I qualified and was invited to compete in the Florida BBQ Association’s Triple Crown Championship held in Perry Florida this past weekend. I was the last to arrive and got set up way back in the woods, a pretty good hike to turn in. All of the best teams in the FBA were there and the competition was stiff. When the awards were over and done with, I had a 1st place in chicken, a 1st place in ribs, and a 7th place in brisket which was good enough for Grand Champion! I was totally surprised and humbled. As GC I also won a new Jack’s Old South cooker which was very cool! Before I got back to my site I had a trade offer on the JOS that I couldn’t pass up. I am now the proud new owner of a Lang 48″ Hybrid Deluxe Patio Smoker!

Big congrats to my friend Terry of Git-R-Smoked for winning RGC, and all the others who heard their name called.

Thank you to my sponsors: 3 Eyz BBQ, Butcher BBQ, and BBQr’s Delight. These companies all have great products that help me produce the best barbecue I can, week after week.

I competed at the FBA “Fun Cook” in Clermont 8/31 – 9/2. I had been wanting to try some changes on each category and I decided this would be a good enough time. I apprehensively put into play these untested ideas and turned in my entries. I didn’t care for the chicken outcome at all, but thought the others were OK. Turn ins were Saturday but awards weren’t until Sunday. I had things to do at home, so I left Sunday before awards. A friend of mine was texting me during awards of how they were going.

Him:
No Chicken! Sorry…
…1st Ribs…
…1st Pork…
…Brisket 1st!!!! U 8!+)#!!…
…Swamp Boys GC with three first place calls!”

Pretty cool! Thanks to my sponsors: Butcher BBQ, 3 Eyz BBQ, and BBQR’s Delight. You guys help make it all happen!

PS: Still time to sign up for my Q School!

Three 1st places and Grand Champion!

I am happy to announce that there are seats available for my Swamp Boys Q School, which will be held Oct. 6-7 in Venice FL, on the beautiful Myakka River. The class will be at Rambler’s Rest RV Resort in Venice, beginning at 1pm Saturday and ending at approximately 2:30pm Sunday. A block of seats have already been reserved for the sponsors of the Venice FBA contest, so the remaining seats are very limited. This is the only planned class for the remainder of 2012.
