Not sure where to start about the weekend just gone. We got to Kangaroo Valley on Friday and on Friday night I found out a good friend of over 3 decades passed away unexpectedly. I was absolutely gutted, I just wanted to pack up and go home, it was had to focus and find the energy to compete, but my teammates propped me up and we gave it a good crack.
1st in Lamb
2nd in Brisket
3rd in Chicken
6th in Beef Rib
17th in Pork Ribs
This gave us equal points with the Reserve Grand Champions, but we came 3rd on a countback. Still an amazing result in our 3rd comp as a team, yes, we had the genius that is Daniel Barrington from Barbecue Supply Co. helping us out, but Craig and Chad really stepped up this weekend, our presentation has never been an issue, and we ironed out some taste and texture kinks this weekend with Dan's help, so thank you brother. Over Summer there will be a lot more practice and we can't wait to compete again in 2024.
To Frank and the team at Alpha Fresh and Andrew at Capital Charcoal, your produce and products held us in great stead to put up some great dishes so thank you for your continued support.
No Hurricanes or Methheads this year either, and it was great to see our mates from Love'n Smoke BBQ, Dru-B-Qand Blue Dog BBQ too, congrats to Blue Dog on their 1st place in Pork Ribs, and congrats to Jacks Creek BBQ and Smokin Swine BBQ for taking GC and RCG ๐
3am start this morning to get things underway. The new Dru-B-Q drum has joined its older sibling and is chugging away nicely!
The legend that is Daniel Barrington is joining us tomorrow for the ABA competition and he competed in the SCA Comp today. It was great to assist him and pick up some valuable knowledge. Dan placed 6th in Chicken Wings, 3rd in Dessert and 6th in Steak ๐๐ผ It was 36 degrees in the tent and itโs cooled down now, which is a welcome change.
Prep is underway now for tomorrow where weโll hand in Chicken, Lamb, Pork Ribs, Brisket and Beef Ribs. Massive ups to Alpha Fresh and Capital Charcoal for their continued support โค๏ธ
All set up at Kangaroo Balley BBQ comp. Massive shout out to our amazing sponsors Alpha Fresh and Capital Charcoal for their support ๐๐๐
Really looking forward to competing at KVA BBQ this weekend. If you're in the Canberra region a short trip up the highway is definitely worth it as it's a great weekend with a lot of great food and drink vendors for the public!
Pork Shoulders for tonightโs wedding ๐
Can't wait for this! We had a ball last year, we survived the hurricane and the irate local, met some great new friends, and, we had our best finish in Comp. Looking forward to catching up with our fellow competitors and trying to impress the judges!
Alpha Fresh, Capital Charcoal and Capital Brewing Co. are our wonderful team sponsors and we look forward to doing them proud! For any Canberra friends, it's just a quick trip up the highway and it is a great family day out, so come and say hello!

Lovely fresh morning for it!
Wedding Season has begun!
My cousins bought me a fantastic chopping board made from camphor laurel for my 50th, but it was so nice and huge, Iโve decided to turn it into a bar top. So now this new board from will get plenty of abuse, made from reclaimed Aussie hardwood, cant wait to slice some of our tasty brisket and shred pulled pork on it!

To everyone who came and sampled our menu yesterday at the Queanbeyan Multicultural Festival, we just wanted to say thank you. We've done quite a few private catered events, but this was our 1st public service, we learned a lot and we'll be even better next time. Low and Slow cooking is just that, our fastest food still takes about 90 mins ๐ most takes anywhere from 6hrs to 14hrs. We've had a lot of great feedback and we thank you all for your kind words. We will be at the 4wd and Camping Show Queanbeyan on April 2 and 3, but we are planning more roadside pop-ups in Queanbeyan or Canberra before that too! Finally thanks for being patient with us yesterday and thanks for being nice to the team!
