Well, my first competition has come and gone. It was an amateur comp not far from my house at the KY State BBQ Festival in Danville, KY. Ribs only. While I hated everything about my ribs, color, taste, etc. I did end up taking 3rd place. I was totally shocked. I was pretty discouraged going to the awards. When they called my name, I just sat there. My wife hit me and said, "that's you!" I was 2.5 points out of first. I had a great time, met some great folks, and ate some great ribs. Can't wait to do another comp soon.

Congrats Patrick... what a way to start.. I was the same way in my first comp with my chicken.. Mine was not quite down and I butchered it (beer can chicken) trying to cut it up.. and I got second... talk about surprised...

Just goes to show that what we consider great Q is not what the judges look for.
