The Sam's Club tour is in my town today. So I dragged the long suffering with me to go have a look. My timing was great as I got to peak at a couple of rib boxes being assembled. It was close to rib turn in time!
I chatted up a few teams. I'm sure this is pretty standard, but everybody was very nice. Talked equipment with some. Lot of Weber Smokey Mountains being used. As well as several pellet grills. Just a wide range of equipment in use.
Wore one of my shirts I like.....my t shirts always make a statement
One team flagged me down as he loved my shirt.....had to show his wife too. He had a cool pellet grill mounted to a trailer that was made in Minnesota.....pretty cool. He insisted I sample a rib. It was one of the very best ribs I have ever had......just perfect IMHO.
Just a neat experience. Would like to try a comp someday.
