Take a breath!
Well, my 2nd competition went pretty well. I scored better on 3 out of 4 meats and I feel like I'm still dialing it in. I'm sure that will continue for quite a while. I also received one score that shocked me. 6-3-4 on chicken for a total of 16! Ah well, I won the lowest score from any judge.
Let me know your thoughts if you would please. I'll post up scores shortly.
Chicken - I tried something new and lost my skin in the process. I'm thinking I need more sauce on here though. I also had one thigh that wasn't oriented like the others.
Ribs - My ribs were the best ones I think I've cooked. I think I overthought them though and introduced a couple of overpowering flavors. I'm also thinking I may need a little more sauce.
Pork - I turned in sliced, cubed mm, and pulled. I think my sauce was plenty. If anything I think I could have filled the box more. I think the chunk at the bottom should have been moved.
Brisket - Brisket was good I thought but I only dipped them in a jus without bbq sauce. I like it that way but I'm thinking I needed some bbq sauce on my slices. I also think my points were on the smoker a tad too long after I sauced them. That sauce smudge behind the points was removed before the box was closed. Q-tips are awesome.
