I really appreciate the kind words Dave and feel lucky to consider you a friend. You've been equally generous to me and your contributions to the site should also not go un-praised! I will never tire of seeing your Ranch or Sequoia loaded up with fantastic feasts. The variety of stuff you come up with is just awesome and inspires me to try and become a better cook. This November I completely ripped off
@Idahawk's TG turkey brine/recipe/cook and even bothered him with a text for some quick help the day of
Cheers Coach - My first ever kettle Turkey was a huge hit!
Thank YOU sir!

I also need to send out a huge
Thank You to the WKC community as a whole. MANY people were very kind to me this past year and I'm extremely grateful to all of you - Your kindness means more than you could ever know. Thank you very much. The generosity and willingness to help out others is what sets this place apart... it's infectious! and makes you want to do the same for others.
I'd love to list off about a million people but I'm going to keep this extremely short and only call out 3 more. To the rest of you, once again thank you - meeting so many new people has been just awesome. Anyways... here we go...
@MrHoss has become a good friend of mine. We've worked a few deals, exchanged a few "care packages" and shared excitement in many cool finds over the past few months. Hopefully I can get back east one of these days and meet up with you and
@MacEggs (Another top notch member and friend!) for a beer and some bbq! Thanks Mike for everything, you're a great guy eh!
@Troy is next on the list. Thank you and the other founders for providing each and every one of us with this amazing hobby. This place is a rarity amongst a sea of BS forums filled with haters and drama and it's such a refreshing change. You've also been a good friend to me and listened to a lot of random shit that had nothing to do with kettles. Thanks man, I truly appreciate all you have done both for me and everyone else here.
@Plant_City_Mike is another person I've been lucky enough to meet this past year. It all started with the sale of a Plum kettle shortly after I signed up and we've remained in touch ever since. Michael has gone to ridiculous lengths in order to help me secure a grill that has been in the works for months now. It will have to remain hush hush for now until we sort out the final details but it sounds like that is going to happen fairly soon. I am still blown away by the kindness he has shown to me and only hope I can pass some of that generosity along to others this coming year.
Once again, Thanks all, and may you each have an excellent 2015!
