Congratulations Billm with Chi-town smokers! Grand Champion!!!!!!!!!!!
We had a great time at this venue. It was very well run for a first crack at a competition. We got our first iron as well. 5th in ribs was decent as we haven't been able to place well in ribs before. Once again we just need to put them all together at the same comp.
We got called three times. 5th in ribs, 10th in chicken and 2nd place for Ron L's shish-ka-brats.
This has been my best contest for getting to know our local competitiors as of yet, and got to spend some quality time with buzz (2fat) as he was not competing ot judging, but just came down to hang with all of his cooking buddies.
Was also great to meet Ciret and pimpsmoke and spend some time with them. Thanks for pitching in and helping out guys! It's always appreciated. Now you have to talk the ladies into letting you make it down here for the bash. After all we came up to visit in your state. Tell them that it is only right that you guys come down and visit us in ours.
As usual, we learned some valuable stuff and met some great people.
Ciret, post some more of those pictures when you get a chance. Especially the brethren flag with the jack daniel's girls.
