I have a few updates that are of actual concern to most people who are reading this thread, Cape can go back to trying to convince everyone that his BBQ is better than mine later on. Good luck.
So here is where things stand at the moment.
I got an e-mail from one of the SSBC members who was also attempting to solicit prizes from the raffle and he received a $100 gift certificate from Northern Brewer as well as a few smaller items like posters and tee shirts. I also received an e-mail from the winner of the 26 gallon pot in which he states that he is not currently able to use such a big brew pot nor does he expect to be in the future. That is certainly understandable, I guess that there are few people who actually do have the capacity to use such a big kettle.
Here is what I am going to do.
I am going to send the $100 gift certificate along to the winner of the big pot as a 'consolation' prize and offer up the pot to the highest bidder. You have until Monday morning to get your bids in by PM to me. (Winners will still be responsible for any shipping costs. The pot is around 43 pounds, in a box and ready to go. I imagine that shipping would be expensive, it does not say on the box how much it cost to ship it to Mass from CA.)
Of course, the money that we get from the auction for the pot will go into Jeff's fund.

Also, someone left a crock pot here. While it is a very nice crock pot and appreciate the gesture, I already have one. Besides, eventually your SWMBO is probably going to notice that you didn't bring it home and she's probably going to want it back. But they are your gonads, you decide.
