A picture is worth a thousand words

This was from my first "big boy" competition. PNWBA Evergreen State BBQ Championship at Alki Beach in Seattle 2007. I was cooking solo as Midnight Ramblers BBQ.

Hard to see through the Caution tape, but this team had a lot going on with the kettles - notice the hillbilly ash cans on the OTS's? They had galvanized buckets set into the ash pans.



As for me, I did not finish last or last on the first page of results. Pork and Brisket tanked, but middle of the pack in Ribs & Chicken.





I did learn one valuable lesson that weekend - do not leave your Drum Smokers out with the lids off!

And some pictures are worth logging back in for.....




Hillbilly OTG's are pretty sweet, too !!!!

I could see how a UDS could get confused with a trash can. Looks like fun hope you had a fine time.

I did and was invited to be a team member of Smokin' Ty's BBQ who won the event and we went to the Jack Daniels in 2008!
