I'll Be MIA for a few days.....

Good luck to you and KC.

Best of luck to you guys.

Don't forget to have fun.

Good luck and PLEASE take pictures. We love pictures.

Bro Kick, Thanks for the invite. Great way to get our feet wet. Thanks to everybody who's written posts I've learned from, answered questions and provided advice. Without the wisdom freely passed around this site the thought of competing would just be a joke.
First place, last place or whatever inbetween doesn't matter as much to me as being a good ambassador for the Brethren and making everybody here proud we were there to represent.
Thanks for the xtra luck, we'll need a good dose of that too!!

Good Luck
You two are winners no matter what
a judge may think!!

Good Luck and have fun.Kick some _ss

Good Luck Brothers

Your motto: Veni, Vedi, Beer-ci (we came, we saw, we drank some beer). Best of luck to you guys.

Hey Mr. Kick,

Where is this competition at (directions)? Is there a web site with the details?

Best of luck guys. Have a blast with it.

Relax! Don't let anyone psych you!! Yeah, they'll try.

Stick to what you know works and see how is pans out. Keep the eyes open and listen to what the other competitors AREN'T telling you, too!

Good luck! Have fun! Take pictures! :mrgreen:

Bro Kick and Scott-
I am glad it is you two and not me following the "Greg and Phil show" :lol:
Tough act to follow.
But, you will do great
As I have been told: "Just breathe Brother, breathe"
Have fun and keep us posted.
TIM

Here my .02 cents while still in my head.

BRINE EVERYTHING BEFORE
GLAZE EVERYTHING AFTER. sEE PICTURES ATTACHED.

Night before write down.
what your cookin
the rub your using on it
the sauce your using on it
the time youneed to start prepping it
and the time you need to put it in the pit
and finally how long before turn in you need to start assembly.
I glazed everything i submitted.. sliced it, glazed it, returned it to the pit inot the hot spot to carmelize the glaze. So i had to start preppin half our before turnin.



What happened to us was we got sidetracked doing stuff. We wanted to time the food to come out as close to turnin as possible, but the line "Oh POOPIE, we shoulve had the ribs in by now.. or Uh oh, I gotta get the chivcen marinading"..... was there each time. Just give yourself a time line so you can refer to it and know what you should be doing. It sounds lame, but believe me, so much will be going on that you can get distracted.

Also, i dont make my rub in batchs. i make it on the food, right out of the containers. This gives me a tendancy to experiment, and i almost did that on the ribs.... . Dont!!! Know EXACTLY what your going to use. I Had to put a few things down. Dont experiment... use only what you know.... when your in yard, Maybe I'll try this" works great, but you odnt want to find out it dont work just before you give it to a judge.



Good luck Ladies.. we be pullin for ya!!!
