Hey Chris, Your New Beer Pole....Seriously (Pics)

[tx smoker]

Wonder if there is a wider market for a side gig selling a few? I’d get one!

Well, being that Chris ( @gmc2003 ) and Dave ( @hammer77 ) have graciously declined the offer, it's yours if you want it....and don't live in a place where shipping costs would be painful

However I got an idea. Would you be open to the idea of a Throw Down in Chris's honor?

I wopuld certainly be open to the idea, but it would require agreement from all 3 committee members: myself, Chris, and Jake ( @TNJAKE ). If those guysd want to give it a run, I'm all for it.

That would make a damn fine trophy!

I have the stuff to build another one but if this is going to be a trophy, I'll need to think through it and come up with something a bit more deserving. The one shown here is just too basic.

But, I don’t know about their teefs compared to mine! I must say I am more handsome.

I'll give you credit on the teefs but not going to concede on the handsome part

[tx smoker]

I was hoping you were gonna say that . Just not the same .

I don't disagree with you in the least. His current beer pole is iconic and a large part of his SMF personae. I understood that going in so gave him the option.

Although this one was real good, and easy on the toofs.

Chris, sugarcoat it however you want, but that pic is just plain wrong

Plus if he has a hand in it he can't compete

Fear not!! I can't compete anyway. Being that I'm on the TD committee as well as being a sponsor, that rules me out right out of the gate....not that I'd stand any chance at all of being anywhere near the top of the voting.

Right outside of Minneapolis and it could be sent to my work that has a nice large dock in back for them to drop off at!

 

[tx smoker]

It is damn cool and if no one wants one I mean heck yeah I’m in.

Send me a PM please with full name and address. It's yours if you want it so I'll get it packed and shipped.

Robert

 

[tx smoker]

Great guys, each and everyone of you.

I agree. There are a ton of great people who call this place their home away from home. A super bunch of people, that's for sure.

So I was honored to be gifted this awesome beer pole. I'd love to have a great picture of it out in the garage or on the deck but I had it shipped to my work. Trying to save a little on shipping that @tx smoker covered while literally giving this to me. Thank you so much this is so cool. Pack job was incredible too.

Merry Christmas in April
Very nice !

 

[bigfurmn]

Seriously! It's incredibly built.

It looks a bit out of place in an office environment but I'm thrilled it made it to you in tact. I have no faith in the shipping companies so went to extreme lengths to pack it in a way that was as idiot proof as I could make it. Can't wait to see it in action on a cook real soon.

WOW! Looks like it could hold a 24oz Fosters. . .Well Done My Friend!

I was just catching up with this thread and noted the comments about a bottle opener. Do you think the openings left at the bottom of the round pipe could function as an opener? If they happen to work…pure design genius!

My GM has been in the industry for over 20 years, I’m over 15 years. We work in domestic and international freight. That was incredibly well packaged. Again thank you so much for the beer pole.

 

[bauchjw]

Wow! That is a SpaceX style beer pole! I love it! Generous and amazing work!

 

[bigfurmn]

Tri tip and beer pole.

 

[bigfurmn]

Almost think I should have made a thread outta this dinner.

 

[Fueling Around]

Beer pole positioned well.
Nice job on the tri tip.
Is it that cold enough up there to generate a lot of steam or is that all smoke?
We start north tomorrow
