First Competition Results

friscoag · September 2012

Our first competition was a complete success in my mind. It was fairly small, 15 teams were in it, but 11 out of the 15 were true travelling teams with VERY large and nice rigs. The categories were Brisket, Ribs, Chicken, Beans, and Cooks Choice.

Results:
Brisket: 1st Overall!
Ribs: 4th
Chicken: 5th
Beans: Not sure
Cooks Choice: Not sure

Overall 3rd place!!!!

It was a blast and considering we were competing against teams that had been doing it for YEARS, I'm proud of our 3rd overall finish. Our 3 large BGE's pulled it off against them!

We will expect First next time. Just kidding, that was outstanding. Bet it was the hat that cost you Second place, get a Q hat or BGE hat

Very nice looking family.

Nice job frisco. Really cool.

Hashmaker · September 2012

That's awesome! Congratulations! I'll be cooking in my first one in a couple of weeks. All competitors will be cooking butts. I only have one LBGE and one charcoal smoker to take but you give me some hope!

Mike8it · September 2012

Congratulations!!!! Third place is awesome and especially for your first time. Really impressive taking 1st in brisket which is considered by many the most challenging cook.

Tjcoley · September 2012

Congrats - that's a fantastic result for a first timer

Thanks everyone. Tom's adjustable rig helped out too! Also DFW peops, Matador Meats in Frisco was a big help! The butcher was nice enough to go through 3 boxes of Prime Briskets until we found the "perfect" one. It was amazing!

After dipping it back in the juices we collected is was amazing, and burnt ends just added to the greatness!

Congrats!! That is a helluva showing.
You hooked now?
Cheers!

Haha I think the answer is yes and no. Am "I" hooked, yes, it was a LOT of work, and I was exhausted Sunday/Monday. I didn't sleep a second friday night taking care of everything which was all well worth it, but it is definitely work. With a baby coming in a few months, all this will probably get put on hold for a little while longer, but it was definitely an absolute blast for sure! There is a ton more I have to learn though.

Can't add anything other than congratulations on such a great showing!! Sets the mark very high for the next go-round. Glad it was such fun along with the exceptional results. And that brisket does look very tasty!

Incredible, and only your first time? Congratulations!

JWBurns · September 2012

Great work Friscoag!

We are neighbors, I live in McKinney!

My first time at Matador was this past weekend.. Picked up a pork butt. It was EXPENSIVE - $4.99 a lb, so the 10 pounder cost me $54 bucks! Must say, it was the best looking and best pork butt I've ever cooked though.

Friscoag - What kind of rig do you use to move the eggs?

Ragtop99 · September 2012

Nothing better than coming home with hardware the first time out! congratulations.

friscoag · September 2012

JW, I had to take 2 of these from Frisco and honestly I just strapped them in the back of our SUV. Made sure they couldn't hardly move and drove carefully. We go to all of the A&M games and for tailgating purposes I take one every game. I've had no issues so far besides them being freakin heavy.

JWBurns · September 2012

A fellow Aggie fan to boot, good man!

misu · September 2012

Awesome I need to do that one day, I already have 3 larges

cazzy · September 2012
