We decided to try our hand in KCBS masters series this weekend at Smoking for the Kids in Troy Illinois. Well we didn’t get the results we hoped for but we did hear our name in ribs with a 9th place. I will say this was a very stacked field of 32 master cooks and I am pleased with my results and I learned a lot! Glad I had Ruthless Boys BBQ helping me out this weekend I sure couldn’t have done it without him! Kyson was my taste tester, bbq hand, and box runner this weekend! He said my ribs were the best I’ve ever made and they did hit so he has a good pallet!
