2016 OTBS Inductions-just in time for Summer!

[smokin monkey]

Totally unexpected, little overwhelmed with this honour. Thank you to all the OTBS members and especially to the members who nominated me. Just hope in the future I can help to maintain the high standard of information, help and behaviour this forum provides.

Would also like to congratulate fellow members who have been inducted!

I was surprised you weren't in. I've always thought you were a better smoker than me. Congratulations, Brian.

Guess it depends....   If you was an A or B, you wouldn't get noticed much...  you'd have to be a Double D to get noticed in Texas....

Congrats to all!

Good luck and good smoking.

Congrats to all the new inductees...very much deserved by each of you! This may as strong a class as we've ever had! Like others have already said, there are some of these guys who I thought were already OTBS!

Now I expect you guys to buy a round of beers when the Award Stipend comes in the mail...:biggrin:

And an extra congrats to Bear...that was past due in my humble opinion Thumbs Up

I know you'll all do the OTBS proud!

Sir I would like to join the group of OTBS. I know I can follow your guidelines and give back to the people who need help. Or at least point them in the right direction. I see what the difference is since I been using my AMNPS. I used to think that smoking meats ment pushing thru tons of thick smoke. I now know the difference. By using my AMNPS it has been beautiful smokes achieving the best possible meats at the end result. I always promise to show my work and to explain what steps I have taken to get to the end result of my finished foods. I praise this site as it has filled me with a better understanding of how to smoke things the right way. I thank everyone here as I think they are the masters of the smoke and don't need a trophy to prove it. Just good pictures of what they made.
Again. Thank you all.

On top of this you have to be an active member at least 1 year, Demonstrate a superior knowledge of smoking meat and pass it on by helping Newbies and answering questions.
