I had the pleasure of judging BBQ today for the 4th year in a row at the Wine Country Big Q competition in Petaluma, CA. It was a hot day, but the turn-out was good and there were plenty of cold adult beverages to keep the crowd properly hydrated. ;)

Congrats to TVWBB friends Sharpe Gourmet Cooking Wood for taking GC and Cynical BBQ for taking RC.

Hope you enjoy these photos from today's event.

Sharpe Gourmet Cooking Wood has a left-hinged 22" WSM.
 
I see Harry has a 14.5" WSM too. I'd sure like to sample his fare. :cool:

Great pictures, Chris! I hope to visit one of these competitions one day. I have relatives in Independence, MO that would love to have us, but getting there would be a feat in itself.
 
Way to go Chris, that was their secret weapon which contributed to GC'ing in Petaluma... now everyone is going to do it :D

I hope the secret is out! I've got to help level the playing field between NorCal and SoCal. These SoCal teams keep coming up north, take all our prize money and trophies, and smile all the way back down I-5! :D
 
Looks like it was a great time. I bet it was hot though, man it's been a hot summer already
