Back from a great weekend down at Fly-In Pig BBQ Competition Myrtle Creek, OR . Went down to help cook the judges Class. Then saturday prepared some delicious Jambalaya using Zenner's Sausage Company sausages. What a hit! Sampled out some sliced sausages along side carne asada street tacos.

The competition had a very windy rain stormy start but eventually cleared up! Pretty normal relaxed cook but managed to over cook my brisket unfortunately.

Well rested from a great weekend in Lynden washington. Weather was beautiful, mountains were out and everybody loved my sausage jambalaya!!! Sunday funday was a prolonged cook where no meats hit the cambro for resting. Luckily able to put out some good food to the judges. Brisket was a struggle, pulled 15 min before turn in. No rest. A little dry as expected.

Did a test run brisket today with the first cook on my new Smokin’ Iron Fabrication reverse flow. What better way to test its limits then stuffing it full. Passed the test with ease! Also ran a new rib recipe today on the rib drum. They were good but not good enough to change my current recipe. Glad I tried it here rather than spring fair. Made pit beans for first time. This recipe i used better than any baked beans I have ever made.
Yes i bought my brisket and ribs at H-E-B in dallas and flew them home Friday. 😂🤣

Next weekend. Test cook without it loaded down. Better simulate comp day.

The moment everyone's been waiting for?!?! Or maybe mostly me. Lol
I picked up my custom Smokin’ Iron Fabrication reverse flow flagship pit yesterday. Boy I could not be more excited to get this pit rollin. I have wanted one for awhile now and it turned out so good! Big thanks to Jason Hertz for bringing my thoughts to life. Even bigger thanks and shout-out to master pit builder Jeremiah Hertz for spending the extra time and effort grinding and customizing little bits and pieces that make my pit mine!! It looks absolutely phenomenal!!!

The fleet is complete and I am ready to hit this bbq season boots on the ground running!! (Hahaha me running... only when I'm about to miss turn in) Lets get this first burn in with some B&B Charcoal and represent SIF in style this season.
