What an interesting weekend!
It was great to meet Steve/Sledneck and see John/JohnMcD348 at Plant City. John assisted us by running the boxes and Steve was an illustrious CBJ for the contest.
We were very pleased with our product though a bit disappointed with the outcome...and 8th in Pork was a welcome surprse, but we thought the Chicken would walk...it didnt'!!
Lot's of Brethren walking...us, Kevin, Ray, Rub, Jimmy, and Mike...just to walk was good...let's just say that 5 of the BBQ Challenge competitors were there...Ray, Trigg, Fast Eddie, Myron Mixon, and Byron Chisolm...along with Memphis Pig Pals, and the usual assortment of very capable FL teams... Muchees, Firehouse, Smoke & Spice, Skin & Bones, etc. etc.
I think it was 52 pro teams and 25 backyard.
Very well run event.
