Well I'm all loaded up and ready for a 1 day comp tomorrow. Brisket, spare ribs and 1/2 chicken. Won't let us start until 0800 and brisket turn in is a 1700.

1st Annual Safety Council Contractor BBQ cookoff in Gonzalas, LA.

Only a 1 hour drive from the house, and guess what. The winner gets a BBQ pit????

A good practice day for sure and the weather is gonna be perfect.

Whooo Yaaaa!

What a great day this was. Perfect weather, plenty of beer, lots of new friends, hard work, and a whole lot of fun.

I showed up and it looked like, well, a desert.

But eventually everybody came and it turnbed out there were 19 teams. These three ladies made it happen.

I fought my heart out, after getting up at 0400 and did my thang. Had a 1st timer next to me that I helped all day long and became good friends with. His company sponsered him and they had a LOT of beer!!!

Here are some turn in pics. Sorry about the chicken. Turns out that they wanted to collect all the Q and give it away to the public and my battery was dead until my Baby showed up with the charger.

And here is a shot of the same guys(and me) that always beat my azz,
T-Wayne and Brian Lipps who took 1st and 2nd overall.

T-Wayne took first overall with a 1st in brisket and a 3rd in ribs and Brian got a 2nd in brisket an 3rd in chicken(1 behind me!!!!!!!!) and finished 2nd.(I may not have this right since I'm real tired right now, but bottom line---they beat my azz!!!)

What a fun day we had and I'm whipped. BUT, I did manage to squeeze some tips out of them on brisket that I WILL be trying.
