First competition
Had the opportunity to compete in a small IBCA event in my parents home town this past weekend. Had a great time, learned a lot, and got a walk for 3rd place brisket!

Thanks, nothing fancy, just S&P and a little paprika, 225 the whole cook, wrapped after 6 hours in paper, pulled after 11 hours and rested for 3.

Re: First competition
We talked with the head judge a lot and he shared a lot of info with us, main thing being you never know what the judges will like on a given day. We all thought our chicken was fantastic but we placed next to last, and the brisket that took first was very light in color with very little smoke ring

Congrats on the good job!
I am more and more convinced now that in most IBCA comps, taste is by far the most important thing, and tenderness and appearance much less!

Appearance is always a plus in my opinion because when the judge opens the box their first impression is hard to wipe from their memory. As far as tenderness the judges use a cheap knife and fork to cut the meat. If your product is tough they have to fight it and frustration will sometimes get you a low score.

I learned that in my LoneStar Association cookoff. I took the KCBS Cirt Judging class and all tasting is done with the hands and bites. For this event i was told that its all done with a knife and fork so everything should be EXTRA tender meaning a little overcooked for my liking. GO FIGURE.
CONGRATS on the walk.
