Executive Chef
Well, we had three groups at the cook-off :
Blackjack BBQ (J.Shively ,Bruce was helping him alot)
Hawgs and Hogs (Dirty Ron Schaefer , Saginaw, Mi)
Northcoast BBQ Society (Me , Uncle Bubba , and Kloset BBQ'r)
Unfortunately, the none of us placed (our ribs were tied for 10th but we lost the tiebreaker! #-o ) Our sausage and brisket were both 17th.There were 61 teams and this was our first attempt so we were buoyed by the results! J. Shively, (who Bruce helped out a great deal) finished 50th out of the group cooking alone on a 42" Gator in his first cook also. We finished 43rd overall. We divide the cooking up :
Me : Ribs, Chicken, Sausage
Uncle Bubba: Pulled Pork / Aesthetics
Kloset : Brisket/ Burnt Ends
Funny thing is, the chicken faired poorly, but both Bubba and I thought it was the strongest entry. We will have to keep studying. All of us are planning on doing the Ohio Smoked Meat Championship in October.
It was great to meet Bruce, who helped everybody out , and drank my share of the beer (I take my cooking seriously , although I did have some around 3:00 am). I think Bruce and I were up the latest. He crashed out around 5:00 and I was the onliest one to go without sleep! WE had a great time, but got stuck in a wicked bad 200 mile storm on the way home today! Just cleaning out the stuff for a 300 person cook this Friday! Later folks, Woodman
