yay us! We made it thru the event..
first, thanks to EGGzlot and smokin pete for comin to my rescue.. and adding to a great weekend and lots of laughs in spite of all my screwups, which of course was ALL their fault!.
Fast eddy breaks down a few times.. fan stops, no one notices until the food freezes..
I forgot the lid to the WSM which makes for very challenging temperature control. Then, trying to squlch the runaway 325 degree smokey mountain, i dump boiling water down my sneakers(yes with foot in it). :redface:
In spite of a bunch of minor setbacks, we never lost our sense of humor and laughed thru most of it.. for first time team mates, turnins were surprisingly calm and coordinated and except for a dry 215 degree brisket, I was pretty happy with the results in each category.. too bad judges disagreed, handing me my worse finish in 10 years of competing.. Wouldnt sting so much if I expected it, but the food was pretty good.... oh well.. its all where your cards fall. :shrug:
thanks again to smoking pete and eggzlot for a great weekend and great help..... you guys are welcome any time....
and its ALL your fault!!
