My KCBS pulled pork! Que at the View

I recently went to my first BBQ competition. I say first because I'm going to do more, many many more. I'm HOOKED! For my first I only did one category so I had no shot at Grand Champion. I wanted to see what the atmosphere was like and wanted to still have fun.
I had hoped SGH would be able to make it with one of his larger smokers and then we would have done the full comp. But work called and SGH had to go. So I drug my eggs out of my outdoor kitchen, loaded it into my old table and headed down to the comp!
I decided to bake some bread and compete in the Pulled pork and the peoples choice (also pulled pork)
There were 43 teams and I came in 9th in pork and took home some money! (well, no I didn't. I won $100 went into the casino where the comp was held, got my money put it on black on Roulette and lost it immediately.)

That is awesome. Coming in 9th on your first try is great! I am sure it was exhausting, but I bet it was fun.

Congrats @Thatgrimguy, sounds like it was a good time. I've helped cook once for a KCBS comp and it was both awesome and very challenging.
One note, the KCBS folks might frown on posting pictures of the competition box. I haven't read over all of the rules lately, but it might be worth checking up on. I know they really drive home to the judges that we can not take or post pictures of anything; not sure how much that extends to the cooks.

Judges can't share. I can share my pics all I want. I took a rules class to make sure I didn't get me in trouble.Black_Badger said:Congrats @Thatgrimguy, sounds like it was a good time. I've helped cook once for a KCBS comp and it was both awesome and very challenging.

Looks like a awesome time and some great grub for sure. Congratulations on a job well done brother.

Great job! I wish you continued success in your future competitions.

Good job. I see a unit 1 in your future.

...one more thought, when I first started scrolling down I saw the bread photo and thought, 'Now there's some interesting pork rub'. Then I read the caption -- LOL

Thanks everyone. It was a lot of fun. Don't listen when people make it out like it's some crazy difficult thing. Just enter the contest and focus on getting all 4 meats submitted on time. Past that have fun! I can't wait to do a full comp now that I get the flow.
I should probably take a judge's class too. I've been youtubing like crazy.XL, Small, Mini & Mini Max Green Egg, Shirley Fab Trailer, 6 gal and 2.5 gal Cajun Fryers, BlueStar 60" Range, 48" Lonestar Grillz Santa Maria, Alto Shaam 1200s, Gozney Dome, Gateway 55g Drum -
