Comp. cooking.

stichrunner

I have been posting my cooks on Facebook and everyone always wants to know when dinner is. So one of my fb friends IM me this morning about getting into  competition bbq. Well with all of about 1 month of low and slow cooking under my belt I said why not. There is a comp. In Wiggins ms. In October. That will be our first win lol. So i have a couple month to hone our skill. So prepare for some questions and some food pics.

Totally diffeent kind of cooking than neighborhood or personal cooking.   One bite bbq takes some adjustment.    I hope you find the transition seamless however, I don't know many people who have that type of luck.

Is it an amateur competition? And are the judges amateur? That can add some more randomness to the results, but above all make sure to have fun.

I don't follow or keep up with the circuits anymore. Haven't in years. But the event in Wiggins was always a BCA sanctioned event. I would look up their rules and regulations and familiarize myself with them. Good luck brother, I hope y'all slam dunk them. I live just down the road from Wiggins. I will try to swing by and sample yalls Q.

True! I was talking to Harry Soo 'Slap Yo Daddy BBQ' a while back and told him I was interested in possibly doing a 'competition' in the somewhat near future.

He offered encouragement and some advice, he said, 'there comes a time when every pitmaster thinks they make the best bbq in the land, friends come over, feast on your bbq and drink your beer and tell you that you serve the best bbq - EVER!

He told me the problem is, that they are eating for FREE, that it's only once you get a paying customer, well that's when you discover how good you are.

In your case, a bbq judge.

I wish you the best, you certainly have my respect. Please report back on your progress ... best and good luck! Tim

It's a BCA COMP which means the judges are idiots. I'll be there most likely though and will tell you anything and everything we do with nothing held back if you come ask.

Thanks for the words of encouragement yall. We know were not that good but kinda looking for the experience. Im hoping it will be a good time. Plus it will give us a reason to bbq a little bit more. In the name of "practice"
