The brisket was extremely dry and over cooked. I soaked it in au ju' and re-seasoned, (maybe what the specs are). Really had to hunt to get enough slices to put in the box! flavor was excellent, rubs and au ju' complimented each other nicly.
Pork was a little over cooked as well. The money muscle would not stay togather in a slice form (had to skip it since it wouldnt hold). There was also a power outage while i was doing the prep and I put a ton of cracked black pepper on so the bark was very "hot" (reason for not putting it in). The pulled was tossed in my sauce, which had such an amazing taste I added a little after boxing it (bad call maybe?).
Ribs had good tenderness and taste but have to agree with what was said about the garnish and sauce.
Chicken had good trimming and were quite uniform. I forgot my scissors so was a little bummed when selecting samples for the judges. the picture does not do any justice to the color.
placement, Chicken 30th, ribs 17th, pork 8th, brisket 6th (worst brisky I ever cooked!) over all finish 14th out of 33.
I think I could be a lot better with my full team (only half atteneded 2 of 4), improve on garnish, imporve saucing methods and less to drink on Saturday night! Thanks for the feed back
