[corndog]

Sorry Woody, it's got my name written all over it.... :D :D

[BBQ Angel]

Uh, no BBQinFL. That Gator Pit will be named Sweet Virginia because it is coming here. Is delivery included? :wink:

[HoosierTrooper]

I hope one of you gentlemen, or women, will be kind enough to give me some lessons on how to use this pit after I win it.

[Boo's Que]

[Bowhnter2]

I'm first, I win!!!! everybody else just give up! W

I would have been first, but I went outside to clear off some space to put it :lol:

What day should I pick it up?

[WBC]

I'm first, I win!!!! everybody else just give up! W


Actually I'm first, and you're 10th. :lol:

[deputynrc]

I'm IN (I think). I just PM'ed Gator with my shipping address. :lol: :wink:

[Texana]

Uh, no BBQinFL. That Gator Pit will be named Sweet Virginia because it is coming here. Is delivery included? :wink:

To answer your question .... YES

All prizes include shipping ....

Think about it .... Free is supposed to be Free right ????

Well that is the deal .... If anyone wins a Free prize from Winapit ... It will be Free ..........

Now lets discuss what is NOT Free .....

If you should win the Gator and you want it modified in any way or add any extras you will have to negotiate those with Ritch or Chris and the winner will be responsible for any of those costs ....

Hope that clears the air on this issue ..... now go tell all your friends to enter ....

[WBC]

[WBC]

Is everyone getting the confirmation email saying they've entered. It might be going to some people's spam folder.


Just because you didn't get the confirmation doesn't mean you're not signed up. As long as you didn't get the error message page, then you're signed up! Don't worry about the confirmation email, it is just something extra!

[gsmith]

The link of the pit you might win goes right to the texas legend. I believe you are giving away a mobile pit? Just trying to save you some grief down the road.

[nuknfutz]

Blake I just checked and did not get the e-mail. It's not in SPAM either?? :?

[BBQ Angel]

No confirmation email here. Inbox nor spam folder.

[gsmith]

none for me either

[WBC]

Oh that's right. I forgot that there's so many rediculous anti spam measures on people's ISPs that people like me have to spend hours figuring out countless ways to go around them.

I Liked it better 3 years ago when it was actually POSSIBLE to send emails to people that SIGNED UP for something. It's funny how anyone can damn near put a bomb in your mail box but I can't send an email to people.

Sorry I'm just ranting because I'm so overwelmed by email problems I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.

That's why people should not use free email servers like hotmail and yahoo.

[1044]

I think this is a great idea. In fact, I think you guys should do it every month.

[Big Mike]

Alright, I'm in. I need an offset pit. Or is that I want an offset pit. Oh yea, and some rub and jelly and jerky.


Mike

[gsmith]

have a cold one instead - much better for you

*meant in response to Blake having a nervous breakdown*

[nuknfutz]

I do get your alert e-mails when I get a PM though so unless you changed the sending address it should work.

[FairWeatherSmoker]

I have at least 6 email accounts. Can I sign up every one of them ? :)

[WBC]

I have at least 6 email accounts. Can I sign up every one of them ? :)


Yeah but you risk dealing with the script searching for repetition in your name when you register and when we choose the winners.

[Grumpy Gator]

No confirmation here... nothing in my Spam Folder either. I don't have an ISP to block stuff.

Nothin' in my mail server log files either. They log everything that hits the server.

[WBC]

Okay, now even I'm not getting the confirmation. So there might be a problem on my end. YAY I love staring at code.

[deputynrc]

Just got off the phone with my ISP :evil: (not a free one) and they told me I actually need to increase my email security. My filters are set to accept almost every thing. The only thing I am not getting is the emails from my blocked list which only has 4 senders. I guess ya'all could PM us if(when) we win!!! :lol:

Ok Now I'm not even getting the email that tells me when I get a PM!!! :(

[Bowhnter2]

no confirm.....comcast not yahoo

[FairWeatherSmoker]

When is the drawing(s) going to be held ?

[jshively]

Okay, now even I'm not getting the confirmation. So there might be a problem on my end. YAY I love staring at code.

I did not get anything to my e-mail box and I have no filtering on that account.

[deputynrc]

I haven't received the email when someone PM's me lately either. :cry:

[jshively]

I haven't received the email when someone PM's me lately either. :cry:

Check your Profile. You may have it disabled.

[deputynrc]

Check your Profile. You may have it disabled.

Nope, I did that first (before making an ***** of myself like I did on another site) :lol:

[BBQ Angel]

I did get my PM emails and the newsletter.

[jshively]

Nope, I did that first (before making an ***** of myself like I did on another site) :lol:

:lol: :lol:

I kept getting the e-mails and finally turned it off.

[Bad Santa]

I am so excited....I can't wait for that baby to be parked in my yard just smoking away and turning out some great ribs, and brisket!!
I won a pit once before, but it was a while back and it's about time for some up grades, but even better, a new one!!! So this is most forturitous for me... :wink: Here's a pic of the last free pit I won ....

[Bad Santa]

Yeah? Well quit feedin' that kid beets. It stained the wovewire bottom and took the finish off the upper rack!! :evil:

[Bad Santa]

Stole your home my butt! I won that griller in a raffle so if you lost one similar I'd go to the store and see the cartboy... :x

[triaddad]

Well, guys and gals, I hate to disappoint all of you, but the Gator Pit is coming to NC! Once it arrives, I'll be doing hands-on advertising for Rich and the gang. Oh, and after I win the pit, I'll be buying that year's supply of Texas BBQ Rub!!!
Good luck y'all.
I fully support 1044's suggestion of doing it every month.

[BBQ Angel]

Oh it will come to NC alright, on its way to VA ! :lol:

[WBC]

When is the drawing(s) going to be held ?

According to www.winapit.com it will be Dec. 1 2006. In time for Christmas.

[triaddad]

BBQ Angel, I'll be sure to invite you to the christening. I'll send directions later!!!

[HFD26]

Hey Santa, if you win that pit, guess what I want for Christmas?

[Woodman]

Nope, I did that first (before making an ***** of myself like I did on another site) :lol:

Don't limit yourself.....you've more than made an *** of yourself on this site too! :wink: :lol: :twisted:

[deputynrc]

:shock: How? When? Where?, shhhh, Maybe they won't do a search and find those threads!!!

[Bad Santa]

This is just hypothetical you know. :twisted:

[Bad Santa]

Fine print states that in case of a tie, duplicate names, and protested winners....the grand prize, hereby to be known/called as "Snappin'gator" will be awarded to the jolly, fat man who has been bringing gifts and smiles to boys and girls everywhere for years and years and only getting crumbly, stale cookies and warm milk in return (except for those nicely naughty wemmin's... :wink: ) known the world over as Bad Santa, will be awarded the prize without any delay.

[Zeeman]

I think pore ol' Thom is feelin a mite gilty since he got the Klose. He wants the li'l people to have a pit, too. Sumbody slap that boy.

[Bad Santa]

I wouldn't count on too much other than maybe an email sayin' "Sorry no winner, Please try again" since Thom opened it up to everybody West of the Divide.... :wink:

[deputynrc]

Feelin' Kinda Macho !!!

[txpgapro]

How often can you enter? Seems like you can enter as many times as you want.

[M38A1]

How often can you enter? Seems like you can enter as many times as you want.

THAT's A NO-NO since the redundant filters will catch the duplicates. You'd know that if you read the thread.

Ohhhhh - rhymes. Read the Thread. lol
(just funnin' with ya mike :D )

[txpgapro]

I don't have time to read 4 pages of threads. It should be posted on the winapit website and have a filter to block all duplicate email addresses from registering.

[WBC]

How often can you enter? Seems like you can enter as many times as you want.

If that's the way you want to do it, then that's fine. If you really want to sit down and spend the time registering 500 email addresses, then you can spend all day of your life. Just remember that we have 23,000 people just on our mailing list, not including how many more people will register in the months to come. If you think it's worth it to try and beat the odds, then have fun wasting your time.

Just cause there isn't a strict filter, doesn't mean I won't look at how many people register different email addresses when the winners are picked. Someone who registers multiple email address will CERTAINLY not win a big prize like the Gator Pit.

I don't have time to read 4 pages of threads. It should be posted on the winapit website and have a filter to block all duplicate email addresses from registering.

Yet you have the time to sit and register on a giveaway multiple times. Seems like things like these really show people's inner most intentions. Nothing like people who try to take advantage of everything given to them.

[txpgapro]

Like I said, the website made no mention of how many times you could enter. Now you make it sound like I'm trying to cheat you out of something. You're telling me that you've never tried more than once to enter a give=a=way, a raffle, etc.?

[RickyB]

Wow,
All I can say is thanks for the chance........





I have the shipping e-mail waiting in the draft box.... December is soooo long away
RickyB

[ozzie]

I can only say I agree w/Ricky...........whichever way it turns out, thanks for the chance.

I hate to tell you all this but that pit is coming to Glen Rose Texas. Redneck still wants his Falcon :wink:

I went to the Yellow Rose site and I got a question about something on the bottom of the Main Page:...what does "Save your lounge" mean?


"So now you've spent hours preparing this jerky, and it might not even be any good. Yikes! Yellow Rose Jerky has a proven taste and tenderness that would take years to imitate. Do yourself a favor. Save time, save money, and save your lounge by trying some Yellow Rose Beef Jerky today. "

[Kirk]

Well this contest was enough to bring this lurker out of the woodwork and onto the forum. I do most of my posting on TVWBB and the Brethren boards but I cruise this one pert near every day - lots of good stuff here. All I can say is WOW! This is definately the best contest I've ever seen associated with a message board. Big thumbs up to all involved for giving us a shot at some really cool prizes.
I don't want to get on the wrong side of any multiple entry rules either, but my wife and son entered too - and we all use the same cornputer (with different email addys). Hopefully this won't be a problem.

[Thom Emery]

Kirk What is your Breathern Name?

Same name and avatar on the Brethren site Thom - really just started posting there a couple of weeks ago. Your right - some serious cookers over there and some serious characters too. Not nearly as PC as the TVWBB.

[herper]

ok guys, that Gator should go where its needed the most and would be adored by so many gratefull people. Meriden Ct, home of the Q deprieved people of the country if not world.
Herper

[Garbage Gut]

I'm with you Herper but i believe Uncasville ct. is way more in need of a gator pit. If one of us wins and the wind blows just right we might at least be able to smell the smoke from the pit good luck. :D
GARBAGE GUT

[herper]

good luck. hey we got at least 3-4 ct members and a few New Yorkers. maybe we can plan a small scale Qfest. granted it can never match the Texas version but most of those boys have the electronic jewelery that dont allow em out of their caretakers area. but who knows
Herper

[Gritman]

I'm in. Sure would be nice.

[texasbill]

Good luck to all of you guys in the contest. This will be some fun for sure. And spread the word around so we can get alot of guys and gals entering in the contest.

And here I thought you were a math whiz :? . Don't you know? The more people that enter, the less my chances are :twisted: .

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree about this being fun. I'll get everyone I work with to register. Maybe we can gang up on those boys in CT :lol: .

:D Hell fellows I got my old homebuilt pit made out of a water pressure tank. I entered anyway! I would not know what to do with a fancy store bought pit??? But I guess I could learn. By the way got 8 hogs in the trap last night and put them in the cooler. :D

Sir Rennie -
Good to hear from you! Great news on the piggies too. Heck, you can always use a gatorpit. 8)

[Big Joe]

Rennie, good to hear from you brother. Congrats on the pigs. Come see us at Mesquite #928 sometime.

Joe

[Rennie]

:D I will do that if I am up that way. I skinned four of the pigs yesterday. I boned out the big one and kept three. Two of them for Fire Station #5 here in NB and one for me. Well while boneing out the big one this morning it got the better of me and I had to cook one. Tasted pretty darn good. See ya

Rennie

[BBQ Angel]

Not much longer! I even moved closer so I can just pick it up :D

[vinman]

Not much longer! I even moved closer so I can just pick it up :D


Sure! Pick it up and then get ready for the long drive to bring it to me :wink:

[1044]

You guys are just wasting bandwidth. The pit is mine. Why? Because I'm better than everyone else.

[herper]

but my spirits need a huge boost, and Christmas and my birthday are soooo close, kill 2 birds with one pit. besides it would help spread advertizing up here in the pit-ifully uninformed north as to what a real pit is
Herper

[1044]

That sounds good, at first, Herper, but put yourself aside and think of the greater good. Me.

[herper]

ok 1044 when the pit gets delivered, I will personally ship you your choice of either my New Braunsfeld pos or an R2D2 ripoff. misbehave an ya get both
Herper

[1044]

Yer 2 gud 2 me.

Okay. Winapit.com is no longer accepting any entries.

That means you have a 856 (total prizes) out of 7230 (total entries) chance of winning. That calculates to an 11.8% chance of winning! That is if my 7th grade math probablility skills are still working. :roll:

It's still better than the Texas Lottery! :D Woo-hoo! :D And go me! :D

[herper]

854total prizes. I get the mobile pit and my kind Qbrother graciously accepts 2nd place with the home pit. thanks to the sponsers and good luck to all on the rest of the prizes. :D :D :D :D :D

I do want to see a forum member scream after wiining something big.
Good luck folks

[Bowhnter2]

c'mon everybody, get out of bed! You don't need any coffee, let's draw names so we can see what we won!! I have been awake since 4:30 waiting for this (it's worse than Christmas morning for the kiddies)

Your 1 chance of winning THE PIT is still 1 in 7230 or .0001383 chance of winning. Sorry to make it sound not-so-rosy... The only way you'd have an 11% chance is if there was only 9 people in the chance pool.

DB

[Zilla]

11% chance in winning one of the prizes is what he meant, I think! :? :roll: :wink:

[1044]

I get the mobile pit and my kind Qbrother graciously accepts 2nd place with the home pit.

That ain't even funny.

[david brace]

I know...there's a TON better chance of winning the Pit than winning ANY other Lottery from ANY other state. 11% chance of winning SOMETHING is still better than a 1 in 43 million chance (or however little closer) of retiring now...If I won the big Mega-Millions Lottery, I'd buy a pit for all of us.

DB

[1044]

GO, DB! GO, DB! For the lottery, that is.

[Brew BQ]

11% chance in winning one of the prizes is what he meant, I think! :? :roll: :wink:

Herper

[serialGrillerWife]

Hey, I got an email at 1:20 A.M. saying I was one of the many winners for Win A Pit 2006! I hope it fits under the tree for Serial Griller! Blake - I hope you're feeling better. Yippee!!!! :D :D

[txpgapro]

I got my email also that I'm a winner! I replied and an now waiting on my new Gatorpit filled with a 10 years supply of Texas BBQ Rub and Texas Pepper Jelly. :wink:

[ultramag]

Typical, I lost so bad I didn't even get the email to notify me I was a loser. :shock:

[DeanC]

I received an e-mail as well. First thing I have ever won.

[david brace]

ok...I just thought it thru...only 1 prize per person.

[FAT DADDY'S]

anyone heard anything on results, of the Pit giveaway

[david brace]

anyone heard anything on results, of the Pit giveaway
Yes...just look for the WIn a Pit threads in Chit Chat.

I am disappoited of course that I didn't win, but I kinda like the enthusiasm of those who DID win...like 397 jumping outta his skin!!!

DB

[FAT DADDY'S]

Everyone got there e-mails on what they won yet? I still havn't seen an e-mail. :cry: I guess it is a long list to get down there to the left over Kingsford ashes

[david brace]

What if there are some people who don't respond to the email? Does the prize just not get awarded? Or is there a secondary prize-picking from the first set of non-winners (AKA the rest of us)?

I don't know why someone would NOT reply if they had won something. Winning is good! But not winning...well, that has it's disadvantages...
