That’s a neat contraption...Foghorn said:Pork al pastor cooker. Have to tend 3 fires.

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

No rest for the weary:
25lbs bacon, 6lbs of Pancetta, and 7lbs of Coppa all in the salt nap for a while.

@SciAggie, there are a lot of Aggies here. Which should not surprise anybody.

The best job at the cookoff. Watching the pastor rotate and occasionally spraying it with salt water.

Will do @saluki2007. We’re packed tighter than previous years. 3 teams cooking here. Our team on a Gator Pit (foreground). Joey Smith in his custom chrome pit (behind the Gator offset). And some of his team breaking off to man a Traeger (far back).
We’re sponsored by Shiner so they provided the pop up canopy. And Yetis full of their beer. Shiner Light Blonde goes down easy in the daytime.

Well I for one hope some of your high-society sausage will make its way to us lowlifes in NC.Foghorn said:So, the sausage saga continues. I arrived on site last evening at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo BBQ Cookoff. Our host from last weekend arranged for several of us to have an RV on site with some friends who compete.“Our” team is The Good Life BBQ.
https://www.goodlifebbq.com/
We’re sharing a site (6 sites actually) with world champion Joey Smith of Texas Chrome BBQ.https://texaschromebbq.com/
He has probably the coolest looking smoker I’ve ever seen. Pics aren’t great because of tight quarters between the RVs.I served up some of our masala and merguez for several members of both teams last night and folks were uniformly impressed. It made me wonder if taking our sausage for taste testing by some yahoos in NC was even worth doing at this point. @JohnInCarolinaLooking forward to a couple of good days of BBQ.

Ingredients were carefully weighed from a recipe that was at best a guess, but at least we can repeat it. I’d be curious if there are tweaks that you and the guys recommend.Foghorn said:Unfortunately we didn’t have @c@caliking’s input.(now only 16 stone)

I just shared slices of the masala and the beef merguez with multiple members of 3 competitive teams. Consensus is that the masala is indeed too spice forward and that the beef merguez is best ever. Like chorizo only better and not as greasy.There is not (to me anyway) a specific spice that needs to be reduced in the masala. Maybe reduce them all 10-20% to let the meat flavor come through.

Did y'all account for reserving half of the spice mix , after toasting and grinding it , when you were doing your fancy calculations?

Also, my son, my out-of-town friend, and I just finished judging chicken. There was a surprisingly wide range of tastes and quality.

These jalapeño brisket poppers and these ribs did not finish in the top 20. With that said, the ones that didn’t get turned in to the judges were REALLY good.Was a good weekend overall. Our team got 5th in dessert, 3rd in ribeye, and 7th in brisket.XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

They are @SciAggie. They've taken 6th place each of the last two years. They've always been made with frozen competition brisket from a previous contest, but the team didn't have any of that on hand. So, they cooked one at home to pull but according to the guy who always puts them together, it didn't have the same consistency as it was "too juicy". As a result, they were somewhat runny on the inside when they were sliced - and the judges have to eat them with a knife and fork.SciAggie said:Sounds like a lot of fun. Those poppers look delicious.
That didn't keep me from filling up on the "rejects". XXL BGE, Karebecue, Klose BYC, Chargiller Akorn Kamado, Weber Smokey Mountain, Grand Turbo gasser, Weber Smoky Joe, and the wheelbarrow that my grandfather used to cook steaks from his cattle

Pancetta and coppa out of the cure and into the undisclosed location. The coppa is a monster, and I’m looking forward to a bite of each. HT to @The Cen-Tex Smoker, who got them both through the curing phase.
Yes, that’s a two year old prosciutto just hangin’ out, too(now only 16 stone)
