Welcome to the 2022 WKC Secret Santa - a fun way to to get to know more members and end the year with some holiday cheer. Secret Santa is pretty simple, we'll blindly exchange names/addresses and do a little gift swap by mail. It's fun to get a grill-related gift and even more fun to give something nice to your fellow WKCers.
General Rules:
- $20 minimum suggested value. No maximum limit. Give from the heart, but don't tap your retirement fund. Make it personal. Keep it simple.
- Sign up deadline: December 9; 8pm EST.
- Ship via trackable shipping method in time to arrive before the end of the year. Shop early. Ship Early.
- Due to complications with shipping/customs/logistics internationally, this will be a US/Canada event only again this year.
- WKC is not responsible for lost or damaged packages.
- Don't ship anything illegal, regardless what your member match is begging for.
- Once you sign up and complete the survey, you're in. No backing out at the last minute. Non-shipment and non-communication will be a banable offense.
Official Sign Up Survey
Click the following link and fill out the survey completely. This survey is the ONLY way to officially enter. You will be asked for your real name, your WKC screen name, address phone number and email address, along with gift ideas and other interests. After December 9, you will be sent your SS member's info via. PM. Here's the link to the survey:
https://forms.gle/prm9XGHgrq5RXJ2UA
Once you have completed the above survey, copy the numbered Secret Santa list below and past with your name below so folks can see who is participating.
To keep things simple, we'll use this same thread to reveal gifts as they arrive. Feel free to post your haul, but you are under no obligation to do that.

Nice gifts!

You must have been a very good boy this year Troy! Nice gifts, I really like the dark side of the kettle T-shirt.
Cheers

Thank you [mention]bladz [/mention] for my gifts! I appreciate the local rubs, chuck inserts, and handle. So thoughtful. Opening that box made a rough day end on a different note. Merry Christmas

When your Secret Santa comes all the way from Plainfield Indiana to bring you a gorgeous blue 18" kettle you gotta consider yourself a pretty lucky guy. Thank you @michaelmilitello for an amazing gift! I feel like a little kid at Christmas....

Thank you SS. It will be well used (after assembly) ;D ;D ;D
Santa just dropped off a stash of Chicago area rubs and sauces. Can't wait to try these out with my grill buddy, as soon as we get a warm spell. Thanks Karl, and Happy New Year Everybody!

Thanks to my SS JEBIV for hooking an old man UP. 2 6 packs of local beer from Tucker Brewing in Tucker Georgia, an awesome Cuisinart grinder to mix my own rubs. Along with a roll of Georgia Peach butcher paper. But the handle from the SE meetup is the shit. Sorry, no pics unless someone else want to load them. Thanks so much to Joe and Tami. Happy Holidays.
My amazing SS gift arrived today and I literally felt like a kid on Christmas as these were an absolute bullseye!
The rubs and spices all look incredible and will be seeing use very soon! Stay tuned for incoming "LIVE What's on your grill" content 8)
Cannot thank you enough Santa! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Glad you like your gifts Scott, let me know your thoughts on the beer!
Wings seasoned with Oak Ridge Santa Maria, over a Vortex of JD XL bricks and hickory chips. Haven't done these in a while. Im gonna miss OakRidge Co.! Finished with BBQ King Spicy Sweet and Pineapple Habanero sauces from my Secret Santa.
And cookies for my aspiring grill buddy, Daisy. You had to have seen that coming.
Yesterday I seasoned up some ground beef with the BBQ King brisket and steak rub I got from my Secret Santa and made burgers. Cooked on my Jumbo Joe and table combo. It was a pretty day outside, just cold. Served with fries, some homemade whiskey river sauce and a glass of homemade lemonade.
Thanks to @nvandyke for these nice SS gifts, late posting as life has been a little whirlwind lately. Wore the shirt already, we will definitely enjoy the hot sauces, and I'm ready for a nice cask strength bourbon in the new glasses !!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230117/1c48ebc387114b14cc43cf78520e6e48.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230117/d91be1f3e75429192f373332b2915117.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230117/8c3cb828a80a8906f6cf0dde4c68ddf5.jpg)

[mention]bladz [/mention] looks good! The original had a good 53+ years.
This aristocrat is all about what is best about the WKC. The kettle was a trade with [mention]Kneab [/mention] The handle was a secret Santa with [mention]bladz [/mention]and the ash pan was from [mention]Bertl [/mention] via [mention]Jeff [/mention] Into its 2nd half century, this kettle still cooks like a dream.
