So our nephews who always liked that we did bbq are progressing into their own. From helping me season stuff and chuck meat on the smokers to having gotten them their own WSM last year for their bday........I'm slowly taking myself out of the picture so I can focus on drinking and being lazy while they do everything :clap2:.
Now the next logical step this early into their lives is to enter them into their 1st backyard competition. Found an FBA event near them in FL next month and this figured like a great way to keep them at it.
I've never done an FBA and backyard rolls the full 4 meats. They've cooked them all before themselves but never all at once in a timed manner. The 1hr turn in windows vs the normal 30 for kcbs should make the scramble at the end easier. I can't even image having an hr between meats :crazy:
We'll cook on their WSM and I'll bring one drum since 4 meats on one smoker can be cumbersome. They will trim and cook everything. I will just drink and tell them what to do.
Today I'm making them videos for chicken and ribs to show them how to do it so they can practice as needed. There are a few good videos on pork and brisket online that mirror what we do and I just send them those links.
Today I'm simply seeing how ribs and chicken will cook on one smoker together as I run 3 drums and ribs/chicken are not on the same one. But multiple racks is an easy option.
Just doing one rack of ribs. Lowered the smoker rack they are on so the parallel hanging bars can go on top for the chicken which still gives me easy "tweaking" access to the ribs as needed.
Chicken about to go on and have started practicing the beer consumption :becky:. More to come
