just joking michelle, its refreshing to hear things like that from someone that takes home as much hardware as you guys regularly do
When you gonna post pics from that fancy camera of yours?
Great now we are NEVER going to see them. You should know better than that!:twisted:I have forwarded my report up the chain......... all requests have to go through higher headquarters
HoneyWhat do you all use for a glaze, generally?
Those boxes are works of art.:-D
Beautiful. The MM looks huge and delicous. But what did the judges see Todd?
Hmmm, honey it is.
One more question, do you guys find that glazed or unglazed seem to score higher as a whole category? In other words, might a judge score unglazed higher since the honey isn't at the party and they can better gauge the taste of the meat, smoke and rub without having to get passed the flavor of the glaze? I'm assuming glaze is also there for points in appearance too? Interesting.
Thanks
Sory that is what i meant i just did not expand on it. I did not mean straight up honeyWe have never used straight honey for a glaze. Not sure how that would turn out.
However we do use honey as an ingredient (among other things) to add to the sauce used to make a glaze. A glaze should add color and taste to the final product. We have always scored better when glazing ribs, for example.
So to answer you question - in my opinion, no a judge would not score higher for an entry sans glaze, as it is there to improve the final product in both taste and appearence.
The word on the bottle says it all AWESOME.
I noticed that. Is that what you were telling me to spritz my pork with in Blue Springs?
BTW Paul, Todd let me peak inside his box that day - of course, I had to show him mine.
Never heard of that, what is it?The word on the bottle says it all AWESOME.
That is some damn fine 13th place chicken there. Brings a tear to my eyeheres a few of ours.. others are still in the camera. Not sure of the specific appearance scores, but none got trashed.
invitational chicken
We took 5th overall in the sides... here are the taters:
Never heard of that, what is it?
Chris, my table judged those taters. I was table captain and got to have two of them. They were outstanding. Do you mind teeling how you did those or is it a secret? You can PM if you want, would really like to know.
I also got to meet you Saturday. I have the BW competitor I was going to lend your team.
Thanks
