What a perfect weather weekend to be up at one of our favorite competitions of the year. Smokin' In The Pines BBQ Festival Perry FL. While the rust felt very real this weekend, cook was really not smooth at all , just one of those days. However proud we recovered on some proteins made on the fly fixes that brought up the scores.

Must give credit to Florida BBQ Association reps and board members past and present ones, the new scoring system worked very well ! Score packets look great , feedback we got in comments were really well detailed. Inaugural run i would say a sucess !

Back to the cook , we were able to secure another top 5 finish for Keepin’ It Smokin’ Competition BBQ

Chicken 8th
Prairie Fresh Ribs 7th
Pork 10th
Snake River Farms 3rd Brisket

4th overall out of 34 teams

Wana say safe travels to all our BBQ family making the long drive to the American Royal World Series of Barbecue , hopefully next year we be back with yall ! Go get it ! Best of luck !

SC Festival of Discovery , what a year , great event as always staff here dose amazing work. This was our 3rd year, guess 3rd times a charm and we finally walked that stage in Ribs! This is one of our favorite contests, once you park never need to leave. Good restaurants, good atmosphere, great friends, cold beers 🍻 ,what more do you need?

We had a great weekend, our cook was ehhhh okay , few self inflicted hiccups but thats comp BBQ game for ya. Those slips kept us just outside the top 10.

Chicken 15th place
Prairie Fresh Ribs 5th place
Prairie fresh Pork 44th 😒
