Ohio Open BBQ Championship
I'm finally going to do my first competition.
This will be a first year comp held in Dayton, Ohio July 13 & 14. Due to time restrictions, it is not going to be sanctioned this year but it will follow KCBS rules with one exception, you can cook on wood, charcoal, electric, or gas. If all goes well the comp will be held every year and be sanctioned by KCBS.

Alright, I know yall probably thought you had gotten rid of me, but no such luck.
I made it through my first competition. All in all, I was happy with the results. I hit all my turn in times and all the food was edible.
I ended up with two calls, chicken and pulled pork. Unfortunately, my brisket and ribs didn't fare as well and I'm not totally sure why. The brisket was tender and juicy, but I did not sauce or inject, so it just tasted like beef brisket. The ribs were probably slightly undercooked but they were still tender. Plus I was the only one turning in baby backs. Next time I'm using spares, gonna cook em till they are a bit more tender, and use a bit more sweet stuff on em and see what happens.
Like I said, it was a great experience and I am jumping into contest #2 next month over in Madison Indiana.
I also have to change my name because someone else competes in KCBS contests as Big Mikes BBQ. So I think I have finally decided on a new name. It is going to be
Eagle River BBQ
Has anyone heard of anyone else using this name. I've done a couple of different searches and couldn't find anything.

Mike, congrats on your calls.
I wouldn't change anything on the basis of 1 contest. I'd still do BBs and leave the spares for later. However, if you normally cook spares, you should have stayed with spares.
I've been pretty lucky with calls on my brisket. Do you foil your brisket? I do. When I'm ready to cut the brisket I open the foil and save the juices in a small pan. I heat the juice up and wisk in some butter to the juice. After I slice the brisket I dip it in the juice to coat it then put it in the box. If you don't foil I'd heat up some beef broth and wisk some butter into it and dip the slices. I think it gives the beef a slightly richer taste without injecting. Try it on a practice brisket and see how it tastes.
Good luck in Indiana! Where's #3 going to be?

BFD, I do foil my brisket and it sounds like our process is very similar except I've not used butter.
I am hesitant to change anything because it was not a sanctioned contest this year so the judges were officers of the American Legion that put on the competition. So I don't know how I would have done with real bbq judges.
Comp #3 I believe will be the state championship in Nelsonville, Ohio in October.
