Results Of My 1st BBQ Competion in Mariposa, CA (Heavy Pr0n)
So after starting to get into BBQing over the summer (wife got me a smoker for fathers day/bday) I decided to enter my 1st competition on 9-22-12 this past saturday in Mariposa CA called the Blazin Hog BBQ Competition. There were 25 spots available and only 14 teams competed. In ribs we took 7th and in tri-tip we took 6th. I recognized Barts Blazin Q from Livermore and Bad S BBQ out of Sunnyvale. I met Dave from Barts and Ryan Pang from Bad S BBQ and I have to say those 2 guys are some of the friendlest, nicest guys I've met. Dave actually came over and introduce himself him to me toward the end of competition and I was in the spot next to Ryan & Bad S BBQ. It was one of the best times I had with my dad working as a team and just the overall experience of a BBQ competition was awesome. We definately have been bitten by the BBQ bug and will be back next year. Now on to the pr0n!
Here is my dad and myself right after setting up in the am Our team name tag Festival Program T-Shirt This was in our goodie bag Ryan kept telling everyone that I was Chaka from the BBQ Sauce...LOL Mustard on the ribs Injecting the ribs with a mixture of apple/pineapple juice & brown sugar Trimming the spares (thank god for electric knives!) Ribs racked and ready to go into the smoker Prepping the ribs Adding the dry rub Adding apple slices to the drip pan Adding pineapple slices/juice to the drip pan Adding grape juice to the drip pan Ribs racked & ready to go into the smoker Dad injecting the tri-tip with apple juice and butter marinade Seasoning the tri-tip with santa maria rub Pops about to light the smokers The wife helping to build my box while the meat smokes Adding honey, agave & maple syrup before foiling Cant forget the brown sugar Adding pineapple juice to the foil Spritzing the ribs with apple juice after removing from foil and placing back on grill Ribs sauced and glazing up Cutting the ribs trying to find the best ones Here they are in the box Right before turn in Dad searing the tri-tip Slicing the tri-tip Dad & Mom before turn in Now we drink a cold one and wait Thank you all for looking and like I said it was a blast!

Excellent, especially for a first time competitor. Congrats. Oh, by the way, I think I have the same pitiful excuse for a hat, too... :-)
So, were YOU happy with the results?

Very cool. What's up with that hanging smoker? A rookie team at a comp in Montana was using one and I thought it was something they found or made, but now I see it's a real deal, got any info on it?
