2nd contest in a row is in the books! It was my home town event and I started off by cooking 50 hot dogs and 60 burgers for cook teams and judges on Friday night. Loved doing it but I know that it put me off my cooking schedule. I went back to chicken thighs this weekend and tried a new rub. 12 place was not bad there.
9th place in ribs was a surprise, I thought they were dry.
Pork, what a disaster! Started too early and too low. Bark was hard and tough and never did tender up.
Brisket -- it's a mistake for me to cook 2. I had a Snake River Farms gold and a Walmart flat. Both were good, but there was a weird point hump in the Walmart flat, so I turned in the SRF. Mistake! The Walmart one was better.
Next weekend -- doing it all again!
