The Sundrop event was our first of the year. We had a practice run just two week before the contest but at the end of the practice run it becomes a big party so sometimes you are not sure how you actually done. I thought we had actually produced during the practice run call out products. I switched our process just a little bit before attending the Sundrop by trying to use the green egg to cook the butts and brisket once wrapped. This didnt work so we will return to cooking on the Horizontal smokers. We also tried to cook the ribs one hour less which didnt work for the contest. I hope to have better results at the CMA event.
The Sundrop BBQ had great people involved in the event and were extremely helpful. I can't say how nice everyone was to us during our time at the event. This was also the first time my parents attended the BBQ events. They couldn't believe the rigs most of the Pro teams have for cooking. In this event even the Backyard group has some very nice rigs. The thing is if your cooking just cook all night and enter all meats instead of just doing chicken and ribs for the backyard event.
Other notable items - We got to meet the Ulika team and spend time with PSIP again.
This was one event were the Gentleman Jack seem to be flowing. I think Robert was using it to control his pain in his back. Not sure it was working by how much was being consumed. We also enjoyed talking with people who come by the our site asking questions. Also we used my brother-in laws horse trailer to carry all of our grills. This was great to have the trailer and made it much easier.

I'm leaving on vacation for the next week so I will be back on June 2nd getting ready for CMA's.
