Taylorville is history! It was a very vice competition! The facilities were clean and water and electric was very convenient. The staff were very attentive. It seemed to me that every time that i went to throw something in the trash that the cans were empty.

For our dinner on Friday night we made Moink Loaf (one pound of ground beef and one pound of ground pork and a packet of onion soup mix) :-D

The weather was pretty good. We had some storms roll by on Friday night but we stayed dry.

We weren't as lucky on Saturday, however. It rained for about 90 minutes but stopped before turn ins. Then the sun came out and the afternoon was beautiful.

The field for this competition was actually pretty strong. 6 of the 30 teams were in the top 40 in the KCBS TOY last year. Besides the local heavy hitters (Yeah, that's you, Scottie :-D) like Cancer Sucks Chicago, Dr. Porkenstein, Tyford BBQ (formerly Ulcer Acres) and Quau, we had some very good teams from all around the country. The "celebrity" team was Mike Davis and Lotta Bull BBQ and he was joined by Let's Kick Some Ash and Florida Skin and Bones. Rolling Smoke BBQ came over from Ohio and did very well!

We ended up with 3rd place brisket and 7th overall. I thought that our chicken and ribs were some of the best that we had cooked but the judges didn't agree .

Here are the top 10's. (Brethren teams in bold. If I missed someone please let me know! I know I met a few others who are on the site but my mind if slipping ) Complete results are at the KCBS site.

No Brethren on Brisket! Actally, Ronnelle I think Lion Bout the Q is here. Oh and don't forget about yourself.

You forget how to bold things in your old age?

one2bbq was there too, you wouldn't have known it because they stuck us back behind the barns but it was a good time and we took 4th in chicken.

 

[andy_christy]

I was there as a spectator & can say all the Q cookin' smelled great. We were following the signs through town on the motorcycle & I told the wife I wasn't sure where we were going but we could sure smell what we were looking for.

More Highlights Needed for results

Ron,

Great cooking with you this weekend and nice to meet you both. And thanks for the coffee for Tonys late rising wife. Our pot had already burned through two or three pots and Tony and I were done and put away. We appreciate that you still had some for her.

Smokin' T's
9th overall
10th ribs
6th pork
8th brisket (and that truly WAS a gift from the judges)

Hope to see you on the cooking trail later in the year.

[Smoky River BBQ]

Wish I could have been there, but family matters had to take priority. Congrats to everyone who got a call. Jim, I'll have to look at those grandbaby pics at Madison in August! Glad the weather held out for everyone.

 

[Rolling Smoke]

No grandbaby until October Roger so if I show you any pics in Madison, it will not be ones that Dawn or Tina can see. :lol:

 

[CaptTable]

Just want ALL you guys to know that Kathy and I really enjoyed our adventure through Yankee country. It was great seeing some of our friends that we hadn't seen in a year and meeting new ones.

It is always a pleasure to work contests in these areas (Westmont & Taylorville) and we look forward to heading back up that way for a few more later on this year.

Hope you guys will check out the schedule on the KCBS website and see the ones Kathy & I will be doing and join in with us!

I updated the results list, Troy. It was great to meet all of you as well. The coffee pots is on at every competition so if you see us just come on by!

It's funny that you posted when you did. Amy and I were talking about your toy hauler last night. Do you have the manufacturer and model? I'm compiling a list of toy haulers that would work for us so i can keep my eye out. We probably won't buy for another year but it never hurts to look
