2014 Comp season under way!

Post by Frank_Cox » April 13th, 2014, 3:10 pm

Team SmokerBuilder is off to an awesome start!!! MTF and Smokeone could not be there for the first one this season at Smokin' On Big Creek (a KCBS Sanctioned Contest) in Pleasant Hill, MO but TheCzar and I did really well! Wound up with 1st place chicken and 23rd overall out of 75 teams. I Gotta give a shout out toTrunkSlammer! He ran our chicken turn in to make it to the table with 10 seconds left to spare!!!! so no pics of the turn in box for chicken but I do have some of the practice chicken I cooked last Friday which was real close! here are a buncha pics of the season so far.

Congrats on the 1st place in the Clucker Class guys!!! :kewl:

I've always wondered how you operate a UDS …. thanks for the demo pic.

Hey DC - dock Frank a day's pay for not being in uniform in these pics. :rulz:

Our first comp is in 2 weeks … judging in North Platte the following weekend and we're all still cussing and discussing the rest of the season so far…. if we can just win that new car at this first one then the decision would be easier…. :D


And on the eighth day God created barbecue …. because he DOES love us and he wants us to be happy. :D

Thanks Gizmo!!! Good luck on your first comp of the year bro!!! :beer:
The UDS smokers seem to work best if you "Talk" to them first. I think that's how the 1st place chicken happened hahaha

I think Kool-aid chicken is a secret to winning

DC I don't think I even want to know what Kool-Aid chicken is…..

And Frank maybe that's my problem - maybe I should try talking to my cooker …. I mean instead of YELLING at it ….. :hissy:

I really like the look of the trailer. It will be nice to have all that room.

Congrats guys!!!

Shame you're not closer. I would've hooked you up with custom cabinets for the trailer. Looks good.


If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?
