That wasn’t a total loss! Most importantly, I have met some FANTASTIC people through the Rib Cook Off Association and they have welcomed me in from day 1! I love burning meat in parking lots and campgrounds with these folks and wish the season didn’t have to end! Next season can’t get here soon enough!

With that, we cooked our very first competition steak today…and finished 4th!!! $$ Thanks to Pits N Grills in Springfield, MO for the advice! I walked in told him what was going on and he set me up with the package! It doesn’t hurt that he is chasing points all over the country for Steak Cook Off Association…he knows a thing or 3! Aces Wild tenderizer,MO BBQ Co Ribeye Reserve Steak Rub, Boars Night Out White Lightning Double Garlic Butter!

Ribs, well…same problem I face consistently, I just can’t cook them long enough. Maybe I’ll get it through my head next season. We didn’t make the top 11…I ran the entire Heath Riles recipe today and the taste was there…just not the tenderness.

Weapons of Choice and folks to thank:
Smoke n Sizzle - Nixa, MO
Gateway Drum Smokers
Heath Riles BBQ
Royal Oak Charcoal
Harter House Market - Nixa (Ribeye)

Wilbur is all setup in Forsyth, MO for the Rib Cook Off Association Shadow Rock BBQ Competition. Nice little campground right in the water! Just one rib turn in tomorrow but there is a steak cook. It will be my first steak cook so we’ll see how that goes! Right now, it’s bed time!!

As Lyndal Scranton sort of put it, team Tailgate Guys BBQ kinda took it in the teeth this weekend. I was relatively happy with my chicken and a little disappointed in the outcome. Yes this was a KCBS Masters event, but the score is the score in either Backyard or Masters. I know I make pretty chicken, but apparently this weekend the taste and tenderness was a little off. Anyway, here was my contribution to the team, a 169.###x chicken.

Well I think this just about sums up the day. I was a gorgeous day to cook BBQ…too bad it wasn’t better BBQ. With that said, I was tasked with only cooking chicken and I was reasonably pleased. It was good for 20/28. It was my first masters cook, but it wouldn’t matter if it was masters or backyard, 169 chicken is 169 chicken.

On to the next!

We are all setup in Branson, MO at Rock Lane Resort and Marina for the Grills Gone Wild BBQ Competition. I’m cooking with Tailgate Guys BBQ this weekend. Love a contest with a fantastic view!! Good luck to everyone cooking everywhere!

A little Rib experiment today. I’ve been wanting to cook using the heat deflector and no water pan, advice from Poppin Smoke BBQ! I’ve been struggling to get my rub to set, probably from being a little heavy handed! But the rub set and pretty quickly! I probably could have spritzed a little and gone a little longer. But the color was good so I wrapped.

Just used the Heath Riles BBQ Competition Run and Butter Bath and Blues Hog Champions Blend sauce on the Gateway Drum Smokers.

Happy Sunday!!

What do we do on a weekend that we don’t have a contest? We practice for next weekend! I don’t get the opportunity to cook chicken much these days so thank goodness I didn’t forget how last weekend! And next weekend, we’re cooking chicken for Tailgate Guys BBQ at The Kansas City Barbeque Society Grills Gone Wild contest in Branson, Mo.

This was a practice just to look for tenderness and color. I didn’t brine and that certainly affected taste! But skin was good and looks were good, if not a little dark.

I also wanted to give a little comp BBQ taste to my local BBQ store owner, Chris at Smoke n Sizzle in Nixa, Mo. go see him or online and order!!!

Used just Loot N' B***y BBQ Gold Star Chicken Rub and Blues Hog Champions Blend, Smoke This and Jody Harris Momma’s Hot Honey! Cooked on the silver Gateway Drum Smokers.
