Thanks Todd did not get a chance to use the amazing smoker this time like the last I am having a problem getting it to stay lit in the UDS.  No issues in the MES at all just the UDS.  I still always have it with me and have showed it to as many teams as I could.  If you sent me some business cards I would love to hand them out for you.  We only plan to do between 6-10 cook off a year but if we keep winning money we will defiantly be able to fit more in.  The summer here in Texas is slow for comps because it is slow but fall will pick up.  Want to get three more in for practice before we go to Meridian, TX in October.

Congratulations ECTO!!!!  Now I've got to dig to find your brine recipe.  Have you posted a recipe for the 1st place ribs? 

 

[ecto1]

No but it is no secret give me a few days and I will work out a step by step.  Just remember comp ribs are going to be a little on the sweet side.  I have been planning a step by step pictorial to share with this forum.  Heck if you go to my Facebook and look at the pics it is basically a step by step.  Any question just ask.

Thanks a lot!  Just checked out your FB page.  Is that your son with you during the competition?  Pretty cool.  My folks came down for what should have been my graduation ceremony this past first week of May.  All the tornados we had come through here on the 27th of April kinda messed up the ceremony schedule, so all we did was hang out at the house, play with the new smoker and expand my vegetable garden.  It was heaven.  Now, my Dad's been drooling over my new smoker and nagging Mom to get one.  Hopefully soon we'll get him one.  We've been talking a lot over the phone here lately about what I've been putting on the grill.  Kinda cool to connect on another shared interest.

I like my bbq a little on the sweet side anyway.  Thanks for putting that recipe together.

that is my little brother.  BBQ is a family affair and it should be.  My kids 4 and 6 love it when I que and will tell everyone they know they love daddy's chicken and ribs.  I am far from an expert but if you have any question just ask and I will be glad to share my knowledge.  Anything for a former soldier.

Why would that be? That seems strange to me.

Most judges have a sweet tooth?

I like ribs sweet or not sweet, but my Son hates sweet ribs. I put some brown sugar on a rack one time, just before I put it in the smoker. He was very disappointed. Picky--Picky--Picky!
