Any husband/wife or family teams?

Something's stronger, that's for sure !




QUOTE=HarleyGirl14226;2479629]Our team is currently my husband and I.

We've been involved in competition BBQ in one way or another since 2009 but went out on our own in 2011. We love that we have this opportunity to spend time together and with our friends, and we've found that this experience has made our relationship stronger.[/QUOTE]

This is our team, we cant cook but we have fun trying!! Do not let the hair fool ya, wife and daughter are both part of the team..

 

[nucornhusker]

Just my wife and I. I do all of the food and cooker stuff, she makes boxes, cleans and is the runner for all but brisket.

This kids will join in as they get older.

 

[Chipper]

Usually, it's just my soon-to-be-wife and me. Sometimes her daughter and our future son-in-law join us.

Thanks for all of your replies brethren. Other replies are still welcome. Also a nice addition to this thread, would be: what pits you cook what meat On at comps. And if you have any pics handy of your baby(s), that would be even mo betta.
Our comp pits are:
Bright red Pitmaker BBQ vault-cyberQ wifi controlled: brisket and ribs @300
UDS with weber lid, 2 cook levels-digiQ dx2 controlled: chicken @350
Old rusty brinkman Professional charcoal grill from a garage sale that i added Grill Grates. cooks a mean steak and sausage etc to feed us Friday nights

that's the organizer, not my wife, to the left.

always remember who helped you get where you are.

i cooked three events after that one and have not had as good results without her.

I will let you explain what happened. Easy to speculate. A few circumstances come to mind.

Was she there? Lol my wife lets me get all the bullchit ribbons but always comes up in a top 3 call and especially for a overall GC.

 

[boogiesnap]

yeah, she was there....in the crowd.

 

[jmoney7269]

Lol, I woulda been Cookin by myself from then on out also! Lol you screw up I. That one. On the flip side, she as your team mate shoulda come up with you and failed to do so.

Ha! Thanks. I basically turned in sauced pot roast. I was so frustrated and we end up getting a call with it. Unreal.

 

[JD McGee]

Yep...just me and my better half! :razz:

 

[mr_farmboy]

Just me and my girlfriend as of right now. We work well together. Here's the only pic I have of us at a comp. It was right after the filming of an episode of BBQ Pitmasters.

My team 2 Live Q is mostly me and my buddy down the street. I'm the head cook as I have all the equipment and recipes etc. My buddy is good at making our schedule and keeping us on track. He's also very helpful at turn in times. I would love to have the wife part of the team, but with 3 young kids, that's kinda difficult. She's also not one for roughing it out either lol. If I'm still competing a few years down the road I can see my 6yr old son doing this with me. He's competitive and likes BBQ. :wink:Our families will usually make it out Sat. afternoon and hang out. We have a few friends and family that stop by too. Like many others I got the bug when I started watching pitmasters. About that same time I got serious about backyard BBQ when I got my bubba kegs. Went to help judge at a comp and I left feeling confident ,feeling that I could do too, lol. I've only done 7 comps but my last few I've turned the corner is all my turn-ins, especially ribs, which used to be my worst category. A couple weeks ago I managed a 1st in ribs among 34 teams, 7th in chicken and a 11 or 12th in brisket. 4th overall.

chicken - kettle/old smokey 300-325* (just started using this)
ribs - bubba keg 275*
brisket - 22 WSM with pitmasterIQ 250-275* I used to use my 2nd bubba keg, but decided I needed to lighten my load.. that and it has a tendency to run hot on me.:mmph:
