We did our first KCBS competition this weekend in Kennesaw, GA at Pigs & Peaches. We tried to enter the backyard division, but it was full so we went ahead and cooked pro. There were 54 teams. We placed as follows:
Overall 33 of 54
Chicken 29 of 54
Ribs 25 of 54
Pork 34 of 54
Brisket 33 of 54
Below are some pics of our boxes. Would love to hear thoughts from some of the veterans here...I feel pretty proud and it seems like we did well given the fact that it was our first cook and there were some heavy hitting teams out there.
Seems like one judge was the difference between us being in the middle of the pack and maybe top 10-15. For example, in pork and brisket we had one judge each time who scored us significantly lower than the other 5, i.e. we had one 7 in brisket...otherwise all 8's and 9's except for one judge who gave us 866. Is this common, or is it a sign that we just need to work on our product?
Thanks to all for input and advice. I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm so I don't get addicted to this sport! We had a blast, and it was super intense and competitive :thumb:
