Finally got time before my flight back to Australia to do a quick wrap up of the weekend.
Day 1 - BBQ Capital Showdown, Lockhart TX
Chicken - 6th
Ribs - 15th
Pork - 12
Brisket - 6th
Good enough for a Reserve Grand Champion. Congrats to Jared Mccrory from Bearfoot Cookers on the Grand Championship!
Day 2 - Bexar County Junior Livestock, San Antonio TX
Another pretty good day on the tools.
9th Chicken
1st Ribs
5th Brisket
Managed a 4th place overall, scoring was tight on this one, with only 1.72 points between 1st and 4th. Congrats to Smoking and Toasting for the RGC and First Class BBQ for their Grand Championship.
Sincerely want to thank everyone who helped me over this past weekend.
Sure Shot BBQ - massive thanks for the loan of the equipment. Absolute legends.
Stacy Breneman & Robert A. Smith for opening up your space for me and letting me use your trailer and amenities. Was just a massive help.
If I've missed anyone, not intentional, sleep deprived and energy depleted and currently waiting for a flight home
We drove through 19 states of the USA these past couple of weeks, met some new friends and caught up with old ones.
Did our best to hold our own against some bloody awesome cooks.
See ya next time.
