Our first BBQ contest is over and thanks to the advice and suggestions of many of you, we did not embarass ourselves. Your help (especially Phil's) with speedy butts and crispy chicken skin was what made the difference. In fact, we walked in all the categories, got our pictures in the paper and were published in a cookbook that the sponsor put together for the event! There were only 3 categories (ribs, chicken and pork) and their weren't really that many teams competing (18 entered and a couple didn't make it), but we managed to take 3rd in chicken and pork and 2nd in ribs! I didn't think we had a shot at winning anything, this being our first time out, but we had some darned good ribs to turn in IMHO, so that made me feel pretty good. Our chicken and pork weren't as good as what I've been doing at home but I guess they weren't too bad, huh? It was a great afternoon. Got to meet some nice folks and answer a lot of questions from passers by.
So anyway, thanks again to all those who contributed. Y'all helped make a good afternoon a great one for me and my cooking buddy Jim!
