Being on the road this week has been great. We don't eat a lot of BBQ (just get sick of looking at it) but Scott whipped these up last night. The cole slaw was an interesting and fantastic touch.

Home

Headed to Missouri in a couple hours for a relatively small competition-- 1st time they're holding it. Friends of ours live near Florissant so we'll see them there, as well. I think we're looking forward to the Bloody Mary competition on Sat. morning more than the BBQ competition!

Gettin' Ready for Milk River Rendezvous Championship!!

Haven't posted in a few months. We wanted to wish one of our pitmasters, Glenn, the best of luck as he is moving to London at the end of the month- and he said he's starting a BBQ competition team over there so we wish him the best. ......So, it will just be down to the two of us handling things here. We didn't get to as many competitions in 2012 as we had hoped but we already have a lot on the schedule for 2013. We'll be along the East Coast for a good portion of the year before heading back this way. We wish everyone a great 2013.
