And Johnny THANK YOU for getting Alan to sign up - now...get him posting! ;D

Once we get that 200 or so number - I will go after some sponsorship - but we will never be beholding to an individual manufacturer.

The idea is to sell some banner space at the top of the page- but not ever have the site cluttered with ads. This will allow manufacturers to advertise a bit, and have their own board for Q and A's, new product announcements,  etec. But - the forum belongs to us, the folks that actually cook ;).
If we can just make the site pay it's way, pay the admin for some of his time and much appreciated effort ( THANKS RICK!) - and perhaps help fund a few get togethers....well - that is the plan.

But - back to LA's point..we need membership to build content. And- that memberships needs to post things, and be willing to participate some. No pressure - we are just looking for folks that like to cook outdoors, are open minded, and amiable.
