Congrats MaxQue!!

Congratulations MaxQue

Whew...long day today!

So it was a Memphis Barbecue Network whole hog contest in N. Haverhill, NH. Nine MBM teams and MaxQue as one of 7 "backyard" division team competing in a rib comp. We took 1st place with perfect scores (10) in the 4 MBN judging categories. It's been a good day

I'd like to give a call out to Coach, SmokinOkie, Ribdog and Tom for some inspiration, a few tips and tricks which pushed me over the finish line today. Hat's off to you gentlemen!

OUTSTANDING! Congrats!

Way to go MaxQue. Congratulations. I'm very happy for you.

Nice job MaxQue!

Max, thats great to hear. I know you had to work hard to achieve that. Those things don't come easy.
To you Maxque for your hard work, I am awarding you my 1st place "attaboy". Also from all of us on the forum that you are so good to help, we are giving you a "waytogo". Keep up the good work.

Congrats Max....!

FANTASTIC!! Congratulations Max!

Thanks all...much appreciated!

Your hooked now...CONGRATS!

Congrats!!!!!

Well done!

You make us backyard cookers proud.

To those of you who've considering a comp, I highly suggest you give one a try. I can't tell you how much fun they are. Yup, it takes some work, tight organizational skills and a game plan to pull off but your learning curve will escalate rapidly.

In my case, having a "backyard" contest within an hours drive was a perfect way to test the waters. You need to enter all categories for Grand Champ or Grand Reserve but you can enter ANY contest cooking one meat and take 1st place in that category.

Anyone who's got an itch to try, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Great job!

Now life gets even more expensive.

Congrats again, Chris! We are all happy to help in any way we can.

And as Tom points out, now life gets more expensive!

Tell me about it. Well at least the prize money covered our $200 EZ Up.

I hinted to Mrs Max that we'll definitely need our own (vs restaurant's) FEC100 for future contests. It was all I could do cooking four racks of S.L's on the Traeger Lil Tex.

That $200 prize money will end up costing me $50,000

LOL!...I'm well over $6000 on the way and haven't even done a contest,oh yeah, I don't even have a EZ Up. At least I won't have to travel far to find some contests, not that they will be easy...oh well!...ya say they give prize money?

WOOOOO HOOOO !!!!
Great job!

Yes... I told him it was expensive and there is no 12-step program for it

Congrats MaxQue!! Well deserved!!

Congratulation on the win and the perfect score! What a way to start out.
