Pictures of your competition ribs??

Do you guys pre-trim your ribs before you get to the comp?

I'm probably the odd duck here but I trim all my stuff at the comp on Friday, keeps me out of the bottle and gets me focused on the comp.

here's mine. 7's across the board for appearance. it was a sloppy box because we ran into knife trouble so time was running out...have a back-up knife sharpened AND handy!
good luck!

Do you guys pre-trim your ribs before you get to the comp?

I trim chicken and ribs at home a day or two before the comp, and then vacuum pack them with the FoodSaver.

Chicken, because it takes so long and I like to work in the comfort and controlled climate of my kitchen.
Ribs, because if I get broken, crooked or otherwise ugly bones, that you can only really see after the cryovac packs are open, I have time to get some new racks.
Butts and briskets I leave in the cryovacs and trim on Friday at the comp.

these were 2nd place in Hammond, La last year missed first by .0004 points:mad2: A sharper knife would have probably pulled it in:doh:

I took third in the backyard category. Ken V. took first place plus G.C.

I'll post pictures when my wife gets around to downloading them - they are on her camera with a bunch of other pictures of the kids, etc.

Thanks for all the help everyone!

Ya know Dan, I just realized I didnt take any pics of my ribs or box!!! I have to get ahold of ICC, there were some students there from the college newspaper that camped out a while and took quite a few pics.

Ken,
Those weren't students from ICC - they were my spies. wwwhaaahhhhaaaaa.
Hey, you going to Arthur this weekend?

 

[Ken V]

Dan, I might, what do you think about doing the backyard comp? I cant make it for the pro comp on Friday but could do ribs and chicken. Turn-ins are at 2 and 2:30.

Congrats guys! Looks like you represented the Brethren well!

THanks Jeff - and honestly, I wouldn't have done as well without some of the tips I learned from you. Are you going to Arthur this weekend?

Hey I just want to let you all know you are very good. This stuff has gotta take other worldly effort.
