I just got back from the Nelsonville Contest. We had a great time. Some very disturbing events were uncovered but I'll talk about that in another post. I don't want to distract from the actual accomplishments of the cooks themselves. Special congratulations to Big Mike who won two first place trophies in Chicken and in Pork. Mike you did the forum proud, congratulations again!
Also Congratulations to everyone that helped spread the word and correct the misinformation about the contest. Rolling Smoke's Jim Ferguson, it was my pleasure to assist you in this effort and hope to cook beside you again. Also thanks to Cockeye BBQ, to Big Mike for joining the contest at the end to help increase the team field and to ZBQ for helping me get my entries out and for test tasting my products and help select them for turn in.
We had a total of 17 teams most of them signing up in the final week in the contest. The weather was absolutely beautiful (I got sunburned at Nelsonville!
). I promise we will field a minimum of 25 teams next year but the goal is 50 and a triple point competition (more about that later). Again, congratulations to all forum members, I believe all forum members got at least 1 top ten call (forum members highlighted in bold) with Big Mike and Cockeye BBQ taking home 1st place trophies! For me the best part of the contest was seeing all my friends and getting to experience Nelsonville under idealic conditions. Thanks again guys!

Congratulation's to Erik's (Cockeye BBQ) wife's Stacey for her 1st place win with a pumpkin cheesecake served in side a molded chocolate cup, with graham cracker crust. Thanks Stacey for saving me a piece. It was wonderful!
It was also nice to meet the families of several forum members. New friends in the making for sure!
