Swine & Shine BBQ

Swine & Shine BBQ We are a family BBQ competition and catering team from Sugar Hill, GA. For years, they enjoyed the camaraderie of BBQing with their family.

Long before Swine & Shine BBQ became a full-scale competition and catering team, it was a lifelong hobby of Jim & Cindy Lloyd. Then, for Christmas of 2013, Jim & Cindy’s children gifted them the entry fee to their first BBQ competition in Brasstown Valley, GA. So, on a cool morning in January 2014, Swine & Shine BBQ was born! Since then, the team has grown and competes nationally in over 20 BBQ co

mpetitions each year. They also provide on-site catering and vending services, serving up their award-winning BBQ. Currently, the team is working on a branded line of sauces and rubs that they hope to release in 2017. On behalf of the entire Swine & Shine BBQ team, we are so thankful for all the years of support the community has shown us. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Swine & Shine BBQ!

Unbelievable weekend at Brasstown Valley Resort for the Winter Throwdown BBQ Comp. Although our scores in the competition didn’t show it, we felt Iike winners before ever lighting the smoker. Our WHOLE crew was together with several inches of snow, great food, lots of laughs, grandboys playing, and all of us appreciating family time in a beautiful setting. Congrats to Smoke Me Silly on a great cook and taking home the Grand!

Enjoyed cooking the 1st Smokin’ Bikefest in Peachtree City. Grateful to get 1st Place RIBS and 5th Place PORK for 3rd overall. We also won the Southern Q smoker raffle and had a great weekend with friends. Congrats to Angry Jack on Reserve & Smokin’ Sweetmeats on Reserve and everyone that heard their name called!

Well, Swine & Shine had a new experience today that I hope we don’t repeat. In the BBQ world, if you don’t turn your meat in to the judges within a certain amount of time it’s a disqualification and zero points toward the total score. We DQ’d brisket today and don’t have any excuse-we just weren’t paying attention. Luckily we did get a 4th place call in pork, which salvaged what could have been a miserable afternoon. (Jim also got pooped on by a bird during awards 🙄) Congrats to Under The Radar, Allen & Catherine Clem on GC and Smokin’ Suwanee Sweetmeats, Meg & Trey Terry on Reserve Grand.

One of the things we love most about competition BBQ is our weekend neighborhood or as some call it, our BBQ Family. On Thursday and Friday nights we all go out to eat together and there is much laughter, teasing, eating, drinking and catching up. Saturday we compete against each other, but after awards we each will congratulate, console or commiserate. This is a phenomenal group of people in these photos- good smokin’ luck to you all!

Pleased to get calls in all four categories, (special thanks to our Southern Q smoker) 10th Chicken, 8th ribs, 4th pork, 5th brisket for 5th overall.

Heading home from our first comp of 2018, Lakeland Pigfest, with a first cook on our new Southern Q smoker under our belt. It delivered as we knew it would with 3 calls and a 4th place overall finish. Thanks for allowing us to be part of the Southern Q fam and all of your help, Scott, Lynn & Christopher Smith! Congrats also to Midnight Burn on Grand, Shake & Bake on Reserve and Smokin’ Blue Q on Florida Award. Our row really racked up at awards!

The 2017 BBQ season ended on a high note at Smokin’ Up The Campground. We placed 1st in pork, 9th in ribs and 4th overall. Even though we were thrilled with the favorable outcome, we loved making memories with our great BBQ friends even more. Already looking forward to starting back the end of January at Pigfest in Lakeland, FL but until then we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year!
