Another great giveaway! Win a $60.00 gift certificate!

Posted on July 23rd, 2010 in Cooking outdoors,Drawings and Prizes! by Gary House

Coming back from vacation always leaves me exhausted, not being rested or relaxed as I should be, I’ll blame that on my boys. We went to the O.C. Fair where I did three days of demo’s and then we followed up with two days of LegoLand! Now you know why this was so exhausting, on top of the 6 plus hours of driving time, multiple food and restroom stops, “when are we there?’ questions and so on….

So …. I need a little excitement and all of my readers are going to provide it!

I was approached by CSN stores with another opportunity to give you a chance to win a $60.00 gift certificate to their 200+ stores!

CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from cookware to cribs to dining room sets and dog beds! CSN Stores are huge, they have everything you can imagine and more, just check out their Outdoor Cooking store!

Suppose you’ll want to know how to win this $60.00 gift certificate? I am going to make this easy but you will have to put some thought into it as well. Ready, set, go:

“What do you want me to teach you next?”

For the past three years I have been teaching the “Cooking Everything Outdoors” philosophy based on my own whims and tastes but I have probably skipped over a ton of information that you are looking for. So now is your chance to let me know what you are looking for from me. There are thousands of readers out there and you all are eligible to enter!

Just enter a comment with your idea of “What do you want me to teach you next?” and you will be entered and if you have multiple ideas then you can enter multiple times; though I can only choose one winner.

Simple rules:

  1. You must make a comment with a suggestion.
  2. You may make multiple comments.
  3. You cannot mention this contest on the CSN stores Facebook page.
  4. Twittering this: “Hurry and enter to win the newest @CookingOutdoors contest! http://bit.ly/a9y9J1 You could win a $60.00 gift certificate to CSNstores.com” (without the quotes) will get you extra entries (only if you make a comment here first).
  5. This contest ends on Jul 31, 2010 at 11.59pm
  6. Winner will be contacted by CSN Stores.
  7. You must include your name and email with your comment (Please do not insert it in the comment).

That’s it!

Good luck!

Disclosure: CSN Stores has not provided me any compensation for this promotion.

    I’d like to see something on making bread

    Don,

    Bread from scratch? Beer Bread? Cooked in a Dutch oven or on the grill?

    I would like to learn to do more grilled dishes with salmon. The doctor said I need more Vit D, and that is a source for that. So – new recipes appreciated. Tks, Cyndi

    Cyndi,

    Can’t agree with you more – Salmon is best on the grill! Great idea.

    I’d like to hear what your cooking w/ a recipe and why you are cooking it.

    Could be a simple as saw peaches at store – cooking a pork butt with peaches [link to general ingredients].

    Donald,

    Great suggestion, your right I do leave out the “Why” of it some times ….. I work on that.

    Thanks

    Along that line (one more thing): I’d love to know how to roast a pig in a pit. Yum! Hawaiian roast pig.

    I agree! I have done one on BBQ’d Brie turned out really good but there are so many others to try!

    Thanks

  22. Dee said,

    How about teaching everyone how to marinade and grill the perfect steak? Including which steaks are best to use?

  26. Dee M said,

    I tweeted about your giveaway: http://twitter.com/MyBellaMia/status/19772342388

  29. Dee said,

    on July 28th, 2010 at 8:39 pm

    I think a segment on the various meal types you can grill would be great – breakfast, lunch, dinner options. grills are great especially in the summer here :)

  30. Dee said,

    on July 28th, 2010 at 8:40 pm

    fun barbecue ideas for kids would be helpful as well!

    Would it be possible to teach a lesson about picking wild berries (etc.) while camping so that they can safely be added to a campfire meal? I’m curious about wild fruits but am too afraid to eat them.

  32. Krissie said,

    on July 29th, 2010 at 11:30 pm

    Ummmm….how about how to BBQ a turkey? Either BBQ’d, smoked or in oil like a Cajun Deep Fried Turkey?

  33. Krissie said,

    on July 29th, 2010 at 11:33 pm

    How about grilled fruits, like Pineapple? There must be other fruits that are “grillable?”

  34. Dee said,

    on July 31st, 2010 at 5:27 pm

    I would like to know which steaks are best to grill and how to grill different types outdoors

    I would love to learn how to put together a Korean barbecue – ate it once and it was delicious – would love to recreate some of the grilled options!

  36. Dee said,

    on July 31st, 2010 at 5:28 pm

    another suggestion would be doing a grill tutorial on side dishes you can prepare outdoors. thanks so much for reading my suggestions :)
