Made it home from the Honeybee Festival - LaFayette, GA. Thank you Chris Finkbone for everything this weekend. Y’all do an amazing job with this contest.. This was a last minute decision to come on Wednesday afternoon to try and help out cause the contest was short on teams. We had no meat lol so we went to Publix to get some ribs, had some frozen pork in the freezer we usually don’t cook and tried to get chicken thighs in time but no such luck so we decided to try legs for our first time in a Kcbs comp. We tried all new different meats in all 4 categories and it was a blast 😂😂😂We ended up lading a 1st place Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Legs Call.. Thank you to our great friends Rooters-n-Tooters BBQ Paul Keltner and Lynn for all the pointers!!! Go TRO!!!! Ended with a 6th place Ribs, 7th place Pork, and 11th Place Brisket, for a 3rd place overall with a 700.5028! We also entered the steak comp on Friday night to support the high school golf team and Taunya won 1st place steak winning $100 and a Bayou Fryer😝😝😝 We had a blast.
Big congratulations to Rooters-n-Tooters on their GC and Levi D Stoakes and Jessica Hettinger-Stoakes with Colorado BullDawg BBQ on RGC. It was great being neighbors and hanging out. I loved getting to know Harper the past two weeks and Izzy loved her so much!!! Congrats on her 3rd place steak!!! Time for two weeks of much needed time off before we head to Alcoa, TN.
