These wings turned out really good.
Seasoned with the new Southern Heat rub from Mississippi Spice Company — great flavor with a nice little kick.

And as always, the chicken from The Butcher Meat Co. was top quality. Starting with good meat makes all the difference.

Simple, solid, and definitely doing this again.

Great spending some time today with Ken from Mississippi Spice Company. He hooked us up with a banner that we’ll proudly display as we run his amazing spices in competitions this season. Appreciate the support and partnership.

Today we were able to compete in the Vinemont Grillin and Chillin festival again. This is the competition that got us hooked last year. This year we were very fortunate to get to hear our names called again and we RGC'd for the second straight year. We had 3rd place calls in chicken thighs and wings and a 1st place call in ribs! Congratulations to everyone that competed and heard their names called. As always thanks to The Butcher - Meat Co. for always supplying top quality meats. If you havent been by their shop you are missing out!!! We will see yall out there again next spring!!!

As always a special thanks to The Butcher - Meat Co. for always hooking us up with Joyce Farms chicken thighs and duroc ribs. We felt we had one of our best cooks so far.

Happy Easter everyone!

We did a double smoked ham with a maple brown sugar glaze and boy was it delicious!

We have a short break from competitions through April but looking forward to getting back at it in May. We got alot of constructive criticism at the last comp so hoping to refine a few things between now and then.

Well thats a wrap on our first KCBS competition. Conditions weren't ideal but we made the best of it. We didn't get any calls but got to meet a ton of great people and learn alot from far more experienced cooks.

Shoutout to 2 Swine Crew, Competition BBQ Team, Deviant Smoke Competition Cooking Team, and Mad Rocket Barbecue for your honest opinions and advice.

Thanks to The Butcher - Meat Co. for supplying the highest quality of meat for us to compete with!

Looking forward to fine tuning a few things and trying it again real soon.
