First Timer Turn in PRON

Ok, so Westmont was our first comp. Unfortunately, we were too time crunched on chicken and ribs for pron, but one judge gave us 9's across the board, so I guess we weren't awful, and no DAL's.

I was spending more time trying to keep our EZ-ups from flying away then I was on my boxes I think. We did manage butt and brisket with a little more relaxes mood, as by that time we'd stabilized the tents and had both resting in a cooler since earlier. I'm new to posting pics, so hopefully this works.

We definitely learned some valualble lessons, and think we'll do better in Elk Grove in a few weeks.

Thanks to all of you here for all the great ideas posted on this site. I really think we were pretty well prepared, and much of the credit goes to the Brethren!

no option for next picture?

Sorry, as I said, this is the first time I tried to post a photo here, not sure what I'm doing wrong

This looks ok now I think

No, the 9's across the board was for Appearance, taste, and texture on the ribs, All from the same judge in that category .

I will definitely consider saucing and a light spritz, thanks!

I know I thought they looked better when I sent them (high anxiety) than when I looked at them afterward. But that's ok. Wel got everything in on time, and didn't go DAL. Now it's time to execute better next time and improvve on our failings!

Nope, didn't take offense at any of the comments! I only put them out so people would comment!

Thanks!:-D
