Took 1st place in Ribs!! Q-View coming

[ecto1]

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!

I don't have an answer for that.  I helped judge a few events and found that the winners all had something in common they were a little on the sweet side.  So I now you can get top 10 with non sweet ribs but that candy glaze on them just makes them stick out.  Look at the picture of my ribs not much sauce at all but they still have a sheen.  You have to work on appearance as well as your flavor profile.  My wife prefers my comp ribs I per fer a little less sugar.

I have to agree with ECTO, If it's not sweet your not in the money!

Yea I forgot to mention lots more pics on Facebook if anyone is interested.  It shown how I prep my chicken as well butter and rub mix under the skin.  If you like what you see don't forget to give the team a like.

Way to go!!!  Saw this on FB too.  What is the white-ish smear you put on the ribs, kind of looks a little mustardy.  You had to be grinnin from ear to ear!

Squeezable Parkay It goes on right before a brown sugar glaze then back on the pit.

Congratulations! Your stuff looks great. I'll have to give that Parkay a shot next time I'm smoking some ribs.

Hey Ecto..........keep the comp secrets.............. a secret

 They don't call it the "magic blue bottle" for nothing!

 

[ecto1]

Well they aint got the rub or sauce and I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.

Little late on this but, WOW! HOW COOL IS THAT!!! CONGRATS!!  I'd STILL be doing my happy dance if I won something like that! also went over to fb - hoping maybe a whole bunch of "likes" can go on the resume when you look for sponsors. I'd gotten the impression from the comp. stuff I've seen/read about that the judges often seem to lean toward the sweet stuff; guess I'd be the odd man out on those panels.   CHEERS! to you and your team! Keep us posted!
