Roll Call: Platte City, MO....May 11 & 12 (with results)
 

Plowboys will be there, but I don't recall our spot.

platta mo where is it at in the state

york

Nothwest of KC, York.

Big Creek BBQ will be there... Cabin 50A. We decided to rough it this contest! :wink:

Don't forget your (or your kid's) swimsuits! They have said that the pool now has a dome and is heated.

I know there were a few teams with families that chose not to come to this one since they changed to an earlier weekend and everyone thought that the pool would still be closed. It looks like they will also have a spray park at some point this summer too.

Just saw the forecast (for what it's worth anyway!) and it said sunny and 80 both Friday and Saturday. Looking good! Can't wait to get out there, set up my INDOOR kitchen, pop up the easy up, season meat and go inside in the AC and take a nap on the queen sized bed.

Forecast now calls for 30-40% chance of thunderstorms. I'm sure it will change again before the week is out.

We are spot 121. I plan to set up early Friday morning.

Where is the turn in?

Anyone doing people's choice on Sat? I will only if I have time and space. I have an extra brisket here to cook, so that's not a problem.

Turn in is at the Meeting Hall next to the Bath House. You have such a long haul.:evil: :mrgreen:

Don't know if we will be doing people's choice or not.

I'm so sick of rain I could just chit! Todd, didn't know you guys were cooking this! I had my wife drop a check in the mail to ya today for the Blues Hog I still owed ya for! :oops: We'll be there Friday morning as well. I'm thinking around 9 or 9:30 if everything goes well.

By the way... Bill Bruner (forgot his wood company name) is going to be up there sometime Friday if anyone needs wood. Right now, he has cherry, oak and hickory. Pretty reasonable also. Don't know all his prices on sticks but chunks, he sells a large feed bag full (to the top... not closed) for $10 each. A large grocery brown bag full is $6. If anyone needs an order, his number is (816) 674-4119.

EDIT: Todd, well, I just went up and told my wife you'll be at Platte City... she tells me she didn't get a chance to get to the post office this afternoon. :roll: Soooo.... see ya Friday with your check! :icon_shy

Looks like rain is totally out of the forecast for Friday/Saturday! sunny and upper 70's to low 80's! :-D

Hope I don't trip crossing the street. :biggrin:

SWEET!!! But, it will probably change again. :icon_sleepy

Locked and loaded and pulling out of here around 8am in the morning. There are a few scattered thunderstorms around but nothing organized and isn't supposed to mess with the weekend! See y'all up there!

I'm hoping to get out by 9am. Got my meat trimmed and the camper loaded. Hy-Vee is cutting me fresh thighs in the morning before 8am. Chickens just killed Wednesday.

I have got some KILLER spares from Tom's Meat Market. Never have I had a three pack with three awesome ribs and no shiners.

Briskets look killer. One is about perfect. And I got to pick my butts out of a case from Tom's. Cooking 8# butts that are almost the same size.

I may not cook worth a chit, but I'm going to start out with some killer product. I'll only have the cook to blame come Saturday afternoon.

Andy - I got your parsley. Wash, wrapped, and ready to deliver. There must have been 50 bundles in that case. I only washed half of it and that's enough for about 3 teams.

Parsley?? You got good parsley??? :shock: Where?

Talk to me at Platte City.

Talked to Todd tonite. He had to cook this one without me again. He may not want me anymore! He got 2nd in chicken ( I forgot what rub he used ), 2nd in Pork and 8th overall! Hopefully someone will post complete results. I think Jeff in KC was 9th overall and Smoke on Wheels was 11th. Congrats guys!

Congrats to Todd, Jeff, Andy, and all who walked.

Let's get some results in here! Congrats guys!

WTG guys! What an excellent showing! Congrats to all!!

Congrats to all.

This is a really fun contest for us. Enjoyed it a lot! But I'll tell ya... we could really get used to having and A/C'ed cabin with showers, kitchen and a nice bed at comps!

Congrats to all of you guys. That was awesome.. It was good to see you guys on Friday. I guess we will see you guys at GAB...

Were you at Big Creek's Friday night? Should have stopped by. Sorry I missed you.

Congrats to the Brethren brothers!

And....Kaylin got 1st in the Kids Q!.... Out of 11 kids.

Randy - I don't think we got 11th overall. I say "don't think" because what is left of the scores is in a firepit at Basswood :twisted:

After the rib dabacle, I don't see how we could have done that well overall, since we were middle of the pack in everything else. I would bet we were 21st.

Congrats to all the brothers who did get calls!!! It was a fun weekend!!

Congrats to everyone:-P

Congrats to all.

Nope, Andy, you weren't 11th. Todd, Jeff was over at our site on Friday afternoon. We had a little beer problem: We ran out. Between me, Doorbusters, Jeff and Bubba's brother Jerry, we had a six pack, a 12 pack and a 30 pack in what guys? Four hours? Good afternoon it was!

Come prepared NEVER run out of beer!!!!!!!:-P Extra is good!!!!!:twisted:

My dad always taught me.... Better a case long than a case short!!!

On Sun morning when you go to throw that line in the water and catch breakfast.... do you want to be the guy that has two floating in the cooler, or the guy just breaking into the last full cooler??? :twisted:

Works the same for BBQ contests too.... But I have your back Jeff!!!!

Much appreciated, Andy!

Congrats to everyone.

Way to go guys.

BTW Andy, SIX is all of the digits on one hand and one from your other hand..:twisted: :-P

Nice job on the pork, Todd!

Jeff, I think they are putting cabins with AC and carpet in Laurie!:twisted:

Andy, at least ONE Groneman can cook!!:twisted::twisted:

Congrats to all!

Katelyn is the new sausage cook on for Smoke on Wheels. I don't remember if Andy posted this, but I think she outscored second place by 20 points. :eusa_clap

Hey, I could count to 20 that day. I had sandals on!!!

And after the awards, Kim shared with me that the Rep had said she thought it was funny that the judge in question had six ribs bagged up - I wonder how that is possible if one entrant only turned in 5. Nothing I can do about it now... but you better believe I am taking pics of EVERY entry going forward.:icon_sleepy Just one of the many mistakes.... For example, When Kaylin won the kids que.... they called Kyle Groneman - took some work for them to actually hand her the award... And our team was listed as Smoke of Wheels.... the list goes on.

Other than that, we had a great time and got to see some good friends.:eusa_clap

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I think I just laughed so hard I sharted! Nice one, Wayne!

Congrats to everyone.
Andy you should have come to the Red Fox comp, five teams and four judges. That means you would only need one hand. I have braggn rights till next time.

I have to agree. The setting there is great! Money willing, Doorbusters may have to do this one next year. But only if I can do it "Big Creek Style". And yes Jeff, it was 4 hours, 48 divided by 4??? Andy, take your shoes off and figure that for me!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR G.A.B. Are we starting a side pot ?

Only if there are odds. I would not put my money against many of the teams around here: GreatGrills, Bubba & Jeff, Meatheads, Team Q, and the list goes on. Our best shot at beating anyone would be if Andy wears socks & mittens when putting his ribs in the box.

Keep it up boys... You might just get a bone of your own:twisted:
