"OTBS"

[icemn62]

When you feel you are ready let me know, I will be proud to nominate you for membership to the order. You are soaking up knowledge, mightily in big sweet blue puffs.

Have a cold one, tackle them ribs, and remember....LOW and SLOW. The meat should not be rushed.

 

[icemn62]

Based upon the evidence shown in this thread. I wish to nominate JMack for membership to the Order of Thin Blue Smoke. I think that even thought he does not feel he is ready, he has been freely giving up his knowledge, and it appears, he knows his way around the grates. I also wish to include that his humbleness, is actually a sign that he knows what he is doing, and has that quiet confidence to produce good eats...err, fine BBQ.

His BBQ Kung Fu is very strong.


Opps I forget to include the link....

WOW! A nomination, what a fantastic early mornin' treat. Thanks Gary! I have a few more smokes that I would like to "nail", and I promise (to all) that I will continue to contribute and post. I've grown quite fond of the family here, and don't go a day without checking in. I am humbly honored by your gesture, again, thank you.

I couldnt agree more, Gary. The photos of his recent success yesterday with both ribs and chicken are all the convincing I need. I whole-heartedly second your nomination. SmokeMack is most deserving of membership in our honored brotherhood.

Cheers,
Brian

I also have to agree, JMack has been helpful to others and has proven he has mastered the thin blue smoke!!

Here Ye! Here Ye! Brothers and Sisters of this hallowed Order, be it known to all that on this day the eleventh of August, Two Thousand and six, that I, BrianJ517, Knight of the Order of The Thin Blue Smoke #004, do herby enter my nomination of TommyC for membership.

Cheers,
Brian

Sir Brian, I second the nomination of TommyC for membership to the Order. His BBQ Kung Fu has also grown in leaps and bounds. He is more than willing to help someone, less knowledgeable than he. The Order would be proud to include TommyC in its ranks.

 

[Dutch]

Be it known that I, Dutch, Grand Knight of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke duly recognise and acknowledge the the nominations that have been presented and seconded.

Having reviewed the progress of SmokeMack and Tommy C and having seen first hand their willingness to share their knowledge of the Thin Blue with others; I accept these nominations for membership into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke and bid "Welcome" to Brother SmokeMack OTBS #035 and Brother Tommy C OTBS #036 into the Circle of Honor.

 

[brianj517]

I'll be sure to raise a tall & frosty glass to your honor just as soon as I can unshackle myself from the grips of the daily job.

Cheers,
Brian

[icemn62]

No beer, today, I will toasdt the new brothers to the order with the aid of White wine. I know it is different , but I want the salmon to really stand out. I can always go get a beer after dinner.

Welcome, new Brothers and fellow Knights! Display your skills proudly, entertain graciously and offer your talents and skills to those who wish to learn!
Cheers!
Monty

 

[smokemack]

As I raise my glass of home made Honey Lager (a work mate brews at home) here at work, I can't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion. You all have been so gracious to share, and kind (and quick) to help. Thank you! I shall strive for smoke nirvana, and continue to share with all who care to listen. I will continue to learn, as long as you all continue to teach.
#035 will proudly grace my signature from this day forth, and I shall not waiver from the rich history and fiber of the order.
Congrats to you as well TommyC. I am proud to be a member of the class of 06112006 with you. Thank you all!!

 

[Dutch]

Cheers!

Your attention, please, all Knights of the Thin Blue Smoke! I feel it my honour as well as my duty to bring forth the name of Richard C Magnum, Vulcan75001, for entry into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke. Here is an individual, who by his humble approach and demeanor, has stayed below the radar of those who would otherwise recognize his worth and potential!
Grand Knight of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke please review this nomination and all Knights please chime in your seconds!
Respectfully submitted with cheers!
Sir Monty

 

[Dutch]

Gee Monty, Here I was thinking that you were nominating Richard to be our Historian!! I patiently await his seconding.
