Should be getting results pretty soon.........I've got my pen and paper ready to write them down.....cell phone signal is terrible,

frognot · 07-09-2005, 05:29 PM

anxiously awaiting results. . .

i will judge the cheesecake if necessary, use lots of dry ice in shipping; it's a li'l warm in Texas right now . . .

Mmmmmm, cheesecake!

Solidkick · 07-09-2005, 06:46 PM

OK, I appologize if I don't get this correct.....the cell phone reception was terrible.......

63 teams.....big names there.....

4th in sausage
6th in brisket
17th in ribs

I think he said 40th overall.......
He said he wasn't ready to do another one tomorrow, but he had a great time. Anytime you're cooking, it's a great time!

We're proud of you brother!!

PS: I think Greg said Buzz (2Fat) was 11th overall.

chad · 07-09-2005, 07:00 PM

Greg gave me a call just a bit ago and I do believe you are correct. Sounds like they had a great "1st" outing. Walked the stage twice (top 10 in two catagories).

He said their sausage entry was maple fattie!! :D

I'll let Greg tell the whole story, but it was a great time! We were in a Lion's Club baseball field backed up against a soy bean field, so the sun was relentless, and I think I know how a pork butt feels when its in the cooker, but it was a blast. Kick has our results correct.

The dessert received mixed results. We talked with Buzz on Friday and he mentioned that they had tried this same recipe a few times, and they also had mixed results. One judge gave it all 9's, one gave it a 6 for taste, but the rest gave it 7s or 8s. We came in 20th for dessert. The winning dessert was homemade ice ceram (did i mention that is was over 90 degrees) and second place was a pecan pie.

Kick, we meant Randy of Ulcer Acres and he rememered you guys and says hello. I have a picture of him by his rig that I will post later. They received the Land Of Lincoln Trophy for the highest placing Illjinois-based team, so they had a great outing.

parrothead · 07-09-2005, 10:15 PM

We bombed in chicken and pork. Lesson learned. Don't experiment at a competition. THat is why we ended up 40th overall.

Had a blast! met great people! Learned a lot!

Tired, going nighty night now.

Well! That's a big "no ****", isn't it?? :D Congrats on a successful outing - hey, you walked twice!

Now you are mentally prepared for Grillkings!

MrSmoker · 07-10-2005, 07:46 AM

Congrats Brothers,you did good on your first contest. :D

BrooklynQ · 07-10-2005, 10:43 AM

Great job guys. As long as you "Had a blast! met great people! Learned a lot! " it was all worth it.

icemn62 · 07-10-2005, 11:28 AM

I would like to add "another job well done" guys.

Ron_L · 07-10-2005, 11:49 AM

Thanks, guys... I'm a little more rested now... This was my first experience in any BBQ competition, so I was like a kid in the candy store looking at all of the cookers and learning everything I could! What I find ironic is that we were called up for Brisket, which is supposed to be one of the hardest to cook, and for submitting a maple fatty as sausage, one of the easiest... We knew that the chicken wouldn't place. It was a little too dry. We also knew the butt was a stretch. It just didn't have much flavor.

So... Here's just a few highlights and things that I learned...

1. When setting up, it was necessary for Bob to put his tongue on Greg's tongue...

I didn't watch. Then I noticed that they were talking about the trailer tongues... :D

2. If you are going to sleep in your car, don't park near the guys running the dice game.

3. If you are going to sleep in your car, don't park near the porta-johns.

4. If you ignore 2 and 3, plan on very little sleep!

Ron_L · 07-10-2005, 12:11 PM

One thing that I forgot to mention... We had a LOT of complements on our Brethren banner. A lot of people came by and said "I love your logo". Of course, we took that opportunity to suggest that they visit the site! Hopefully we'll have some new Brethren soon!
