“ I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.”

This past weekend we made the short drive north to Gadsden, AL to Noccalula Falls Park and Campground for Smoke on the Falls. When I say nothing cooked the way I wanted it to I mean nothing, but God! All I could do was look into the hills for help and I received it by the time each box lid had closed! Villari Foods pork once again stole the show for us! As for the cook:
🐔-8th
🐷-6th
🐽-5th
🐮-8th
A 4 call day with a score of 705.856. Lost RGC to a coin flip. Congrats to all that heard their names called. Blue Smoke Q on the GC and Waylon Weatherford and Zips BBQ on the RGC! Next up, we head north again to the great state of Michigan this weekend.

to our 2nd 180 of the night at Jimmy Jam BBQ Slam & Car Show last year! Can’t wait to battle it out this year in a few weeks! Brisket was up and down for us throughout the year, but nevertheless we still ended up 3rd for brisket team of the year! I was honored this past season to try several different brands of briskets that many do not have the chance to. Couldn’t have done it without the help of : The Butcher Shoppe Costello's Butcher shop, Deli, fine wine and Cheeses Mister Brisket, Inc. Snake River Farms

On this episode of Not So comes from this past weekend. Learned a major lesson on never to freeze chicken for a month and cook it for a competition 😂. Do you like dry bad textured chicken? If so this was the chicken for you. Still don’t know how it scored a 170 🤫🤷🏾‍♂️

Last comp of the year took place this past weekend and man was it a blast! Decided to do something a little different and that was to cook a Prime brisket!
