Thank you!! Here are a couple of rib boxes..

Leftovers from yesterday!

I have competed with all three. The judges still seem to go with thighs, but I switched to legs last year. They are a lot easier to prep. I also tried wings and displayed them in a star pattern. The key is to remove one of the bones in the flats, and a butter bath is the chickens best...

Thanks Jon. Good to hear from you. Things have come a long ways since we first met at the Midwest Get Together! Tell Bruce and the gang we need to get that back on track!

Feel free to message me with any questions.

I divided the grill into two zones and cooked the steaks directly over the coals for about four minutes per side and then transferred them over to the other side until they reached a temp of about 135°.

No, I’m a competition barbecue team. Weber supplied the grills and I donated my time to cook. The trailer can be rented. There were 3 of us so we each managed our own grill.

Last batch is on!

Setting up to cook 300 steaks for a fundraiser in Johnsburg Illinois!

No, they are still hot. I wear cotton glove liners under the disposable nitrile gloves to handle them. I slice them meat side down so I can see the bones better and make straight cuts. I dip them in a heated sauce that has been thinned out so they have more of a shine and no brush marks. I...

Thanks Mark. I do use 2 racks to build the box, so I run that risk like you mentioned. I cook 4 and choose the 2 that I feel to be similar. This time it didn't turn out as well as expected. :)

Thanks for your input. I cooked 4 racks all from Wichita Packing in Chicago. I tasted all 4 and chose the best 2 for tenderness. The back row is all from one rack and front row is from the other. They are the 4 center bones next to each other from each rack. The temps when I pulled them were...

We finished 18th last weekend out of 47 talented teams! The judges weren’t as impressed with our ribs as we were as they came in at 25th. We changed up our chicken recipe and it has improved. Overall, we were pleased with our cook. For those new to the score sheets, it is judged on a...

Thanks All!

Quick recap of the new smoker build … by Smoker Builder!! My 12 year old grandson and assistant PitMaster helped me put them together.

I still have to pick out some casters to put on. They are sitting on dollies right now. Then a few flames and our logo!

A little more progress… Putting them together tomorrow to get ready for the custom graphics.

Nice! I missed that one, but try to catch his livestreams when I can.

Nicely done Gary!
