Any outdoorsy type of mag should be interested I'd think. Maybe
"Country" magazine, they love feel good countrified whimsy stuff
there. I kinda recall your story, not saying all those designations
apply, just giving you an idea of what they like to publish.

Perhaps Southern Living. It's hard to tell with that vague
description, but I understand you can't 'publish' it here.

Well, I just glanced at Southern Living and it's seems to have
turned towards the Martha side since I last previewed it. I
remember it being more of a hand-on outsdoorsy mag.

I have been on this NG for a number of years, and when I have the
answer or comment to a post, I post it. But most of you experts
are much better and quicker than I am, so you don't see many post
from me.

I'm retired for the last twenty years (77 years old), and earn a few
extra bucks by writing magazine articles - mostly for sports
magazines like Field & Stream, etc.

I have a story that I think is pretty good - at least saleable, that
I don't know where to send it. The title is, "Free Barbecue Wood",
and the genre is humor. It is about colleting BBQ wood, and getting
rid of the brush that goes with it.

Actually, I posted it on here, maybe four or five years ago, while
it was still in the development stage, and most thought it was very
good. Perhaps, some of the old timers on here might remember it.

Now, I need to peddle this story, and can't find a suitable magazine
to sell it to.

Do any of you guys know of a barbecue magazine that might be
interested in it? I guess if I can't sell it, then in the near
future, I'll post it on here and it anyone enjoys it enough, they
can contribute to the fund.

Sorry, to be so off topic, but I really do appreciate you help.

Can you point me to the original thread, was it under bob-tx? I did a
google groups search and didn't see much at all. It would be fun to read.
