    Costa Rica BBQ Challenge!

    I wasn’t able to bring my own smokers down, or bring my own meats into the country. Fortunately, I have established a great BBQ bond with Justice BBQ out of Costs Rica and he loaned me his WSM to compete with and supplied me with the ribs and chicken from his butcher. Btw, he finished 1st in...

    Competition Brisket Practice Run
