Smokin' is a Proud Dad --Congrats to Smokin' Jr.

Former Member

Well, when I get a few moments today, I'll write up a report, but I DID want to take a moment and share my son's success.

He placed 1st in the Backyard blind judging, out of 25 teams, beating 2nd by 9 pts.

Below you will see his entry in the backyard division of last weekend's ABA Cook-off in Brainerd. He did all of the work himself, from trimming and skinning the ribs to rub to creating his own finishing sauce.

I can't tell you how proud it made me as a Dad to see all the Pro's like DrBBQ and Jumpin'Jim and Fast Eddy and others come up to him and congratulate him. He's quite a young man and I hope he has more success in the future. All this did was make him more excited and ready for the next contest.

Congrats Kyle, you're Dad is very, very proud.

Enjoy his success with me.

Did these on the GenuSwine. We had SIGNIFICANT power problems on site and it caused me more than a little grief and a lot of scrambling...but that's another story.

Way to go, Kyle! (And proud Dad, too)

Cookshack sponsored Smokin' and Kyle at the cookoff and we are sure glad we did. They are both winners!

Greatness runs in the family. Congrats to all the Smokinses.

Those look like hefty ribs. Is that the camera angle, or just big pork? Or, am I crazy?

Nope, regular Farmland slabs that he trimmed down to St. Louis style. Slab was probably just under 3lb when trimmed.

Now, with his success, I'm letting him do the ribs in the family, since I only got 6th in ribs and he out pointed me

Smokin, I enjoyed meeting both you and Kyle. Congrats to him on a terrific job. Now, I still want to know how your golf game went.

Best wishes.

Good to meet you too DrB enjoyed the visit and good luck with the business.

Shot 3 or 4 over on the front 9 and I think it was 2 over on the back, I wasn't keeping the score card. Little out of practice and my putts were off (missed about 4 or 5 birdie putts), but a real pretty part of the country and a pretty course. Played with the Extreme Pork team, great bunch of guys.

Sounds like you are a much better golfer than I am. My view has always been that when I pay my greens fee, I will take all the shots I want, and I usually do.

hahahaha. Then I won't tell you how many Holes-in-Ones I have nor will I tell you about the Hole-in-One on a Par 4, 310 yard hole...

My theory of golf, go out have fun and the score is the score. I've played with lots of golfers with higher scores and we still have a great time...maybe it's the Adult Beverages we drink on the course, or we just plain have fun.
