Gallatin was a blast! Although a bit nippy on Friday night. Anyhoo our 2nd competition taught us a lot. #1 Dont forget your drip pan.#2 Dont use a foil pan as a drip pan.#3 Go back home and get the drip pan, its only a 20 minute drive!#4 pay attention when the BBQ Guru is beeping, it's trying to tell you something.#5 Don't forget the fire extinguisher.#6 Closing the door & dampers will put a grease fire out.#7 When you burn your chicken, cook some more.#8 Bipolar Smoker is a Frickin Lunitic!32 Teams, we finished 15th.

2006 Fiddlin, Brewin, & BBQin Contest
My cookin partner Jeff & I decided to enter our 1st contest. Our expetations were low. It would be ok if we finished last as long as we got some experience. We set out to cook brisket & ribs. We were advised at check in that everyone turns in all 4 meats. So we called some friends and asked them to bring us some chicken and a couple of port butts. Hell, at least we will get some points even if we had never cooked chicken or butts. There were 85 teams entered and we finished 54th. Not bad for a couple of newbys. We had a great time, met some nice peeps, and got some 'sperience. Cant wait till the next one! Here are some pics of out turn in boxes.
