We had a great time at the Omar Bootleggers Annual BBQ Cookoff in Moncks Corner this past weekend. The rain moved out on Sat evening just in time.

We didn't finish where I wanted but still had a blast helping out a great charity and enjoying some fellowship with the BBQ brothers and sisters.

Congratulations to the winners:
Scott Inabinet from Fu Man Que for 1st Place in pork

Steve from Big Wally's Barbecue on First place Ribs.

George Ray with Monkey Bottom Boys for taking Grand Champion
Eric Carpenter with Backdraft BBQ SC on Reserve GC

Off to Doko ribfest next weekend!

A little flavor profile practice for the first comp of the season on the 28th.

These Vallari Prine St Luis really deliver on the flavor & tenderness.

Big shoutout to Big Wally's Barbecue for helping me track some down.

Looking forward to rolling some smoke at the Omar Bootleggers BBQ Cookoff in Moncks Corner. Y'all come out and support a great cause.
