Great Giveaway Sweepstakes Winners | |

May 2024 Grand Prize Winner | |
Lynn Newsom, a.k.a. familiar pal "Oak Smoke", won this month's Grand Prize. He picked the Platinum Medal-awarded Portable Kitchen PK360 Grill + Smoker, MSRP $899.
"I am speechless! Thank y’all so much. I’ve got to go look at the list now! I want that PK 360! Wow!" Lynn said.
It didn't take him long to look at the list. Congrats, Lynn!
| | | |
Portable Kitchen PK360 Grill and Smoker takes all the great elements of the classic 1952 PK Grill, tweaks and improves the design, beefs up construction and delivers one of the more cosmetically beautiful charcoal grills we’ve seen. With 360 square inches primary cooking surface, the grill box is larger than the 300 square inch Classic model, but retains PK’s characteristic flat bottom and rectangular shape with the unique configuration of bottom left and right adjustable air intake dampers and corresponding top left and right exhaust dampers, a set up that has always made Portable Kitchen King of the 2-Zones. | |

Third Prize Winner

Jeremy Payn, a.k.a "PaynTrain", is this month's Third Prize "Backyard Pitmaster Edible Prize Pack" winner.
"It is sad to see someone miss out on their winning, I am glad to reply and score!" Jeremy said.
| | | |
He said this because he was the 3rd Third Prize winner picked; the first 2 didn't respond and forfeited the prize. Good for Jeremy, bad for them. Don't let that happen to you!
