Thank you Rich for the nice comments. I got a very small taste of what you and your team experience with great regularity and all I can say is I want more! I also want to thank everyone that gave me encouragement before I left including my former team mates (Uncle Bubba), friends (Kaz Q, yes Kaz Q), all my friends at Barbecue Central, alot of whom I feel fortunate to have met and the many more I correspond with daily on the forum and hope to meet some day soon. All great people, fun people, and people I'm pround to call my BBQ friends. I can't believe how much all have us have grown in the short time we've been on this forum. I would never have ever thought of competition barbecue if it weren't for these forums. I also want to thank all the people that have taught me a little piece of what they've learned the hard way in order to accelerate my learning curve, Bill Milroy, Myron Mixon, Fast Eddy Maurin, and Mike Davis. I encourage everyone to take a class from any of these guys (Fast Eddy puts out the best food for the class BTW). Lastly I want to thank my wife who has put up with all my eccentricities regarding all the smokers I've purchased over the years and my son Danny who is the other half of Double D's BBQ.

Sorry to ramble on and sound like I just won the Academy awards but I feel that excited. I told Uncle Bubba before I left that my main interest in this contest was to see how far back I was behind all these BBQ greats that were at that contest. I was shocked to find out that I could hang with these guys for awhile but cream always rises to the top and most of the big names were there at the end as I expected. I was shocked to find my name in the top 10 list with them. No big head here, just honored to Q along with these guys.

Thanks also to all the people that organized the contest. It was totally chaotic and disorganized but they put on one hell of a contest for a first time contest with big name entertainment. I'm sure next year will be even better.

No not really. I got the Stumps so I could go to contests in Michigan where they don't have electricity (now don't yell at me I'm not picking on Michigan, you know its true (I'm only talking about Grand Rapids now).

Thanks again Bruce!

All that I can say is that Bill (the grill guy) and Gary are a true class act! They allowed me, a complete novice in competition que, to watch what they did and how they did it. They even fed me to boot! Those were some great steaks Gary, and those eggs were to die for Bill!

I also met Brian J and Mr. Grumpy. Equally nice folks also.

I can understand how this competition que thing can be addictive with such great people all around you!

You guy's are true examples of the BBQ brotherhood! Thank you very much for all of your hospitality and showing me the ropes a bit!

You did beat me on the sauce, and even after you were trying to hijack mine off the table... next time, I get yours.

And seeing I was only 5 places behind you overall, and seeing I really botched my ribs, I might have edged you out if I hadn't.... watch out next time...

Bill

Ah, how about chicken?
MSOTMB 18
Smoke-N-My-I's 21

And you dont want to go there on the Ribs.

The sauce is Gary's and it is GOOOD. Next time Bill, next time!

How many contests have you and Gary been in Bill TGG?? I think Mr. Grumpy has only been in two! That's pretty impressive on his part! [smilie=a_takethatfoo.gif] Finney made me say that!

Oh yeah, and if my chicken halves been 10 minutes sooner, you would have been way back in the pack.... the breast meat turned out so moist and tender. That was the ace in my sleeve...... next time...
