Winners from 2nd FE Class!

FireHouseBBQ took first place in chicken at Tryon with 82 teams there! And we took 13th place overall.

Will be cooking at Dillard the Aug 4-5.

I can't take credit yet (FE told me so) until I win a GC or RGC.

But in 7 contests, I have about 19 ribbons. 2 first, a couple of 2nd and lots more in the top 10.

Guess I didn't pick up enough help, although I have to say I'm getting beat by Paul in these contests.

Got two more this year, we'll wait and see.

Russ you ought to be proud, you have kicked butt (including mine ) especially for doing it iron man style

Hey, I only beat you by 5 points. I am proud, but FE has fun giving me a hard time because I don't have a GC yet.

Hey you mentioned "giving up" somewhere. You better not. Maybe we just need to team up and smoke together. You're RV seems like it would be a great place for a team hang out.

I see how you are, use a guy for his AC

Not giving up, just stepping back for a bit. I have gotten top 3 calls in eveyhting but BUTT, and IMNTBHO, you will never get to RGC or GC, without all 4 being decent. I know if I get top 3 calls in in 3 of the 4 I am in the running for it, but with my pork scores being consistently in the bottom 1/3 and I have tried a number of different things, I am just going to sit out a while and judge and perhaps lend my rib abilities to some other teams, and perhaps they will teach me their Butt techniques.

I am done competiting for the season, and my Jed and trailer are for sale (as is the trailer, I want an RV ) but I am keeping my FEC and recipies.

I have not stopped BBQing as rumors abound, I have just stopped competiting for now.

Hell, as a judge I get to see the same great folks and have the same great time.

Thanks

Christian

Donna,

FirehouseBBQ has now picked up a first in ribs at Dillard, GA this past weekend on the FE and fourth overall. It keeps getting better all the time.
