A $35 CSN Stores Giveaway

Thanks to everyone who entered into this giveaway, Ashley R won the $35 CSN Stores gift card. She has 72 hours to email me back or I will have to pick a new winner.

I am excited to share with you a wonderful giveaway! CSN Stores is based in Massachusetts and has over 200 online stores and tons of products to choose from. They have competitive pricing on platform beds to grills to even pet products.

I recently made some purchases with a couple of gift cards I won on Renee’s Flamingo Musings blog and Sara’s All in an Iowa Mom’s Day blog.

This isn't the exact one I purchased. The one I bought is a charcoal one, not electric.

I’m really excited about making Texas-style BBQ brisket in this thing…you’ll hear more about it after I experiment.

A great deal at $9.99. Of course this is going to be used in the smoker to ensure the heat is low.

I keep hearing that the key to baking is weighing your ingredients. I have been wanting a kitchen scale for a long time!

I found searching and browsing the CSN Stores sites very easy and found what I needed pretty quickly. I was surprised on the shipping estimate for the smoker (I think it said 2 weeks) but it actually came earlier than expected. One of the grill grates for smoker came broken and I called Brinkmann and they had new grill grates sent to me within a couple of days. Prices for everything I bought as well as browsed seemed really reasonable. All in all, very happy with my purchases and can’t wait to make a smoked BBQ brisket.
