To Judge Or Not To Judge

A couple of things that I believe are of top importance in the “professional barbecue competition Cook Off world” are Judging and Scoring. I feel this is most important at both, full two-day hard-core cook offs and the lighter one-day events. If someone has elected to take a barbecue judging class they should follow through with the commitment and plan to help the professional barbecue association that needs their help so badly.

Washington Spring Training 2009



Man, 3:00 AM sure comes around early! At 4:00 AM I picked up Dave and his new 22.5” WSM in Monroe then we headed south to the South Seattle Home Depot for a 6:00 AM meat inspection.

We arrived at 5:30 and it was just Bird Dog, Judge Jenny and her mom Chris in the parking lot.

Carolina Pepper All Purpose Sauce

I won a bottle of Carolina Pepper All Purpose Sauce from Blue’s BBQ, Inc. out of Concord, NC on the Barbecue Central Internet Radio Show a couple of weeks back. This past Sunday we tried it on a pork butt. I am not all the familiar with the “Carolina style” of sauces so I don’t have a lot to compare it to. I would say that I found nothing that I did not like about it. It was a very nice change from the… Continue

I am not going to make this report to long or to comprehensive there is a lot of good information by people with much more experience then I have. All I know is if I like something or not. I will add a couple links at the end of this with in-depth detail.



Today I am trying out the new 12 lb. Bag of Kingsford Competition Charcoal in my WSM with one 6.5# pork butt. At first glance it looks just like the charcoal from the Kingsford’s blue… Continue
