First contest is in the books! Went down to Monroe, LA last Friday for this IBCA and SCA event. There's a wonderful seafood market on the way where I picked up a couple of sacks of Louisiana oysters in the shell. I've been eating oysters since Friday! The SCA steak event was amazing! 61 entrants, which made it one of the biggest SCA events ever. I redeemed myself from my DAL in Fordyce, AR last year. Came in 37th even with making a rookie mistake with the Grill Grates. Turn my steak wrong and ended up with parallel lines not nice crosshatch. Oh, well, char-grilled oysters with butter and Cajun seasoning were wonderful!
I cooked this contest with a Gateway Drum and a 22" WSM. Everything was hot and fast. Kiss of death! I liked my food!
I made final table in brisket -- nothing on chicken and ribs. I'm rethinking my KCBS plans. Got the inverter replaced that burnt out on the way back from World Food Championship last year. I'm going to have to replace the marine battery. I've finally got the new fans installed in the Yoder Cimarron Pellet cooker. This should improve airflow. I'll do a test cook to check it out. I believe it would be smart to focus on one cooker and one cooker only! What do you think?
Got any good oyster recipes???
