BarbecueCoach.com member in Kennesaw Pigs & Peaches

Bill, it was great meeting you this weekend. We had out best weekend yet with a 1st in ribs, 9th in pork, 9th in brisket and 39th in chicken to get a 4th overall and 1.5 points out of Reserve Grand. One judge gave our chicken a 9, 6, 6, and was just enough to kill our chances but so goes competitive bbq!! I never thought I would convert over to hot and fast but not only did I get plenty of sleep, the pace was very different both Friday and Saturday. Can’t wait for the next competition!!!

Thanks

Bossman BBQ takes 10th in Worland, WY

Hi Bill,
Just wanted to let you know how we did in Worland. We came in 10th overall; we were 6th in chicken, 10th in pork, 6th in brisket and 23 in Ribs. My ribs sucked and I knew it the minute I started cutting them they dried out I think I used to much brown sugar when I wrapped them. When I started to cut my ribs they were ripping on the meat side like the whole rib had a candy coating from the brown sugar and caused the ribs to fuse together. There were 31 teams at this contest with QUAU, number one team in the standings taking GC, Believe me I wanted to beat them so bad LOL but it is what it is!

I’ll be writing an article on barbecuecoach.com for my blog on cooking schools. I’ve learned allot from you and the techniques you teach. Glad to be a part of this program and plan to bring as much business as I can to you, just hope it doesn’t get to the point where when we compete everyone is using your techniques! It looks like we have had a few hits going to your site on the links I have to you on my website! As soon as the article is done I will email it to you prior to it being published. Thanks again

Traeger smoke setting

I just purchased your book, and I have a question about brisket.
I use a traeger bbq, the smoke cycle heats to about 150, the med cycle heats to about 250, should I heat the brisket to a certain temp before smoking or just heat the bbq and place the brisket and smoke first before cooking or cook first then smoke?
Please let me know, thank you John

HEY, Bill
I ordered the southwest seasoning,IT IS AWSOME. Man, my wife is not going to kill me (yet). She thinks it taste great and it might be what I am missing on my cooking. I can’t believe that it got here so soon,(are you around the corner or what?). My wife, like other wifes is taking a very close at my bill that I am running up. Including the entry to the Sept. 3rd cook-off, I invested $599.00 in your videos, $132.00 in meat, plus $150.00 or so in spice $150.00 for entry into the event. So, if I get Grand Champ, worth $2500.00, not only will I blog on the forum, but my wife and I will hunt you down to huggggg your your neck. Man, thanks even my wife thinks or believes that we can take the state championship.You are doing a great thing, just cutoff all info to Texas, except for me. ok?HAHAHA

Thanks Bill for everything, If I win champ, no when I win this championship I will make it a point to see you soon after.

Bill you have been awsome, THANKS.
