Big Bang Pellet Trap

I'll take one and a side of crawfish jumbalya please.
Hello @Str8tshooter

Received your PM and I have added you to the list. I will let you know which Production Run you will be in just as soon as Pete starts shipping the first Traps. Bye the way, he is fabricating the "patterns" today so actual production will start real soon.

No Jambalaya but if you are here at lunch time I have a big pot of Shrimp Gumbo on the stove right now :LOL:

Thanks again,
ThomasT
 
Hello everyone,

OK I got curious and poured all the spent pellets out of the Big Bang Pellet Trap into a plastic jar. Put that on a scale and as you can see, about 1-pound and 2-ounces. Do the math, there are 7000 grains to a pound :unsure: , that’s a lot of spent pellets :oops:

Nice! I'm sure someone will take them if you can't use them :)

Hello @HogKiller

Man some fresh Crabs in my gumbo would have been great. Many years ago when I lived in San Leon I would go down to the Shrimp Boat dock when I would see some coming in and buy a gunny sack of Crabs. Get 10-pounds of fresh Shrimp and then go by Johnny's Oyster House and pick up a sack of Bay Oysters. Call a couple of friends tell them what I had and in no time we would have one heck of a boil. The ladies would bring so many side dishes of food it was incredible.

Hello again @HogKiller

Piping hot bowl of Uncle Tom's Shrimp Gumbo and some South East Texas Long Grain White Rice, ooooooohhhh:p. You know to warm the cockles of your heart on a cold Winter's day when the temperature drops below 68 degrees.

Hello everyone,

There is only one (1) more Trap available to sell from this first run.
Talked with Pete this morning and he plans to work his shop on Saturday and complete 10 units. At that time ( most likely Monday ) he will be getting in touch with those on the list to complete the order.

I would like to hold up any more orders after number 10. This will give Pete time to get his "ecommerece" set up .

Thanks again for working with me guys.

Hello everyone,

All SOLD OUT on production run Number 1.

As I stated earlier, the first orders will most likely start being filled by Monday of this coming week. Pete will call you and get all the information to ship to you.

Boy this caught me off guard and I am so pleased to share my design with those that made a purchase. You will be most pleased when you see how well these are made and how heavy duty they actually are.

I will get in touch with Pete tonight and send him all the info that you fellows have given to me, thanks again.

As I already told you Thomas thank you for making this happen.
Hello @jccams

You and everyone are more than welcome, my part in all of this is very small, I just hope I have not messed up on any orders or information.

Now with that stated, you fellows need to get your traps, shoot the heck out of them and then tell Pete how much you appreciate what he is doing for this community. It doesn't take a genius to figure out he isn't making any money off of these and it does require a lot of his shop time. He is a good friend and doing all of us a kind favor.

Thanks fellows,
ThomasT

Congrats on the success! Glad to see everyone liked it -

I shoot steel silhouette targets in my back yard set up so I can run around larping and shooting, lead gets everywhere.

Wondering if you guys would be able to drum something up but I'm shooting my Huben and Rattler so it'd have to handle 250 FPE @ 20 yards.
Hello @allinssd

Send me a PM with what you are looking for and I will back in touch with you.

That's actually cruel. Just for that I'm going to go buy a bunch of Dungeness crabs and some fresh Sour Dough bread, with butter and garlic. I'd do some great bodily harm for some nice large Gulf Shrimp.
