I'm still smiling!


P.S. We placed 2nd in Brisket. The team right next to us was first. They had 2nd in Chicken, 3rd in Ribs, and 1st in Brisket.

We ate their winning brisket. It was nice. However, it absolutely was not fully tender. And felt a little drier than ours, too. The fat cap was a little more than 1/4 inch, and it was not fully rendered - still had a bunch of tug on it. Needed more time on the pit to get looser and that fat to render.

Here's what I'm thinking: the contest had a small stable of teams, and it might seem disheartening to have one team sweep the standings. I'm just guessing, but that's my guess, they decided to share the wealth.

I agree with their idea. After we won 1st in the first 2 categories, I was hoping we didn't sweep all 3. I want to be an encouragement to the bbq peeps in my city.

We made friends and I really liked that part

Great work, Thanks for posting this. Its looks like you all had a great time. What was your entry fee?

[PaulstheRibList]

$250. Earnings were $950. (Career BBQ earnings now in the 4 Figure,Yahoo!!)

It's like the catering job with $1000 in labor cost in which I purchased a $2,600 new cooker to pull off the job...
