Heating it up at a BBQ Contest

bbq contestPlease note that this is my very first cook-off in 105degree with a feel like it at 115 degree, my shelter fell after a 20mph wind came threw and it blew it away, any and all covering I had was gone. My wife and youngest son sweating and ready to commit mutiny. They were thinking that I could continue to cook while they take a taxi to a nice cool hotel room, then showup for awards the next day.After 7:30pm everyone was so nice and happy go lucky, my wife and I almost forgot all that has happened until the next day when it was a blistering 115 degree with a feel like of 120degree with no shade. My point is that with good people like you we can endure almost anything. Thanks Bill.

My name is Bruce McClellan and approximately 4 years ago I ordered your Competition BBQ Secrets book and it has become my holy grail for making awesome BBQ for my family and friends. My wife and I now have enough confidence in our abilities thanks to you that in the spring we plan to compete in our first BBQ competition. My question for you is has your books content changed any since I bought my book if so please let me know so that I can determine if I need to order a new book. Sincerely yours. Bruce

Dear Mr Anderson:

Thank you, I received it yesterday and have already read it completely twice. I do have a question though. On the Pork Butt, how do you tell which muscle is the “Money Muscle”? I heard the term and did not know how to find it if their is such a thing. Thank you again for a wonderful book. Based on your suggestions I will definitely be making some positive changes.

Sincerely
Michael

Bill,

Congrats on your Dillard GC! That’s awesome.

We did OK with 6th overall at Racing for the BBQ in KC last weekend. 3rd in chicken and 7th in pork, but we thought ribs and brisket were better.

I need to go back and watch the H&F brisket video again to make sure I’m not missing something. We’ve been really good or really mediocre this year with brisket. Considering the strides we’ve made in chicken this year, I’ve not been happy with brisket overall.

Next up for us is Emporia KS, 8/20-21.
