edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
The Big Green EGGomaniacs competed in the 20th Annual Prestigious Palmetto Pig Pickin' here in Charleston on March 12-13. It was a great event with 69 teams from all over the place. We just got the final score sheets in the mail. We finished as follows:[p]Whole Hog- 21st
Shoulders- 7th
Ribs- 31st[p]Overall- 14th[p]I knew the ribs were terribly mis-timed. Oh well, live and learn! I'd like to congratulate Charles (BS Pitmeister) on winning the shoulder category and Scott & Cindy McDaniel (Smoke Shack) for their 3rd place in shoulder. They visit our forum every now and then.[p]Just to whet your appetites, I'm developing a revolutionary way to do ribs on the Egg. The first tests have produced the best ribs I have ever done and temperature seems fairly irrelevant. As soon as I have the first prototype built, I'll post pics.[p]Frosty Ones,
Jim[p]P.S. Don't ask how we squeezed the whole hog on the Egg!!! :)

    JSlot,
    An excellent showing Jim! Ain't it terrible when you misjudge one of your entries and then you see that respectable 14th place overall and whisper to yourself, "What if....?" That's what keeps us packing up camp and headin' out to the cookoffs though, eh?
    Interestin' in yer rib findings!

    JSlot,[p]First off Congrats! nice show on the competition. Your fault however is that you ask us not to ask about the whole hog on the egg yet that is my question.
    Pictures? and how did that happen?[p]Gotta know.[p]Chris

    Yep, that's what makes so much fun! BTW, we fed a whole lotta people some Ragin' River chicken legs on Friday to rave reviews. I guess we cooked about 200 legs. Couldn't find a single one left when I was hankerin for a snack at 3 a.m. LOL.[p]Jim

    I'm trying to get the prototype built quickly. Unfortunately, the guy who's building it will be working long hours over the next month or so. I was hoping to have it ready for our contest in Tennessee next month, but looks like I'll have to use my jury rig. LOL.[p]Jim

    JSlot,[p]You've got me curious for sure, dude. Maybe it will be ready for the unveiling in Waldorf?[p]I agree with your choice of Raging River on chicken...... I did some ChefRD's Hot Wings with the RR as the seasoning and the flavor was outrageously good.
    Raging River spare ribs are also da bomb ..... RR aint just for salmon any more![p]John

    JSlot,[p]Not bad overall. I bet you had fun. I'm getting ready to pack up my two large eggs and head to Dripping Springs, TX for a cook off in a couple of weeks. 36 hours of BBQ & Beer is the best way to get back into the swing of things after being away for 6 weeks.[p]Cheers & good luck on the next one.


    Cheers,
