Knows what a fatty is.
Now that I have done a comp I can post in the Competition section!!:clap:
The company I work for entered a team into the 3rd Annual Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Pee Dee BBQ cook-off. My only experience so far as been cooking for family. I have a good friend Philip Miles who competes as the Hotlanta team in SCBA whos brain I picked relentlessly to get some pointers since it was a SCBA event. Friday night went ok with us having a good time at the anything butt category. The real fun started at around 9 when the first of 16 butts and shoulders went on. we were only supposed to have one box, but another team backed out and the sponsors asked if we wanted to get another box. Sounded good at the time because it made our chances of finding a good piece of meat better, later on after trimming and injecting 16 butts and shoulders I was doubting our decision! Did I mention the large cooker we were using has NEVER been used before?!?!?! It was an old gasser that the company had that we got a guy at work to add a firebox on so we could burn wood....cause wood iz good..:biggrin1: Anyways, it had huge gaps and leaks in it that we stuffed full with about a roll of tin foil. All night we tried to get the temps to hold steady. After 80 pounds of charcoal and what felt like half a chord of white oak we got 12 of the butts done. Luckily, I brought my UDS to put some meat on because the 4 butts we used for turn in came off of it! We ended up coming in 9th out of 19 teams which was above and beyond what I was expecting!:clap::biggrin1: Here is some pics I managed to take while I could remember to.
