Nice pictures, but you shouldn't have been able to take a picture of the judging. :)

Brian did fairly well. Looking a those banners and reviewing the teams that competed, he was up against to well established teams.

To check the results of any KCBS competition just go to their website. The results are generally posted that same day.

First, we had a great time at the competition. The results aren't as good as we had hoped for but not bad for our first comp of the year. Also, it was great to meet Gary and his wife Pat. I wish we had more time to talk but we were pretty busy when they stopped by Saturday.

There were 28 teams, we finished 14th. As Habs stated there was some pretty good competition. The team that won the Grand Champion "rented" out a guy from Virginia that has been cooking with Myron Mixon so I am sure that gave them a pretty good edge. We did get one call for our 7th place ribs.

Here are our scores...

Overall - 618.2852
Chicken - 151.4284 - 20th Place
Ribs - 161.1430 - 7th Place
Pork - 153.1426 - 14th Place
Brisket - 152.5712 - 16th Place

Here are some pics from the event....

Our area...

Cooks meeting, Fred from Fred's Music and Barbecue Supply was competing. That is him right in front of me in the grey shirt.

Carter and I heading to a turn-in...

Awards...

Hoping to hear our name called...

7th Place Ribs...

Our chicken, thought our scores would have been better. We thought it tasted great.

Ribs...

Pork, a little overcooked...

Brisket, also overdone and we were running short on time so the box doesn't look very good. Not happy with that at all.

We learned a few things a will be making a couple of changes for our competition this weekend in Raystown, PA.

WTG Bryan and Team

Looks like a bunch of first place stuff to me. ;D

pensrock · September 13, 2011, 09:47:31 AM

Looks great Bryan. any info about the Raystown event? I'm still nursing my arm and hand from the surgeries but would like to get down one of the days. Would Friday be the best day to come down or Saturday? I really do not want to deal with a huge crowd and risk getting bumped into a lot, still healing up. But I would also like to get there when they are serving samples, if they do that? I never been to a smoking comp. I imagine its held near the Seven Points Marina.

muebe · September 13, 2011, 09:55:31 AM

Bryan all the food looks great to me!

Congrats for the 7th place on the ribs :)

Chili Head · September 13, 2011, 12:53:01 PM

This was your first time out?
Looks like a win to me! You didn't finish in last place ! Hold your heads high! You guys did great!
Food looks good too!

Greg,

Below is a link to the schedule of events. There isn't anything going on Friday. The teams do not normally serve samples. Once all the turn-ins are done, around 1:30 on Sunday, we will have plenty of left overs since we only turn-in such a small amout of what we cook.

I would recommend coming down Saturday. There is a poeple's choice pork competition, judging starts at 2:00pm so you can get some samples and judge then. Plus it looks like there is a bunch of other stuff going on also that day. Hope to see you there.

Sounds like fun, it will be about 1-3/4 hour drive for me to get there. :)
They must have vendors there if the comp does not serve the public till the end.
If I leave just before noon I'll be there before 2:00, I'll probably only stay for 2-3 hours cause I'll still have to drive back home with the bad arm. Is it right at the marina? I'm wondering where everyone parks?
It would be cool to own one of those huge house boats they have there. :)
Thanks for the info, I'm going to try to get there.
