We Are The Champions
It is official. For the Third Grateful Pig Gig, the Master Basters are the supreme champions, sweeping all four categories of Chicken thighs, pork spareribs, pulled pork butt, and beef brisket. The team was captained by Chef Andrew Evans, and included myself, Ian Ferguson (Andrew's sous chef), and Adam the Intern. I don't have any pictures yet, but they will be up. The judging was double-blinded, with each team having a different number for each event, so there was no telling by the judges if it was the same team from one event to the next.
I am exhausted now. I may not eat meat again until June.

I am so jealous of you, being a member of a BBQ team. I haven't found one in my immediate area, but I'm going to try to swing by the BBQ battle this weekend downtown and scope out any local teams that I could possibly join.
It was a lot of fun. Our captain's dream is to be invited to the Jack Daniel's invitational.
Just like Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice. Also, learn something about presentation, which is a third of the points.
I recommend the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, which if you order through the Virtual Weber Bullet community (via Amazon) is around $200.
