We will see guys? I am a cynic, will see if it makes it!
But I also welcome my friends...I hope we can build some good stuff here! But know this...
Now, I am not gonna have a Non Pellet Cooked section, I would rather not...unless it is warranted. If you have a cook that is not on a Pellet unit and you want to show it great...If the majority of your cooks start showing up on Ceramic or WSM or Kettle, etc...Then I may have to rethink it!
-
All you can do is "light a candle" and that is what is happening here!!!!
-
Good Luck! Let's see what happens
-
I guess we will see if we missed the boat or there is still room! Thanks for coming onboard!
-
Maybe I am a dork, but I think this is exciting!! How many times does a person have a chance to be in on the creation of something and contribute and shape a forum? Everyone who is in at the start gets to help create this forum with content and pictures and ideas. I think it could be fun!
-
This is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! I would not miss this for the world. Life is finally falling into place for me. New pit, interview for a new job tomorrow and a new site. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
-
I'm just glad a "little bird" told me where you had moved. Bentley, you're like the little brother I never had.
-
Oooopsssss I think I'm on the wrong site Shhhhh ;D
-
I want everyone of you to know, I was not trying to hide it from anyone.
I had a couple of the guys emails from competing and I let them know. I told Burk over at Pelletheads.com I would never come on his site (still hard to believe) and promote this one, and I would never link it. And if anyone did to delete it ASAP. But I also told him if someone PM'ed me, I was going to tell them about here. We seem to come to a mutual respect on it.
So I would have liked to have invited everyone of you, I just did not know how to do it without being a hypocrite and a snake like someone who will not be mentioned.
Glad you are all here and the name Pelletheads.com is welcome here until they do something to make them not!
-
I am glad to be back home.
-
It won't be long
This forum will be full
-
It's so nice to be among friends
-
Howdy Y'all.

A good soul gave me a heads up in this direction, thrilled to see Bentley and some other familiar names from elsewhere here!
-
We appreciate you being here and them for the heads up!
-
Good to have you here.
-
If Bentley is the 'cheap screw', and Kristin is the 'hammer', I'm in.
-
Yeah, when I was in practice and a partner, I was often given some of the associates who were pains and causing problems with their lip and attitude. I later learned that my nickname was "the undertaker". Not really sure why -- maybe you either lived to fight another day if you got your act together or I buried you. ;D
-
It is good to be home. I am looking forward to the new forum.
-
Congrats Bentley I'm so happy that you have moved forward and with this new site i feel like I'm back home. I look forward to all the great info that you've been involved with for many years. Spread the word! Thanks again...
-
It is sometimes hard for us to spread the word because of some limitations, but we hope if folks are enjoying this forum they will let others know.
-
Happy that I get to be a part of this site and congrats to Bentley and others for making this happen!
-
We us Pellet Cookers, and other smokers. I like forums or groups that are cooker specific.

We us Pellet Cookers, and other smokers. I like forums or groups that are cooker specific.
And I like all subjects of smoking food. To me, it's not about a particular product, but more so the approach and the results.
I learn vastly more from a general board than a pit specific one.
I have a Traeger, and I'm not going to go to a MAK/GMG/Yoder/Rectec/pick one, forum to learn. I learn from all the owners here and now.
-
This site looks great
Now we need to build up the knowledge base!

Congratulations on getting this site up and established..

Thank You Bentley and your 'crew'..
TravlinMan... :bbq: :clap:

Congrats Bentley! I am excited to participate in this new forum. Looks great so far!

I have gotton a few PM's from Members thinking they may have been out of line with posting cooks not done on a pellet unit...Having gotten them, I have had to rethink...
...that original post...that philosophy may not be the one to take...I want this site to be focused on Pellets, but folks have to feel comfortable about posting ANY cooking experience! I hope many will be about pellet cooking...but it won't always be! And it wont for me either!
All I know to do...is ask you to look at the 1st post in this section one more time!

I think that's a good philosophy. You have to have somewhat of a narrow focus to fulfill your niche, as forums are almost 100% niche driven. However, if you have an extremely laser focus on that niche you can somewhat stunt the growth that is needed to have a healthy site. I'm glad you feel this way, but will keep in mind that it's a pellet site first and foremost.

Why can't I get Emerson Lake and Palmer out of my head? :o

It is good to hear from you all. I found out about the site. Great work Bentley!! Now, do you need anything.... nitrile gloves, etc....my profound favor. Just getting ready to smoke some meatballs. :clap:
-
Good to have you here!
We still have much of what you sent in 2014? Which we did get a chance to use in 2015 and we will again be using in 2018 when we go to the American Royal as Team PelletFan.com!

good deal; just let me know if and when that time comes!
-
I am onboard and excited! Thanks, Bentley!!!

I was new to PH this summer and bummed when it fizzled. But it wasn't the name or format that hooked me. It was the people, content, contributors, and a passion for meat and fire that drew me to it.
After googling to figure out what happened to PH, I stumbled onto Pelletfan. I opened the link and was like "holy ****! I found my people!" (Even though y'all don't really know me).
Anyway, so glad to have found the trail of crumbs back "home".
-
Sure glad I found you, quite accidentally as I had pretty much given up.
The acceptance email was awfully nice to see first thing this morning, thanks Bentley and Kristen.

Thanks Bentley.

Has happened more then once already!
Looks good so far, I'll hang around until somebody starts... or talking politics :cool:

This is awesome! :cool:

I was a quiet observer of the old site. But it was the place that convinced me that pellets were the way to go. Bought my 1st grill in 2011 after 2 successful cancer surgeries as treat for myself and I have never looked back. Then one day I clicked on my well used book mark and the site was gone. I must have clicked on that book mark everyday for weeks. Just as was ready to give up I googled what happened to pelletheads.com. That lead to another forum which lead me here. Bentley and everyone else involved thank you for allowing me back from a true pellet fan!
-
I, too am grateful to have found Pellet Fan. I loved PH for all of the content that was offered. I didn't post a lot of stuff, except lots of newbie questions. I researched, quite often, for a year before I decided upon my BGW Grand Slam. Since then, I had used many of the recipes, a mod and enjoyed the camaraderie and banter amongst the members. Then one day I felt hopeless with the loss of PH. I was truly Jonesing for anything pellet. Like almost hitting the lottery I stumbled onto Pellet Fan. Looking forward to the addition of many more comments, especially the recipes!
Thanks Bentley!

PS, I am really enjoying my Grand Slam

After wandering lost in the desert for a few months, I've finally found you! I've been having withdrawal symptons! :bbq:

I had no idea that guests could view our profiles. They can't anymore, my apologies for being "special" when it comes to IT and not realizing it for 4 months!

A high of 276 people at once on the site, 95% of that guests...Not sure why. 26000+ page views today...That is a weeks worth. Just simply dont understand all the guests!

That is a crazy amount. Not sure what accounts for it. I know that I direct people here on reddit often but didn't today.

I am counted as a guest most of the time because my phone makes it difficult to log on.

Most page views ever on the site this month!

I wonder why? ;D

Every day now a new Russian email trying to sign up. And they are so easy to spot. ew.tfv.qa.ij.rop@uranti.ru

Thanks to all who report the SPAM. It is appreciated. The last one was a little disturbing. You start toi get a feeling for usernames and email, but when that happens I check IP address and it is usually outside of the US so it becomes easier to spot. This IP was based in the NY city area, I rolled the dice and lost!
Ahh, a little spice for the day! Again, thanks to all who make the site what it is!

FYI, I had that connection problem again a few times this morning.

I had it a couple times yesterday morning. First in a long time.

It happened to me just recently too. I think it is HostGator related. Glad it is mostly long spells between issues!
