Getting Ready-Smoking on the RIO

jgh1204 · 02-23-2006, 09:40 PM

First Comp is Saturday, brisket turn in is 4:30PM so I want have to start cooking until about 2AM. The 3 briskets I got today are small, about 10lbs each. But they looked good and they are CAB.

Got the bandera and the brinkman loaded in the truck and now I am getting my box of rubs, sauces, spices, tools, etc ready. I set the over/under for trips to HEB for stuff I forgot at 3.

I am going to be cooking brisket, ribs(st louis spares) and chicken. A buddy of mine is going to do the beans and fajitas.

Best of luck to ya, jgh! Anxious to hear about Walter's BBQ success!

Wow! Just looked over their site... they add $100 to the entry fee (almost doubled!) if you register after February 1!!! That's wild! Never have seen that up this-a-way! maybe $25-$50 but never $100! hope you registered early!

It is exciting--for sure.
Just relax, cook, and enjoy.
Have a great time

Let us know how it turns out.

Good Luck !!

hopefully you'll be able share some winning results....

or at the very least tell us you had a blast even if things didn't exactly go according to plan...

They actually were letting people in at $150 up until last Friday. I registered in early January. This is a new cookoff, just 3 years old. They have doubled in size each year. 17, 33, 75.

The City of Edinburg just announced a July 4th cookoff with 15K in prize money. If I do ok here, I may try that one.

I am just hoping for a top 10 finish in one category and to have fun!

GitRDone!

Good Luck! Bet it is going to feel good to scratch that itch. Post your results!

IF you want a good list of stuff to remember to keep your "forgot it" trips down, I've got a spreadsheet I use when loading. Also - out on the KCBS site, they have an article for " First Contest" - that is pretty good, and also has a checklist. http://www.kcbs.us/features/bullshee...ompetition.jsp

jgh1204 · 02-24-2006, 08:12 AM

Thanks for all the support. Wish I had some brethren stuff, but I have not ordered any yet.

I had found a checklist that looks similar. I will probably forget the checklist!

Good Luck! Let us know the results.
