Entered my first competition on Sat and out of 50 Ribs Teams, I got 13th just a half point shy of 10th.. The ribs were good, just slightly over done. I used a Cherry/Apple mix on the wood and did a light sauce on the tops to finish them off.. I entered the chicken and this was my second time doing chicken on the grill and with a NEW sauce I made the night before.. I got 6th out of 35 teams, and 1 point from 2nd place, the sauce was spot on and I know I got dinged on the presentation.. So overall, it was good, good food, cold beers and FUN...

There was 3 of us in one area, and we all were on the WSM as our smoker.

Here are the results, I would like to see the comments.. http://anchorboatclub.net/bbq-results-2013/

I did clean up the foam, I am sure I got dinged on that as well...

Very nice and congrats! Is that a pic of your setup? Or you and your neighbors? I'm tempted to enter an amateur local comp coming up, trying to get my hands on a 2nd WSM.
 
This was 3 individual teams/guys.. Just a bunch of Soccer guys moonlighting .... lol That was my 3rd cook on my WSM..I think we had about 13 cooks total between the 3 of us..
 
Nice job Matthew! Ribs look great and good results. I like your setup, everything but the cooler ;) I hope you didn't keep the ribs in there prior to cooking.
 
Ribs look awesome, how many smokers you have out there? I count three in the picture, but not sure if they are all in use by your team.

3 smokers, 3 individuals 1 Group.. I brought my 22.5 Weber kettle... just for warming sauce and searing chicken skin and heating appetizers
 
These were my last years results, did not know what the breakdown was until just now... Sat will be the the return to this competition and hopefully have better results...I did good in chicken, Ribs I think my downfall is/was over done. I will monitor the ribs and grill temp better now with my Mav 732
