Talked to Dallas last night. He fininshed in the mid 50's and just missed a call in pork at 24(I think). That comp is like the Jack with the level of competition there. I'm picking Rod to win the Jack this year. The Wade's finished RGC.

Well of course DD BBQ finished in the middle of the pack,remember that new mobile is a virgin and was probably all shy for it's first competition,pretty sure will take a while before
DD starts winning GC's.cmon no one took the winning it all comments seriously with a brand new cooker.
Was the GC winner cooking on his Geer again?

Thanks for the full list Diva. I wasn't on my home 'puter and was rushing to get out the door to deliver a youngster back to college.

BTW, I had some of those jalapeno peanuts you sent CliffH and they're great. 8) Are they available over the 'net?

Ok folks. Before my computer has a complete breakdown I want to get these pics up.

Dallas,

It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife. Thank you very much for letting my wife and I hang out with you and get a first hand look at what comp cooking is all about.

Thru the night I asked a lot of questions. Every time Dallas got up to check the pit or prep a catagory, I was right there with him and he never once told me to sit down and shut up.

He may have thought it but he didn't say it.

Dallas' wife Donna is a true team member. She prepped all the boxes and spent much time making sure that they were just right. My wife told me that Donna normally runs the boxes but Dallas let me run the boxes this time. That was an honor.

I really appreciate the experience and the opportunity to participate.

I also met Joe aka 1MoreFord. I shared some good conversation with him as well.

And now for your viewing pleasure :

At the end of the day Dallas went to hook on to his pit and get his arse out of Hot Springs. I took a detour.

We're back!

Wow what a trip! We're back but I'm exhausted. I'm taking the day off of work today to recover from our vacation!

This was by far the biggest contest I had ever cooked in. It was extremely well run and organized and had tremendous crowds and top notch entertainment for everyone!

We finished in the lower middle of the pack at 55th overall so we weren't exactly happy with our performance but we did beat 40 teams. We almost got a call for pork (24th).

Its a lot different cooking far away from home. Thanks to Jamie Geer for helping us get our meat and wood and the great job he did making sure we had everything we needed for the contest.

Special thanks to Cliff and Joe (1 More Ford) for helping us out this weekend. It was so nice to have friends helping us out and rooting us on from the forum. We couldn't have done it without you.

Cliff I hope you decided to get into competition BBQ and enter that contest in Mississippi!

Looking forward to next weekend and seeing everyone at Oinktoberfest!
 
Dallas,

Good to see your post. I saw Cliff's post earlier. Glad to know everyone has made it home safe.

Good to meet you and your wife, Cliff and his wife, and associate faces with your names.

Thanks to all of you very much for letting me hang around. Learned a bunch from y'all and Cliff. Hope I didn't get in the way too much.

Best of luck to you next weekend.

Great looking pit, Dallas! Did you happen to ask Jamie why he doesn't return my phone calls and emails about being on the show for a segment...THAT is NOT good karma for him! :shock: 8)

Probably cause you're cooking on a Klose! :LOL:

Jamie mentioned to me that he'd be glad to be on your show. Give him a call and set it up!
 
Well done Dallas, considering the amount of time you have travelled lately in addition to a new pit I think you should be very proud of your scores and allof your accomplishments. I think your food looked great and Iam sure it tasted great too.

How about Paul Kirk? I have a contact with him but you'd probably be more interested in Steve Raichlin. :roll:

I have emailed him a number of times...no response. :roll: :roll:

Great job on your finish Dallas!!

FYI, I will be having Rod Gray on tonight to talk about the contest! :D
 
Well that probably explains it. I believe the email address you have is his old work email address and he no longer works there! Use the email address on his website:
