Son's Backyard BBQ

09/19/2026

For the past year one of my sponsors has been Tennessee Cooking Wood. The owner and operator named Stephanie has been super supportive of my competition barbecue and backyard content that I have created. However, she has pulled back from the direct sponsorship of teams. However, I will continue to purchase her products and use them not only in my backyard, but in competition as well. You cannot source better smoking wood than you can with Tennessee cooking wood. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. My recommendation is Red Oak and wild cherry. A great combination that I have had much success with in the competition world.

Crazy but true. One thing I've learned in competition BBQ, your friends and family sugar coat their comments about your BBQ. You know it because you know what good BBQ taste like yourself. It's not always perfect, but when's the last time you got a bad review from family or friends. I'm not saying you make bad barbecue. I'm saying that we can't knock it out of the ballpark every time, but if we listen to our family and friends, we do. We know better.

I had a great time in Tipton Missouri! Even walked away with a little hardware and cash.

Great time out with friends and BBQ family at the Rib Cook Off Association Smoke on the Water comp in El Reno Oklahoma.

There was some stiff competition, and in the end when the dust cleared, the judges appeared to not be fond of my turn ins.

13th wings (my fault, I let them get too dark)

17th ribs (I used a new sauce, that apparently was not to their liking. They too, turned out a little too dark for my liking.)

This was my first time using my new stainless steel drum in competition, and although it ran great, I still have some tweaking to do.

It was awesome getting to see my friends walk, huge congratulations to all of them! 🫡

David Johnson huge shout out for your first place ribs, you are on fire! Thanks for the help with the wings. I did better because of it.

Richard Getchius , Chris Beggs gs , and Jeff Fletcher who all heard their name called!
