It is fine to mention other sites, we all do it as needed.
But, when it is possible - we like to post the information here on LTBBQ, and absolutely give credit to the original post and website. This helps to build the LTBBQ data base so that we can continue growing the content.
Again - and this is the important ( and often misunderstood ) part: We MUST give credit to the original poster/website. So, don't worry about mentioning other sites, we are ALL members of several forums. We are not anti- other forums here
. What our House Rules try to explain is the difference between mentioning, and promoting. Promoting is usually pretty obvious. I did not see that your post was promoting - it was pointing to good information, specific to the discussion. Still, whenever possible, copy and paste here - and give credit to the site where it came from, and even post the link to the original post.
So, Dan, sorry for the confusion, we are trying to refine the policies so that they protect LTBBQ and you all as members. It is our goal to create 1 place that you can find most of the useful for outdoor cooking.
