Desert Dweller's first Competition
I was invited to join AZBarbeque as a team member (pb) for the Williams, AZ Comp. I never knew. I never knew there was soooo much work involved, so much money invested, etc., etc.. I think, if memory serves me, we placed 19th from a field of 28, and I guess that ain't too bad for a team who had never cooked together with a pitmaster who was mastering his first competition pit. I had fun, in an exhausted & physically
 debilitated way...The pictures are of the Team; Don, Phil (PM), me and Jerry. Then Phil and Don in conference discussing the secrets of our success. Then a couple of rare shots of me working. A couple shots of the cooker, it's a very nice DiamondPlate Brand. Also included is a picture of the JA BBQ Team's Mascot. Many pictures were taken of this Mascot, caught in staged compromising positions with several of the contestants sometime after the Midnight Appetizer (and booze) Party... No, I did not get caught in such a pose, I was just waking up at the motel to return to the comp for night shift duty...

Draining; absolutely! Welcome to the group of nuts! Did 'ya have fun?
We usually do. Honestly, the little down time after final turn-in to awards I use it to clean up (obviously) then run around the event and see stuff, otherwise I'd fall asleep (being completely exhausted).

Nice pics! Is that a little portable water heater I see using the small propane tanks? Who makes that? Coleman? I'll google as well.
