August Sweepstakes Winners | |
Each month, around the 7th-10th of the month, we draw 3 Pitmaster Club members' names out of the hat for Grand, Second, and Third Prize and add them to the winner's list, 36 winners each year.
| |
|
Grand Prize winners get to choose a cooker from several of our favorite Gold & Platinum medal-winning cookers, which range in value up toward $2,000.
August 2022's GRAND PRIZE winner is Larry Willner, a.k.a. "Lwillner"!
| |
Larry selected the Green Mountain Grills Ledge Prime Plus Pellet Cooker Package, MSRP $1,059.00 | |
"Holy crap! This couldn't come at better time as I need a new smoker. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!...I love the site, the newsletter and Meathead's original cook book. I love to see what others are doing and experiment on my own. Thank you again", he said. Congrats, Larry! | |
|
Second Prize winners get to pick 1 prize from among the Pit Barrel Cooker, Ergo Chef knife set, Fireboard 2 remote thermometer, or the Cuisinart 360 Griddle Cooking Center; they run in value up to $399.
August 2022's SECOND PRIZE contingent winner is Robyn Largent, a.k.a "Smokin' Hole"!
| |
He chose the Cuisinart 360 Griddle Cooking Center, MSRP $350.
They say that innovation comes in all shapes and sizes and the Cuisinart 360 Griddle Cooking Center immediately speaks to that. Most outdoor griddles are rectangular, but the Cuisinart 360 Griddle is one of only a couple griddles where the cooking surface is round! The 22” griddle sits atop a two burner system that transfers heat from two independently controlled burners to the griddle surface.
| |
|
Third Prize winners get the full Backyard Pitmaster Prize Package with a variety of cool stuff as shown here: | |
August 2022's THIRD PRIZE winner is Ron DeSantis, a.k.a. "CulinaryNXT". | |
"Pumped! Can't wait to try Meathead's rubs. Hey Meathead, I still talk about your demo/dinner at Yale!" he said. Congrats, Ron! | |
