CMA BBQ Contest June 7-8

All,

OK - So , I'm going to finish talking about the CMA BBQ but I wanted to show proof.

Sam Davis Home BBQ contest June 14th and 15th

We will be competing in the Sam Davis Home BBQ contest this weekend in Smyrna, TN. We will be at our site around 1:00 on Sat until 4:00 on Sunday. We are really excited about competing again after placing at the CMT BBQ contest.

Some pictures from the CMT contest:

I have displayed all of our Boxes from the CMT BBQ contest. We didn't sauce any meats at this competition. We turned in all meats dry. We scored the best overall at this event but I think that is because we went back to the way I have been cooking all winter.

The Horse Trailer

So, I want to talk about our Horse Trailer. First my brother in law is upset that I haven't said anything about us using his horse trailer and Second it seems to be a joke on the BBQ circuit about our Horse trailer. So here is the story about the horse trailer.

I ask my brother in law ( Billy Estes) if he used the horse trailer alot. He said that the floor is out but is going to be replaced before I would need to borrow for Pulaski event. So, I went the week before the event to make sure I could hook up to the trailer. Things that jump out at me - Four horse trailer and lots of rust. I thought how in the heck'm I going to back the trailer. So, Once I hooked up to the trailer --my brother in law wouldn't let me take the trailer until I could show him that I could travel around town with the trailer attached. I was nervous but I had no problems.

On the BBQ circuit the trailer is already a Legend - They want us to change our name to the 4 horsemen. Whoa...........

CMT BBQ contest results

The Team had the very first call to the stage in the meat categories. We finished 7th in Pork and I will post more information in the next couple of days with pictures.

This was a very big deal for us.
