Welcome from SC, K-Dude. This is a great site and there lots of folks who are always ready to share their ideas, tips and recipes. All you have to do is ask and keep reading. Sharing is a wonderful way to make friends, especially pics. We will always appreciate pics.
Don't think that you have stepped on anyones toes. The folks here are some of the toughest-skinned people that you will ever meet. Jeff's recipes are not shared and you have already discovered why. Personally, I think it's a great way to fund the site and to maintain the site.
Good luck and keep smokin', we're glad that you're here, Joe
