For the last 6 years one of my best friends and I have entered a local KCBS event. We have had two calls when we were backyard. Last year we made the jump into the pro division. It was quite a learning experience. But we agreed it was fun enough to do it again this year.
Sadly he had an ER visit on Sunday and called to tell me he wouldn't be able to participate this year. BBQ competition is least of anyone's priorities and I told him that. His health is what concerned me the most. But as we talked more we decided that with 25 days until the competition I have the time to try to pull this off myself. He may be there for support but for the most part the smoke will be all me.
So wish me luck. I may have some help coming in town. Plus the future Mrs JLock is always willing to get into the Q action. I think that as long as I bring enough bourbon I should be ok.
