Weekend Comp

Crimsongator

He is the write up from our first offical comp as "Heavy P BBQ" Heath (Rolling Egg) and I competed in a shadetree competition here in Huntsville. We finished 10th overall with a 10th in ribs and 14th in chicken. It was the first of the year for the Bama BBQ Trail and had teams from 3 states, so were were pleased overall. We have 4 more planned for the year.

Great job Gene!

Bobby, we had a blast and had wished for at least one top 5, but there will be time for that. I am thankful for 4 sides on the BGE canopy. It was 34 outside and we had propane heaters inside and stayed at a cozy 58-60.

I learned a few more things to put in to place for the next one. Hope to see you at an academy class soon.

I just got the final email from the contest organizer and we were 2nd in butts. It was a side entry and only paid 1st place so we didn't know until now.

Way to go!!! :woohoo: CONGRATS!

Rolling Egg

This was one awesome weekend.I've always wanted to compete in a BBQ comp and I guess I can mark it off the list. It was a little bit hectic at turn in time but all turned out well. I learned so much this weekend and cant wait for our other comps! Gene definately kept it smooth all weekend.
Btw- Just read the score cards and found out we were 2nd in pork butts! I feel really good now!!

Gene, congratulations of your showings!

That is one sweet set up. Nice selection of eggs, plenty of shade, and a generator.

Good luck in your future competitions.

You know second place is just first loser, right?

We will do one in Athens in April. You could tie that in with a visit to Gibson's and see Ken.

Crimsongator

If I had one wish, it would be to upgrade the L to another XL.

Crimsongator

Yes, it was out in Gurley at the Rec Center. This is their 2nd contest and had all KCBS judges. It was a rib/chicken comp with a side entry for butts. In additon there was a kids-q

Crimsongator

Thanks Rebecca. Heath and I had a blast. I think Graham (smokyb) may join us for another one. If he doesn't I am going to slap a franchise label on him

Crimsongator

There were 3 other teams that had eggs, but no all egg teams. They had Stumps, Langs and WSMs with eggs added to them.
