Our third contest was
Smokin' Red Dirt BBQ in Enid, OK. This was the biggest contest we have been to so far with 66 teams competing in this
KCBS sanctioned contest. We were once again lucky enough to have
David Bouska and the
Butcher BBQ competition team as our neighbor on site. David has been a great help in getting Dr. Nordy's BBQ up and running and being competitive at these contests. David was one of the teachers of the
class I took in December, and he has been a great resource when questions arise on site at contests. (Thanks David!) For the record... Butcher BBQ finished 3rd in the country in the
KCBS Team of the Year in 2011 so he is my BBQ "E.F. Hutton"... when he talks... I listen. (if you have no idea what the EF Hutton reference is you either have lived in a cave your whole life or are too young to have experienced
some great commercials).
I forgot to take many pictures of this event... I'll try to do better next time.

You are doing great for a newbie :)I don't understand the chicken being low on the totem pole. Do you marinate? Or do you rely solely on wood chips for flavor at these competitions? Congratulations anyway and glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteChicken is brined. I knew this chicken was going to be bad... Didn't ever hit the tenderness I wanted... Will make some corrections and hopefully get it back on track.
