The Georgia Barbecue Association (GBA) along with the Dooly Co Chamber of Commerce combined to bring a second professional BBQ competition to the Big Pig Jig site in Vienna. With 54 teams, Dilly Dally in Dooly became

the second largest contest field in GBA history. The contest drew teams from both GA & FL as well as Poor House BarB-Q, Pitmaster Dan Jameson, who made a 20 hour drive down to south GA from Caanan, New Hampshire.

Getting the last call of the day for Grand Champion Smokestack Lightning. The team topped the finals rounds with a score of 597.8 in Loin. It was the team’s first Grand Championship in 2017, only the second ever .Smokestack Lightening is a team made up of two “head cooks” Steve Holmes and Jeff Hayslip. When I contacted Steve about a story, this is what he had to say, “Originally for this contest, Steve was to be the head cook but some business situations kept me away so Jeff stepped in and cooked the contest. Jeff and his beautiful and talented daughter Hope were the individuals on stage in Vienna. They are two great people and I believe that they would be a wonderful interview.”

Holy Smokes, Gary & Dion Lanton

By Jim Sewell GBA Vice - President

Tifton, GA — The competition was tough and tight at Rhythm & Ribs on a beautiful first weekend in March. It was so close that it came down to a tie for the Grand Championship. Gary & Dionn Lanton of Holy Smokes won the Grand Championship in a tie with …THEMSELVES. The team’s winning Loin score of 597.5 exactly the same as their winning Rib score. Lang BBQ Smokers, Darryl Strickland, won the Pulled Pork category and was just 0.6 of a point off the Grand Championship scores.

DILLY DALLY IN DOOLY From Page 1

I knew there was something unique about this situation immediately as the team took the stage. The story I found out a tad about while they were on stage and the rest in this interview. The intriguing fact about this team, I could tell a lot centered around Jeff’s daughter, Hope. Hope is 14 years old and really loves cooking and being a part of competition BBQ. Jeff said, “I’ve been in competition BBQ for a while, but when your kids get involved it takes it to another level.” You see Hope had been working with her dad and the team over a while and has learned to help work the smokers, maintain the temperatures, and even help with flavor profiles and such. I was told that Hope and her 19 year old brother Daniel helped dad make up the glaze that took a perfect 600 score on loin at this contest. Jeff showed his full support and encouragement of Hope in the BBQ world and assured me he would love for her to “turn out to be the future of competition BBQ”. Jeff also wanted to make sure and mention the support and help they have received from teams such as the Pink Pork Pokers and Flint River Cookers. The time they have put into

helping Jeff and Hope and the entire team has really showed them the aspect of “BBQ Family.”

Taking the Reserve Grand Championship by making finals in Ribs along with 4th place in Loin & 8th place in Pulled Pork was Team Pork Rindz led by Pitmaster Scott McCormick.

The Loin competition was especially tough as all three finals teams recorded a perfect 600 score in the preliminary rounds.

Team Pork Rindz missed the finals round by just 0.3 of a point with a 599.7. Following Smokestack Lightning in Loin was Reallicious Q in second place and Hootie Q in third.

Tim Coleman & Real South BBQ won the Pulled Pork category followed by Budmeisters as runner-up. Hootie Q edged H and J Cooking Team on a tiebreaker for third in preliminaries to qualify for finals and finished 3rd in the final round.

Holy Smokes, Gary & Dionn Lanton, took top honors in Ribs. Bite My Butt BBQ scored a perfect 600 in the preliminary round and finished second in the finals. Team Pork Rindz rounded out the top three.

The contest held a Brisket ancillary competition. Captain Jack’s Freedom BBQ Team, Jack & Sandi Falin, walked for the

doing things during January and into February. Now, they are saying next week (Mid March) it is supposed to be in the 20’s. Are you kidding me? In Georgia. AND, to top it off with the snow that is supposed to hit the North East, and the fact it is going to be nearly 70-75 in Colorado the same week. It just seems a little backwards to me. Either way, I thought I was done with the Cold Weather Cooking.

We all know at a competition, you hardly eat. After you look at the food all night doing prep work and cooking it, it’s usually the last thing you want to eat and you still have turn ins to go. It’s usually Pizza or Mexican I crave the most after a day at a competition, and I seem to hear that to be a usual trend for a lot of competitors also. Either way, we all end up picking and eating pretty well just meat during the day then whatever that enemy may be that Saturday night; during the week its our job to stay healthy and get our body what nutrition it needs. The thing is, it’s always easier for me to eat healthy and do better during the summer. The vegetables are fresh, the weather is nice so I love to grill, a salad actually taste good on a hot day too. We tend to eat later during the summer which isn’t good but it just seems healthier food options I guess.

Enough with my dreaming about Summer being here already, I know it will be before I blink an eye or probably write another column. Here’s one more recipe that can work during a summer night that are easy to throw together or during those random cold spells when you just want something “warming”.

AUDREY’S SHEPARD’S PIE Now, I must admit, I didn’t use beef here.

We use a lot of venison and Andy went to Texas right before the wedding. I actually made this with Oryx, but you could really make it with Venison, Beef, Turkey or chopped chicken – whatever your ground meat preference is really. The meat just changes the taste a little.

2 lbs ground meat 1 medium onion 1 large can Veg-All 1 small can Veg – All 5 Baking Potatoes Butter Salt Pepper Minced Garlic Worcestershire Sauce Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cups Cook meat and onion, with season to

MARCH 2017

Shepard’s Pie your taste (I use salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce) Cook until browned.

While browning meat, Cook Potatoes in separate pot. Season Potatoes (salt, pepper, butter, minced garlic) When meat is browned, Add in Veg-All to the meat, mix all together and cook down a bit. When Potatoes are done, drain and mash with electric mixer or by hand with butte, sour cream, and a little milk until they meat the consistency you like. You do not want them to thin.

Put meat and veggie mix in bottom of pan. I use a large baking dish. Cover top of meat and Veggie Layer with Shredded Cheese. Keep a little to put on very top when serving. Layer Potatoes across top of meat and veggie mixture. I rake across the top of the potatoes to give them a little fluff look.

Place in oven on 375 degrees and let cook. Everything is done when it goes in the oven, so you are basically cooking to blend the ingredients, brown the top a tad, or wait until you are ready to eat. You are not going to cook it too long as long as the top doesn’t get over cooked.

After cooking a bit, I melt some butter

and wipe it over the top with a silicone brush to help brown the potatoes a tad.

When you dip onto place, or have plates set to serve, leave a bowl of shredded cheese there or add on top of pie once it is dipped on the plate. It taste good and helps it look pretty once dipped too. Everybody knows nothing like this looks pretty once it’s on a plate.

••• OK, I’m heading back to summer time, I hope you enjoy these. It’s been great to be back on the BBQ circuit these few weeks and I know the next few months are only going to be better. If I haven’t seen you in a while, I can’t wait to see you soon. I am working on my calendar for the year, if you have any ideas of contest I should really try and make this year, please shoot me an email.

Until Next Month, Keep rubbin those butts.

Brandt Haney

Pitmaster Backyard BBQ Studs As much as I enjoy a full country breakfast, buffet style lunch or sit down dinner I have to admit that I do have a bit of a soft spot for those weekend gatherings with neighbors where we all bring finger foods, sit around all evening just grazing and enjoying each other’s fellowship. Even on rainy weekends I find myself in a constant state of grazing which is no Bueno for my belt size.

I tend to think the biggest issue with grazing is the selection of foods with which I generally find myself surrounded. There is always the obligatory tray of meatballs, cocktail weenies, and nacho cheese dip at parties. All of which I love. Then you may have the tray of fried chicken nuggets, sausage cheese balls, dessert trays, not to mention the liquid refreshments to wash it all down with. At home it is salsa and chips, pizza bagels or just a big ol glass of cereal. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t have anything against any of these wonderful appetizers slash finger foods slash grazing favorites. As a matter of fact, I was looking forward to them when we were invited over to watch the Super Bowl with friends.

My issue was that I was in the middle of a weight loss competition at work. A dozen or so people had all chipped in to make the winning pot attractive enough to get me motivated. Up to this point I had been able to be fairly well disciplined and was making progress. I wanted to enjoy the event with everyone but needed a way to make sure I didn’t completely blow all the progress I had made. I was in need of something I could take that would be filling enough that I would not succumb to my grazing habit. It needed to be tasty and healthy but not rabbit food to-heck-with-this-diet-thing kind of healthy. I was willing to splurge a little but just not loose total control. So I started up the think tank and began noodling on

THE BBQ TIMES

an idea. I had been to previous parties where people had bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños and while the jalapeño was on the healthy side I was not so sure the several tablespoons of cheese in the middle along with the bacon would make the cut.

I had done jalapeño fries before and really enjoy the flavor and crunch of fresh jalapeños. I began thinking about chicken and thought maybe chicken kabobs, or grilled nuggets but that just seemed to dang plain. That’s sort of when it hit me, why not take the cheese out of the stuffed jalapeño and substitute the chicken in its place.

With a general plan in mind I went to the store and bought a dozen nice sized jalapeños and a pack of bacon. Back in the kitchen I pulled boneless chicken breasts that we had out and cut them into small strips that would be able to fit inside a Jalapeño half. Needing a little oomph to this dish I took my favorite BBQ rub and liberally coated the chicken and set it aside. I halved the Jalapeños and removed the seeds and ribs. I took the bacon and cut twelve strips in half. I proceeded to place the chicken in the jalapeños and carefully wrapped them with the bacon. To be completely honest I did not want to deprive the other guests of a fully tasty treat so I did put a small smear of cream cheese on most of the jalapeños prior to placing the chicken on them, and trying both it was clearly the way to go. All prepared it was off to the grill. I had prepared the grill for direct heat and had it up to 400 degrees. My goal was to crisp the bacon on both sides and hope that the chicken being small strips would be fully cooked at the same time. Placing all twenty-four jalapeños on the grill I closed the lid and waited four minutes, turned them all over and repeated the process. After eight total minutes I plucked one of the jalapeño chicken bites off the grill to test and what a delightful moment it was when I found that my plan had actually come together.

We gathered out things and proceeded to our Super Bowl event whey the bites were a unanimous hit and it was also unanimous that the extra calories in the cream cheese were also the preferred way to go. I ended

PAGE 5

up eating three of these and was able to for the most part stay away from all the empty fat filled calories offered elsewhere that evening. I guess there is a simple point to this story which is there are ways to cre-

ate lighter and somewhat healthier options if we really try. This one worked out well and I guess it wouldn’t hurt to see what else is out there. It may just be time to go exploring.

JALAPEÑO CHICKEN BITES 12 large jalapeños, halved and seeded 2 boneless chicken breasts cut in thin slices 3 Tablespoons favorite BBQ rub 4 Tablespoons cream cheese 12 strips of bacon cut in half.

Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Cut chicken into small strips and coat with BBQ rub and set aside. Halve and seed jalapeños. Take a small amount of cream cheese and just coat the inside of the jalapeños. Once all the jalapeños have been coated place a strip of chicken into each of the jalapeño halves. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a strip of bacon and set on a plate. Proceed to grill each side of the jalapeño chicken bites for 4 to 6 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is fully cooked.

Fixin’s from the Kitchen : Pork Chops & Indian Corn

Fixin’s from the Kitchen

but the Indian Corn is something I like to do when I like to have a little different “Flare” to the dinner. Pairing with some homemade corn bread or biscuits is perfect. Also you can add black beans to if you like, and a few red pepper flake I’m one of the lucky folks who have an indoor grill in my kitchen. That is perfect for me cooking for myself, I don’t have to be outside after dark or when it’s cold. I just love it. Even if you have to bare the cold to cook the pork chops, they are great. You can also bake them with the same ingredients if you really don’t want to grill.

This month I’ll share one of my favorites on an indoor cooking night. These are easy recipes. I enjoy making them both. The pork chops are great for company, they’ll think you really outdid yourself, but the secret is letting them marinade overnight and don’t overcook them.

Sometimes, it’s just nice to mix things up and have something a little different. These pork chops are a everyday go to for me,

Using the fat free dressing, you really cannot tell a difference in taste.

12 YEARS...

Jeff Petkevicius

Pitmaster Give it to God yokedup@gmail.com There are times in this life when everything stops and God’s glory is revealed to us in ways that are simply…. miraculous. This is a story of defeat, dis-honor, disappointment, redemption, forgiveness and victory.

Sitting in a friend’s office thirteen years ago, my eyes were opened to the reality of my complete and utter failure as a human being. The outside world didn’t see it that way, in fact, I was quite successful in the business world, had lots of money, property, stuff… but on the inside, at the core of what I followed and believed and worshiped, was myself. My happiness, my pleasure and my desires was all that mattered. My friend uttered these words that seared into my heart… “Jeff, you are going to hell…there’s no question about that, but the question is….how many people that you care about, that you love, will have their lives trashed by you?”

Like a ton of bricks, it hit me between the eyes and there was no running from it. I was one of the most effective salesmen you could imagine and I had no response. He was right. We prayed and I gave my life to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was born-again, a child of God and have not looked back.

Unfortunately, those lives that I trashed, the ones that meant so much to me couldn’t help but carry the deep scars of my doing. Both of my daughters bore the brunt of it. Brooke and I came back together shortly before her untimely death, but Paige and I re-

THE BBQ TIMES

mained apart, very far apart.

Paige, rightfully dis-owned me and wanted nothing to do with me, no contact what-so-ever. Years went by and her stance didn’t soften. Each and every day, I prayed for God to help our relationship heal and restore us. Nine years went by without contact. Having begun my Pro BBQ career and traveling around the country sharing Jesus, and the Thank You Fairy, God put on my heart to make a trip out to California. It was a risk, but I wanted to make the trip to apologize to Paige.

I sent off an email, and she agreed to meet with me.

My sole purpose on the morning we met was to apologize to Paige for not being the Dad she deserved to have. To apologize for the pain I had caused. No excuses, no explanations, just an apology.

THAT is what Paige needed to hear and she forgave me. She didn’t just jump right in and trust what I was saying to be real, but her heart was wide open to giving me a shot.

Following our re-connection, we stayed in touch, visited a couple times and just worked on getting to know each other as adults. I always sensed a bit of awkwardness when Paige attempted to address me because she didn’t know what to call me… and Dad wasn’t on the radar screen….yet. God continued to heal her heart and as the years have gone by, Paige grew to realize that Jeff is not the man he used to be, but he really has changed.

This past February, I received the most treasured expression of love, a birthday card and note from Paige: Dad – I just wanted to write you a note to say how truly grateful I am to have you back in my life. I value you and our relationship. You enrich my life so thank you for that. Life is crazy and at the end of the day, we are all just people doing the best we can. Sometimes it’s hard as a daughter to see your parents as “actual people” with struggles of their own. You had your own demos to battle in your life and I understand that more & more as I get older. I love you and I truly forgive you. Thank you for being authentically you. You are an amazing human being with a kind heart. – Paige.

As I cry again, writing this…. I share it with you to know that God will hon-

Each and every day, I prayed for God to help our relationship heal and restore us.

or your prayers in His perfect timing. You know exactly what is worth holding onto in your life and sometimes it’s a struggle to understand how things get to where they are… but God sees it all as well. He cares for all of us and will make a way for you to do the things you need to do, to get on the path that is Victory in your life. Relationships matter. Saying Thank You and I’m Sorry are the

most powerful relationship tools we have.

There’s no allotment on how many times you can use them.

Give your whole heart to God… He’s the answer you need, the provider of your dreams, the healer of your heart. What are you waiting for?

Sweet Smoke Q It’s already the first of March and it seems like we just started 2017, I guess the old saying “time flies when you’re having fun”. I think in my case “time flies when your busy”. I wouldn’t have it any other way, but a few days off would be kind of nice. It’s been a busy February in the sunshine state, the FBA has had 3 contests in 4 weeks. First of the month we had Winter Haven’s Smoke on the Water, this contest has been a contest not to miss.

The proceeds go directly to 3 area Boys and Girls clubs, if it wasn’t for this contest, probably 2 of the 3 clubs wouldn’t have enough funding to keep the doors

open. The weather was perfect and the crowds were plentiful so I hope they raised plenty of money to keep the clubs afloat for another year. The second contest was Apopka, I believe this was the largest FBA contest to date with 130 teams. This contest draws a lot of teams for various reasons, $10,000 to the grand champion doesn’t hurt either. Chuck Carnesale and his whole crew does a fantastic job on putting on a great contest. I know how much time and dedication it takes to organize a contest and a contest that size takes a lot of time and volunteers to make it all work.

These guys do whatever it takes to accommodate this many teams and judges. My (red) hat’s off to another wonderful event in Apopka. This past weekend we had Ribs on the Ridge in Haines City. Lora Donley, a new organizer for them did an outstanding job with the help from her staff. Again, the weather was good and the crowds came out to support them. As a cook team, we always like unique and different types of trophies, and they provided some fine-looking ones.

Looking to March with a few contests, first is Eagle Lake this weekend and Kissimmee mid-month. These contests have been good ones in the past and I’m sure they’ll continue to be great contests.

A little barbecue now and then isn’t a bad thing…
