We made the long trip to the Smoke-N-Wings contest in Blackfoot, ID. What an amazing experience!! We were able to cook next to big brother who was instrumental in starting me down this treacherous midlife crisis. We were able to hang out with many friends, old and new.
Steve and Stacey McClellan put on an amazing competition! Their hospitality and amazing swag are unmatched. Thank you my friend.
Congrats to for another amazing cook with the GC and congrats to for RGC. Special congrats goes out to on their 1st place brisket. It was awesome to see such an honest amount of joy after putting in the hard work.
We had a pretty good cook overall. I was hesitant to feel good about it because I knew that I had missed a step on my ribs and wrapped them too soon. I wasn’t wrong in that ribs was my lowest category. The rest were pretty good.
There were 31 teams and we were:
4th in 🐓 ( & )
18th in 🩻 (I will work on that)
6th in 🐖 ( & on )
8th in 🐄 ( & on )
5th overall with a 702.8804. I knew my cook was good but was not expecting that.
I am humbled to have performed so well in such a distinguished list of competitors.
Oh, I heard there are 27 teams competing in Dillon, MT so now that will be a qualifier. Good luck.
