First comp, 2010, Houston Livestock Rodeo & BBQ

Smokin',
I'm dissappointed in you. A little ice,snow, and cool weather has you migrating South. Now, us Newbies are not surprised that after PREPPING you this winter that someone would take a chance on your cooking skills.(ROTFL)

I would like to wish all our FEC members good luck in Houston. Please leave the stick burners yelling," pellets are CHEATING". We all know that if they would let the CS nation in with the electric smokers. They would understand what cheating was all about.


Good luck once again!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do they do four standard categories,or is it half chickens?

Good luck to you, Russ, and all of the team you are cooking with!

We know the skill will be there.

Ribdog must have meant pick a good/lucky judges table?

IBCA rules, 1/2 chickens, ribs and brisket only.

They're bringing me in for chicken and ribs (cause they know not to ask me to do brisket in comps)... LOL

I love the team name I'm cooking with DAMNIFINO

Yep,its a dandy.

Do they allow you to cook 2 categories? When I was there 3 years ago, you could only cook one category. Even if the team had 4 spaces. Just one head cook per space...

Good luck Smokin.

Still the rule Scottie, one cook per site. Don't know which I'm cooking, but I'll be an adviser to the other cooks, that's why we're practicing on Thur/Fri to see which recipes we're going for.

Don't know which and what we're doing. We have four entries, could be 2 chicken, 1 rib, 1 brisket or 2 chicken 2 rib or what.

We'll sort it out after we taste test.

Doesn't matter how many spaces, you will either turn in a 1/2 chicken, spare ribs or brisket. Your chicken, if that's what you turn in, will be judged against another entrants brisket which will be judged against another entrants ribs. IBCA, loosely, does sanction it.

Only way to get invite, is to be rich, a corp. and they have I understand long waiting lines to get invite, or win a Tx county "Go Texan" legit IBCA comp. Still you got to determine what you are going to turn in, a half chicken, spares or a brisket

I know we're doing at least one chicken, one rib. The other two are up in the air, won't decided that till Friday
