.net>: Mar 09 10:22PM -0500 Hey Lucy...I'm a little late seeing this, but good to hear you still have the smoker running. I changed email a while back and couldn't rejoin the group. Just found a route to my old email and the list.   Merrill   On 02/28/2025 1:58 PM CST 'Lucy Baker' via The Smoke Ring BBQ List <smoker...@googlegroups.com> wrote:   Anybody out there? It's been a long time since I've seen any activity. I have a question:   I just smoked 10 lbs of pork belly. My Sweetie got it for me from Costco, skin on. I smoked it skin down and took the skin off while it was still warm. In the fridge overnight and then using a small slicer, I sliced it all up. I have three meaty pieces that are the width of the belly and about 1/4" to 1” thick. They wouldn't go through the slicer. It seems criminal to throw them away. Does anyone have ideas on what to do with the pieces??   Thanks!   Lucy   --   You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Smoke Ring BBQ List" group.   To post to this group, send email to SmokeR...@googlegroups.com   To unsubscribe from this group, send email to SmokeRingBBQ...@googlegroups.com   For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/SmokeRingBBQ?hl=en   Visit The Smoke Ring website http://www.TheSmokeRing.com   Wanna talk trash instead of barbecue?

Thanks for chiming in Jerald. I didn’t realize how much I missed this group until I had a question. Stick with it every one and reach out to newbies.
