    It was a blast. The family and I had a lot of fun. Great people and awesome atmosphere. I didn’t come in last lol. Got mostly 8’s few 9’s few 7’s.

    Ok. I’ve been working on thighs. I’d say it’s my weakest meats. Been doing a couple dry runs and the trim hasn’t been to well. The skin would curl up the meat. I’ve never deboned them before always left the bone in. I definitely need to take my time and give myself extra time for the thighs...

    Yes sir. I’m not doing the dessert or Turkey and also I’m just doing the rib burn Friday and the 4 meat Saturday. I decided to start slow and not overwhelm myself since I was able to pick and choose.

    Awesome! I love the photographed turn in boxes. With the pork rule does that mean I can or can’t turn in pulled pork, “tubes” the middle section of butt and the money muscle medallions? Or do I just need to do one of them? Also with the brisket I’m thinking of doing the whole packer and...

    Appreciate that. I gotta stay true to my way of cooking. I’ve been doing dry runs on all 4 meats and yes I’m in all 4 categories. Been taking notes on cook time, placement(which grates)on the smoker, check times, wrap times/temps at which I wrapped, temps when I put in cooler and the way I...
