2009
Well, we are getting ready for this year and wanted to give a listing of the competitions we are looking to attend. We are
staying in Virginia this year since there are plenty of them to keep us busy and we seem to do better in "The Old Dominion".
We hope that you can join us or drop in at a competition. I promise we will let you sample some BBQ. Click on the Competition
titles to be taken to their websites.
Well the season has finally started.
We always love Danville and were excited to start the year. We usually compete in Bedford before Danville to warm-up, but Bedford
is in June this year. Two of the teams we were looking forward to seeing went down to Chesapeake to compete. We should
see them in Bedford!!! We had a great time with constant threats of rain on both days. However, we were prepared with
sides for the canopy. We figured out some ways to be more efficient and it helped us out a bunch, especially once we got a few
beers down. Michael fixed a rack of lamb with herb and balsamic glaze for the Anything Butt category. I know that is pretty
high class for us rednecks. He took 2nd with that recipe and it was some kinda good... We also cooked up some venison
tenderloin wrapped in bacon just for us and friends. See what your missing if you don't come to visit us. The other meats
fell in the middle of the pack. We received some really good scores, but everybody brings their A game at these contests.
Below are the results.

Bedford is such a pretty town. This BBQ event is put on by the town and it turned out to be a beautiful day.
This is a one day event for us and in the past years we would use this event to get ready for the bigger events. This year the
town decided to have it in June, which made it our second event. We sold a lot of our sauce and received great reviews from
the crowd, which showed in the Peoples' Choice Award. The other categories are winner takes all. We were really pleased
with the turn out and with all the RAVE reviews everybody gave our food and sauce. Below are the results.
