Rock'n Ribfest:Merrimack, NH 6/23-24(w/results) KCBS

[HeSmellsLikeSmoke]

Barry Poppins was last seen at 30,000 feet approaching the Canadian border. NORAD just went to DEFCON 3.

BigBarry got back down to earth in time for the grilling competetion today and got a walk in the fruit category:mrgreen: . Last time I saw him, he and MrsBigBarry were back at the 30,000 foot level and all you could see were their grins. Was worth the whole trip just to see how excited they were.

They wouldn't give me a copy of the results but the Brethren did really well! Lo'-N- Slo' took GC , for example!!! I won't list any of the others since I don't want to trust my memory and leave someone out.

What an awesome event....we took 2nd place in ribs and 4th in pork, 7th overall. Lakeside Smokers took 2nd in pork and 6th overall. Lunchmeat got a couple of calls and finished 8th overall, iQue took 1st in brisket and 3rd overall. Two Fat Polacks got two fat calls. 36 teams...

Willie B finally rolled in late last night, was good to hoist a few with him and all the other Brethren. Met Big Barry for the first time, hung with Clint for a while.

I'll post more later....exhausted. Just got home, the new camper was awesome...

[Lo' -N- Slo' BBQ]

Lo' -N- Slo' BBQ wants to say, "THANK YOU" for the warm welcome we received from everyone in NH. Congrats to everyone on the call ups for both days. We had an excellent time and are still in shock about the GC in Grilling (if you remember we were not going to enter grilling until members of the Brethren incouraged us to do so). We look forward to next year and hope to see everyone again soon. Rock 'N Ribfest was well worth the 12 hour, 600 mile round trip.
THANKS AGAIN.....:biggrin:

That was darn impressive to see Saturday. Seemed like every call was a Brethren member! And it was amazing to see the Polocks win twice on Sunday after another rough ride up to NH. Congrats to everyone again.

 

[Big Dog Barbecue]

Congratulations Q Ball.

Sean is a great guy and he deserves this kind of recognition.

You Rock!

Man, we are snake bitten with with respect to trailers! It seems like everytime we hook our truck up to a trailer something hapens. It was scary having a blowout on the trailer while doing 60 miles and hour. Honestly, it was one of the best venues we have ever cooked at. It was well run, the venue was nice (it was killing us smelling the fresh wort), the comradrie was even better and having a couple calls wasn't bad either. We really enjoyed meeting alot of the brethren we don't normally see. It's all about the great people in BBQ. The best folks in the world. Congrats to all on a super brethren showing.

Holy crap who gave Sully a microphone and what did he say. Was he wearing one of his not so politically correct T-shirts at the time ?

Too Funny. We were yelling the same thing in Hartford this weekend and I swear I heard Sully answer back. He doesn't need no stinkin PA system.

So any other rituals that us Midwesterners need to know about before cooking in NEBS? Besides that I am required to carry 2 bottles of Patron with me? ;-)

Do you guys get tornados? Cause after the weather we had at Marshalltown, I want to be getting out of the Midwest...

No Tornadoes but Harpoon has had a couple of real bad Lightning storms.
