Will be coming from Pasadena to cook this one as Pelletheads.com with a couple of Pelletheads, BMerrill from North Carolina and Over Dunn from South Carolina. 1st time cooking East of the Big River! I am in charge of Chicken and Ribs, wonder how the flavor profiles will be accepted in Apex!

From a CBJ perspective (I applied to judge Apex, but haven't heard if accepted yet), you might want to leave the chili powder at home. I've judged a pile of comps around these here parts, and it is RARE to taste chili powder. I judged in Lake Havasu, AZ back in January and EVERYTHING (chicken and ribs) seemed to have chili powder flavor!

Just my $0.02.

Thanks Tom, it is nice to get some of the local area input. Hub, who is an OK transplant to this area of NC and is a MCBJ, and a Brethren said that the flavors that most use, well not sure exactly how he put it. But he said you are probably not going to find a lot of vinegar base sauces on the pork, like I though you might.

Chili powder on chicken and rib rubs, umh, maybe thats why I dont do well in the west. Only time I would even consider it is on Brisket, and that is not my department for this competition!

Tom, I had applied and was accepted, but I told them I might want to cook it.... which I am now... I have no idea how many applied to judge. Shoot Graham an email.... he is a great guy and I would think he would get back to you.

Bently, boil the ribs, boil the chicken, do not sauce them. The pork, well, be sure and cook to 165 and slice, brisket, do the same.... :loco:

Just kidding... come do what you do best.... hope to get the chance to get around and meet everyone.

I got an email last week, and all 30 spots are filled. So if you waited to sign up.... too late. On the website I see the application has been removed, but said you could email and be put on a standby list in case someone has to drop out.... good luck to everyone cooking there....
