You'll have to reset your Tapatalk application... (clear the cache, application data, sign in again) Let me find the thread on it - it happened to all of us a couple months ago.

When I get home this week I'm building a cart similar to this one for my party.

Well good luck, everyone around here knows you are a champion...
My Fat Boy will be up and runnin soon.
Question?
Why can't we put together a comp team from guys off the forum?
Maybe 4 times a year.
Practice run in Padoucha? (Larry could get Us in)
that sounds like an awesome ideal Sonny.

Charlie Jacket, are acquaintance from from the construction field.

Chicken: 6th 171.4286
Ribs: 36th 152.5710
Pork: 18th 164.5710
Brisket: 17th 162.2856

This was out of 48 teams.

Nice job on placing Mark. Got any pics of your submissions?
I only have this one due to my phone battery charging during a few turn in...I know Tom, the pitmaster, took several photos.

We did the brisket in the party everything else was done in his smoker.

This guy installed a shield on the front of his Backwoods to help with the mess on the lower door from the open chamber.

Thanks Gus, however, the wife and I just went to help a little.
Tom has been completing for the last 2 years but this weekend his team was a member short so the wifey and I decided to help.
I first told him no since I have no experience doing competitions but I want to do more.

Great job Mark, and I'm sure you had alot of fun...
Looks like fun Mark.
Great job!
Way to go Mark!
If you guys want to come to Paducah let me know but this year is totally closed. The other thing you need to know is in Paducah not only are you competing, you also are cooking for a local charity of your choosing and feeding around 50,000 people for 3 solid days.
Now, having said all of that, if all goes well Pat, Hal and I are going to get our feet wet with this as one of the local competitors has asked me to bring "my guys"(his quote) down and cook his chicken entry for the competition because his guys apparently can't cook chickens for squat. Jan and I have also agreed to take the Judge's class in August to make sure what the Judge's are looking for.
He has agreed to haul my MAK 2 Star down there if we will cook comp chickens for him. Hopefully this will all work out so we can. He's working through a pretty ugly divorce right now.

September 22nd, 23rd and 24th. The morning of the 24th is the competition. We're rolling down there on the evening of the 22nd after MrsSTC gets out of school.
Not just too bad there Mark. At least you learned something while having fun.
