El Dorado Contest

The team participated in the El Dorado contest August 21. Top to bottom, it was one of the tougher contests we've done in the last 3 years. All in all our scores were pretty good...16th chicken, 19th ribs, 22nd pork and 35th in brisket. Don't know what happened to our brisket, but we must have done something wrong. Presentation scores continue to be good, but we want to try to improve our taste scores. So...what new gadgets did we decide we need? The "Stoker" would help us control temperature and sit by our computer and monitor temps. Mostly it would allow Todd to sit in an air conditioned hotel room and monitor the temps! We also decided to buy shirts for our team. The new logo is on the right. Thanks to our sponsor, City BBQ, for offering to supply us with a new Stoker!

Sold on Q gets 2 calls


Well, we did it at the Wheatstock contest. 2 calls. 7th in pork, 10th in brisket, 12th in chicken and 13th in ribs. 12th place finish overall. Earlier that same day we were ready to retire. All it takes is a call to get the fire going.
