Back home from KCBS Battle of the Blue Ridge. This was a first year contest and it was such a great event. All we can say is thank you and we look forward to next year! Your hospitality and hard work did not go unnoticed!
We ended up having
28th Chicken ( didn’t think it was that bad but totally owning it wasn’t a Top 10)
6th Place Two Drummers Butcher & BBQ Provisions Prairie Fresh Ribs
10th Place Pork
13th Place Snake River Farms Brisket
Good enough to bless us with a 10th Place Overall finish
As always thank you to Clark Crew BBQ for helping us do what we love
We will take a couple weeks off and gear up for Pigmaster's Challenge in September.
Congrats to Casual Smokers on Reserve, Fred Vegas Smokers Competition BBQ Team on Grand, and everyone else who heard their name called.
