2nd Competition, 1st Place

Friday I competed in my second competition and ended up winning first place. This was strictly a rib competition. I took a half day Thursday and headed up to our cottage with my cousin and one of my good friends. Although they do not know a whole lot about bbq they are good company and supporters. The competition is put on by the town where my cottage is so it was a perfect setup. I met some really good people and had a very good time. Most of the guts in the competition have been doing it for several years and I learned a lot from them. I am already looking forward to next year's Ribstock!

Well I started off Friday morning by boiling them for 30 minutes............wait did I just give away my secret? Haha. They supplied the ribs for us at this competition, we got a half slab of st.louis and a full slab of baby backs. After we got everything all set up I rubbed the ribs down. We got the ribs at 9 and turn in wasn't until 5 so I had some time extra time. I used Eat BBQ
rub and sauce. I put a couple other ingredients on them as well but not much more than S&P. I used a mix of apple wood and hickory with the lump. I smoked for just over 3 hours and then foiled with honey and brown sugar for about 1:15. I pulled them out and opened up the foil and let them set for about 20 minutes. I put them back on the smoke for the last hour and sauced them with about 30 minutes left. I wish I would have taken pics of my turn in box but when all you are thinking about are the ribs You forget to do simple things.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

Applause! Turn in boxes are an art all in themselves, over and above the quality of the meat. You had a double plus to win.

I used the Egg for the ribs. The WSM was used for the sausage and the wings I did for lunch and pass around snacks.SGH said:@shadowcaster

Thanks, this one meant a lot to me. I did one back in March with one of my very good friends. He passed away suddenly in the beginning of April. We were planning on doing this one together so I went ther to win it for him.
