The Texas BBQ Forum

After a little run in with a gas pump a few months ago with our old Motorhome, we finally got a new one and is fully Cookoff ready. Got our rig totally how we want it and decided it was time to knock the dust off. We didn't think we were gonna win a GC because a team already had a 1st chicken, 1st rib. Turns out they didn't even final brisket. Our consistency paid off. We finished with 1st pintos, 9th dessert, 2nd chicken, 4th ribs, 3rd brisket. We pretty much kept to ourselves and I was speaking to the guy next to us, he said there were a few heavy hitters that passed on the pleasonton Cookoff since this one paid so well plus the Calcutta. Our pitmakers performed flawlessly. All I can say is that I should of tasted those 1st place boxes because whatever they turned in musta been the bomb diggity of BBQ, because that was some of our best ever turn ins! Here are a few pics from the event.

Yeah, a little trick I picked up from my BBQ mentor about a year ago.

Nice score there... How many teams were at that one??

Glad to see the new pit in full. Nice looking set up... I take it the disclosure agreement is up with all these new pics???

Yeah, they said that they understand that we are all in competition BBQ and there is no way to keep pictures of our pits off the net, just don't reference the show. 30 teams I was told

Good job!!

Thanks! Hey Stacy, my wife loves your rants on Facebook BTW

I figure my updates are more entertaining that way. Not too many people care if I'm going to work or grocery shopping. LOL

Yeah I get tired of seeing that crap also. I saw a girl take several selfies in the meat department of Heb last week. She posed and took it like 7 times. I was like really!!!!! No shame apparently

Better than home selfies, where they don't even bother to clean their house. Lol

The funniest one I saw was where you re posted that girl posted one of herself all dolled up, but she left her battery powered toy on the countertop lol.

I thought it was an electric toothbrush.

It doubled as both
... I saw a pretty good one that a girl took in the bathroom and apparently forgot to flush after she took care of business.

Congrats on the GC,
