National BBQ Festival, Douglas, GA Nov. 3/4

Here's the link to info about this "best of the best" cookoff in Douglas, GA.

The teams list is interesting...lots of heavy hitters. I think I highlighted the "Brethren" teams...apologies to any that I missed.

The contest has both Invitational and Open competition.

Tim and I will be helping out Purple Turtle.

I just found out I'm in deep doo-doo...I'll be in Douglas and it's the same weekend as the wife's company holiday party...hmmm. It's a great party but I'm already committed to the competition -- she understands, but somehow it'll probably still come out as being "my fault".

Anne will forgive ya, she always does :lol:
If not, blame it on me.

Small edit, not that it matters.
Dave is cooking with Nancee and the Purple Turtle crew. I have been drafted by Kevin (HomeBBQ).
Maybe a little side bet action...??

This is gonna be a fun event--for sure!

Highlight Me
I slipped in the back door by coming in 6th overall in the open in Douglas last year. I don't know how, it was only my 4th contest.
Maybe I can hold my own with the big boys this year. I cook by myself but have enlisted someone to help me at Douglas with the back to back Friday and Saturday Contests.

like gold. We are cooking both days this year a first for lunchmeat

They have local people assigned to each team to help with whatever you need and make you feel at home.
I asked for the same two Ladies that I had last year :wink:

Michelle,
Dave is pit bitchin' for Purple Turtle.
I am pit bitchin' for Kevin.
Everyone knows the pit bitch is the key to a winning performance by a team.
So, I was thinking just Dave and I square off for "Ultimate Pit Bitch" ranking with a little side action :lol:

If you believe any of that--I got some primo land I wanna sell ya :lol:

I have a limited budget--ROF (retired old fart) on a fixed income. :redface:
I can let my mouth overload my wallet in a heartbeat :redface:

We can surely discuss it at Douglas though.

Looking forward to it!

TIM
 
I'm teaming up with TDB for the Invitational, and Big Pig Inc for the Open.
Really looking forward to it!
 
Hi Rub, glad to see you here! Head over to Cattle Call and introduce yourself if you haven't already....

Matt in NYC
 
was it something I said??

well, good thing I decided to goof off at work!!! Guess Kevin gave ya a better deal eh?! Or at least a better shot of glory...like he needs any help!

There were 87 teams in last years open . They told me they would have a list after the fiftenth of the month, Thats when they have their cut-off on registration.
$30,000 for invitational and $20,000 for Open

Also, nearly all the teams that do the Invitational do the Open...that gives you a start on the list.
 
Turtles

These northern brethren are looking forward to cooking with the Southern Brethren next weekend!!! Anyone in the vicinity please stop by and visit. We will have the Purple Turtle banner and probably a bunch of Gator paraphernalia, presuming they don't lose too bad tomorrow.
We're outa here...catch y'all later...
nancee
 
This is my third attempt to post some interim results--farkin' motel connection!

Via cell from Chad!--Purple Turtle #2 in Whole Hog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is totally amazing since neither they nor Dave and I have ever cooked a whole hog :lol:
There is a huge and funny story there, complete with pics ---for later.

Purple Turtle--#6 in brisket--Kewl!

Overall and chicken, unknown right now--later.

There were many Brethren walks--details later.

This is a great event, super well organized. Very "cooker friendly".

Forgive me for not having morel, but we have the Open tomorrow. I gotta get some sleep and go back at midnight for the graveyard shift :redface:
I (and all of us) are exhausted and still have to do it again tommorow for the open.

We are having a "large" and great time--too much fun :lol:

Later,

TIM
 
HOLY FARKAMOULE! 2nd in whole hog?!!! That's amazing considering what (no) experience you had! Good luck with the rest!
