OTBS?

[Central PA Cowboy]

I’ve been waiting over 3 years to be in this. Anyone know how to get in this super secret club? Do I have to bake a couple apple pies and post them or what? Is there a secret handshake? What about a secret password? Am I missing something?

I vote for you. Make a piedmont stew and be a shoe in

Means a lot coming from you, my friend.

More helpful you are, the better from what I'm told....teaching and helping newbies....

@Central PA Cowboy. I’ll vote for you if you vote for me. I want to be in this exclusive club also .

It’s definitely evolved from when It first started

Just make sure you have tbs when making your piedmont stew! And please don't use gravy train in your stew! But all kidding aside, @jcam222 has ya covered! It's all about helping and sharing, I know I've learned alot from many people on here.

@Dutch based on your initial OTBS post in 2005, I feel I am ready to be inducted into OTBS. I have even taken a selfie with my new smoker, which means TBS for life.

Wow that’s awesome on how people are nominated and selected. Maybe someday I’ll get there, until then I’ll keep helping, learning and having fun!

That's what it's all about, helping others! We were all newbies here once! And after being here for awhile it's a great feeling to help others just starting out. While being a member of otbs would be a great honor...its only a few letters. I figure if I can help someone learn half as much as I have learned here I'm happy with that!
Sadly I feel some are making a joke of it and mocking it. Sad really, but most members are here to truly help others and thankful for them!
Have to say tho...go team gravy!
