BBQ is something to I like to think most everyone has had in their life since they were children. It’s that whole in the wall diner in your hometown that served the best pork sandwich you could ever imagine. It’s the meal you eat on 4th of July, or birthday parties or really

any type of large gathering whether it is with your friends or family. It becomes a tradition and even a passion for some. BBQ is just a mutual love we all have. Have you ever sat back and looked or thought about how BBQ has grown and evolved over time? Even in your lifetime. I know for myself it wasn’t something that I really thought I would end up doing to make a living, or as a job. But then again I guess I never thought of combining it with a newspaper until my father had the idea when he began competing in 2008. Backyard BBQ is something that we all love. Yes, even those who have the big fancy rigs or those you might consider “pros” because they compete. We all cook at home. It’s the time

you can try new recipes, show off to your family and friends or just cook some good food for dinner that night. We have a new column starting this month that is based on Backyard BBQ. I found a blog not to long ago called, “Backyard BBQ Studs” and contacted Brandt Haney who is the writer. I told him this was one area that I wanted to expand The BBQ Times a little and asked him to join us. So please feel free to give Brandt or myself any feedback. I think this is something we can all enjoy and something for those BBQ enthusiasts out there who haven’t ventured into the competition world just yet. Competition BBQ is a world of it’s own. It is a world that has been out there for years. But, have you noticed

the growth in the last ﬁve to ten years? It has become a phenomenon. Everywhere you go there is a BBQ competition. It is how I relate to towns in most instances. It is no longer an issue of ﬁnding a BBQ Competition to go compete in, it’s deciding which competition you want to go to that weekend. The public has began attending events more and more and the competition sites are getting bigger and bigger because of the number of cook teams and attendees. We all love competition, it was embedded into our brains from the ground up. Baseball, Softball, Racing, Football, Cheerleading, Soccer....it all boils down to who was the best that day. BBQ is the exact same way you are just relying on judges to tell you who is the best.

So what is it about Competition BBQ that is so appealing to the public like all of these other sports? I like to believe it is the camaraderie that comes along with Competition BBQ, the absolutely welcoming fun, family-friendly atmosphere. No matter what direction you look at a competition, there is always one team talking to another, or helping another. They want their friends (who are also competing against them) to try their food and let them know their thoughts. It is truly friendly competition. Teams are happy for other teams to win. Of course that has its downfalls that they did not win, but they are happy to see their friends do well also, they don’t hold it against them. I challenge you to take a

look around at the next competition. Think about where you started in BBQ, how you started. Then reflect on where you are now, and how you have gotten here. Is there that one person who has helped you get where you wanted to be in Competition BBQ? Take the time to tell them Thank You or to become that person yourself and help someone else who’s just starting out. You never know what you might find, if you slow down and take a look around. I have been truly amazed at the high standards of morals and values that I continue to find in the world of BBQ and like to call myself BLESSED for finding such a wonderful field to work in with such great people. Until next month....Keep rubbin’ those butts!

nessee to cook at the Sams Club regional ﬁnals and have sure enjoyed the cool weather we were greeted with. It got down in the low 50s last night and is a cool breezy 78 with the same forecast for tomorrow. This could be perfect bbq weather. These type of contests are fun to do because they are a little change of pace for us FBA teams. KCBS turn ins are every 1/2 hour instead of every 1 hour and we get to play with lettuce and parsley garnishes instead of just meat in the box. This is

the semiﬁnals of the Sams championship series and has 30 teams competing for the top 10 spots to move on to the championship round in Bentonville Arkansas. There are teams here from all over including 4 Florida teams, Big Papas Country Kitchen, Swamp Boys, Blitzkrieg and Hot Wachulas. It is a funny feeling contest because if you do place in the top ten you probably won a little money and the right to move on to the ﬁnal round which gives you a chance to win some big money. It also means us teams from Florida have a long ride and a lot of diesel fuel to buy. This is actually a contest that if you bomb and don’t place in the top 10 it is not as disappointing because it is almost a relief that we don’t have to make that 2600 mile round trip! Troy Black put this whole Sams club program together and has made this a real big time event. Troy just came out with a cook book that I

picked up a copy of and it is deﬁnitely one you want in your collection. We recently went to the Fun Cook and had a real good time. Brian with Bull Rush BBQ won his ﬁrst Grand Championship and it was well deserved. Bull Rush BBQ keeps getting better and better at each event and he was due to win. He is another team that has a chance to win wherever he goes. We had a Battle at BBQ junction at the Fun Cook and several talented teams competed. Seaplane City BBQ, Chowin Down the Q, Spankys and Lazy Hazy Crazy Boys competed and Chowin Down The Q went home with the championship. The food these guys put out was awesome and the scores were close. The deserts these teams have come up with have been awesome. Jarrod Hatcher put in some serious effort organizing the Lakeland Kids Pack contest and it went off ex-

tremely well. The Kids Pack is a group of people that put together backpacks of food for kids that are in situations where they need food on the weekend. It is hard to believe in todays time we have kids that don’t have food to eat. These bbq teams – led by Swamp Boys – gathered around one thousand three hundred cans of ravioli to give to the program and that was just awesome. We plan to give Rub a run at the championship by collecting more cans then him next year. What a great program! Rub even cooked in the Battle at BBQ junction and proved he can cook anything but meatloaf by beating out several great teams for the championship. Big Tymers BBQ cooked the battle, vended and still pulled off the Grand Championsip of the contest! This is a great bunch of guys and put on a good show in the battle and are just another great team from Imperial Polk County and another

team that has a chance to win whenever they show up. We have had eight winners of the Battle at BBQ Junction and are now going into a playoff round to determine the overall champion for the year. Our ﬁnal eight includes BK Cookers, Divine Swine, Blitzkrieg bbq, Florida Boys, Swamp Boys, Barn Goddess, Chowin Down the Q and BGE Pit Crew. It has been amazing to watch all these teams in action and seeing the amazing food they have created. The PG 500 pellet cooker, the Big Green Egg and the Meadow Creek charcoal cooker have been awesome cookers and the dutch ovens have been a lot of fun to cook on. I am working on a schedule for the ﬁnals that works for everyone and will announce the upcoming contests and dates soon. Thank you to all the teams that have taken the time

In order to keep the faith, you must give it to God

Jeff Petkevicius Pitmaster Give it To God yokedup@gmail.com Tuesday, Sept 3, 2013: This morning marks the ﬁrst day of my un-employment in the eyes of the world.... and my full-time enlistment as a worker for Jesus. For the most part, the morning was the same, reading the word, a work out at 4 AM, a breakfast shake, shower and nap on the couch until Caroline was ready to go... then it was to the table for prayer and communion.. Got the coffee ready as usu-

al and walked out the door, only this time, I loaded up Caroline in the driver’s seat, opened the gate, gave her a kiss and blocked trafﬁc so she could motor down the road... For the last eight years, I was in the truck, driving to work, delivering salt, hanging with my baby... There I stood, waving good-bye for an extended period of time with sadness in my heart and a tear in my eye, that things have changed. God has a new path for us, of which, I don’t see it, which is HIS point... it’s called, “Faith”. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [Hbr 11:1 NKJV] And Faith, is exactly what I have in huge proportions. God knew all of this would come to pass, He knew the script and watches it unfold. This past weekend, I was blessed to cook in the Bedford TX (Dallas area) Blues and BBQ contest. There

were 89 teams, most of which were from Texas and Oklahoma. I was the sole team from Louisiana. God made the arrangements for a young man named Stephen, who found me on facebook ,to spend the weekend with me experiencing Pro BBQ, as he is wanting to start his own team. Hanging with Stephen, who loves Jesus was just the beginning of a weekend where God confirmed, reconfirmed and confirmed again His desire for me to serve Him without hesitation, reservation or restraint moving forward. I met face-to-face with my brother Mike who we share mornings together on facebook’s page, Pro BBQers serving Jesus where he lists a scripture and I post it. Mike and I were able to bond as only brothers in Christ can bond. During the weekend, cook’s church was fantastic, I met Dennis and his wife with a team called Holy Smoke, out there just getting started on the com-

Florida Barbecue Association President’s Message August 2013

Tony Wolfe, FBA President

The FBA is growing bigger and bigger. This is fantastic but it comes with growing pains. Some are easily fixed and some will take more time and effort. First, organizers are anxious about the number of teams signing up for events. It is difficult for organizers to gain support from sponsors when it looks like numbers will be low. I understand needing to juggle to pay entry fees, but PLEASE at least contact the organizers of the events you plan to attend so they can get an idea of the size of their events. This will help with sponsors and judges alike. In addition, some events have limited space and if you wait to the last minute, you may be left in the cold. Organizers, due to the growing number of contests wanting to sanction with the FBA, we will need to implement some changes in the sanctioning process. These changes will go into affect on January 1st. Please keep in close contact with the Board about your contests. It is becoming very rare to find an open weekend on the calendar and the fluctuating calendar is causing us to lose some weekends next year. July and August saw some great con-

tests. Once again, Damon Wooley put on a great contest in Live Oak, Florida. He had to move the contest and only had 4 weeks to relocate and work out logistics, but you could barely tell! Judges had a tough time judging inside the air-conditioned gym. It was the ﬁrst time I saw judges putting on jackets because it was cold in July! But somehow they got the job done. All kidding aside, the site was wonderful and Damon and his crew worked very hard to accommodate all the teams. We had a new contest in Bainbridge, Georgia this year. I was not able to attend but have heard how beautiful it was and how hard the organizers worked. It was hot but a contest well worth attending. Maybe next year I will be able to make the trip. The BBQ world has lost some treasured friends lately. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of Noel Davis (one of our Representatives) and Mike Byrd (Kick the Tire, Light the Fire cook team member) who recently passed away. I look forward to seeing you out there on the circuit - whether you cook, judge, or just visit. Be sure to stop by and say hi!

petition BBQ circuit with the same focus of shining the light of Jesus. I spent time with others who came to my trailer and just wanted to share testimony, pray and openly talk about our Jesus. In addition, God has always used birds to “punctuate” when He wants me to know what His will is in a particular situation for my life. At pivotal moments, there has always been a bird

chirping, sitting, or quacking at the perfect moment that is un-mistakable to me. As one brother was sharing his testimony at my trailer, a ﬂock of geese buzzed us. I hadn’t seen ANY geese ﬂying anywhere close until that moment... and THAT put an exclamation point on what God wants for me. He wants my full attention, and my full availability to move, visit, preach, share, BBQ

and shine His light. Am I nervous? Yeah, a little, but every time I feel a little tweak of nerves, I head out to my driveway and stare at my trailer.... Give it to God... any questions? 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose. - Rom 8:28 NKJV

of The BBQ Times. I would also like to thank Audrey Evans for the opportunity to write this article in her paper. I am looking forward to the next two years as I serve as President of the GBA. As I stated in the August issue of The BBQ Times I want to continue to grow the GBA. One of my goals was to hold a Team of the Year Banquet at the end of our cook season to recognize the teams and to also recognize our Judges. The Board of Directors has already approved the holding of the TOY Banquet 23 August 2014 in Macon GA. I feel that the banquet will give an opportunity for the members of the GBA to come together enjoy a dinner, socialize and enjoy the awards. We have already begun our new 2013 -2014 cook year. Our ﬁrst

contest of the year was the Hambone Jam which is held in Fort Valley GA. Fort Valley is where the GBA started. The Team of the Year Awards was held at the Hambone Jam on Friday night. At the TOY awards we recognized our past presidents. This past year the Board of Directors named the TOY award after its ﬁrst President the A K Seville Award. Bubba Grills was the winner of the 2012/2013 TOY. This cook season will see new contest and more growth with contest in new areas. Our next contest will be at the Sumner Egg festival in Sumner GA. I would like to thank everyone that supported me in running for President and ask for your continued support.

Barbecue Chicken with Fresh Mango Salsa In order to get more surface area for the BBQ sauce, I like to butterﬂy my chicken. To do this, simply make a deep cut across the breast, parallel to your cutting board. Cut it almost all the way through, but not quite in half. Then open the pieces up like a book or butterﬂy and press down on the

“seam” with your hands so that it lays ﬂat. Butterﬂying your chicken also means that you get a nice thin piece that will cook up very quickly.

2 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterﬂied 4-6 Tbs Grillin’ Magic Sweet Heat BBQ sauce 1 mango, cut into cubes 2 Tbs chopped red onion 1 jalapeno pepper, minced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Juice from 1 lime Heat a grill or grill pan

to high. Brush the chicken with about half of the barbecue sauce, coating both sides. Set aside while the grill heats up. Grill the chicken until it’s cooked through — about 5 to 10 minutes on each side. While it’s cooking, baste with the remaining BBQ sauce. Remove from the pan and let rest under a piece of foil or a pot lid for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving. Make the salsa by combining the mango, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice. Serve the salsa over the chicken and enjoy! Submitted by David Shackett

Deviled Eggs “Guacamole Style” 12 large eggs 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup minced red onion 1 Large ripe avocado pitted and finely diced 1 small garlic clove Juice o one lime 1 finely diced Serrano pepper Salt and Pepper to taste Two finely sliced scallions Put eggs in saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, turn heat off, cover and let sit 10 minutes. Drain. Rinse and

peel under cold water. Add sour cream, avocado, garlic,a nd lime juice to large bowl. Slice eggs in half and remove yolks. Add yolks to mixture. Mash together until smooth enough to pipe from a large plastic freezer bag. Taste for seasoning. Pipe the mixture back into the halved whites. Top with ﬁnely sliced scallions. Damn!

Manly Party Meatballs 1 Jar Bama Grape Jelly 2 Packets Au Jus 3 Cups of Water 2 Bags of Frozen Meatballs

First off, trust me when I say frozen meatballs. We call all make homemade meatballs, but it just doesn’t work as good in something like this. TRUST ME! In a large crock pot, mix up both Au Jus packets with 3 cups of water. Then slowly mix in grape jelly. You must have the crock pot on high when doing this. Or use a pot on the stove but be careful not to scortch. When jelly and au jus is mixed and heated put meatballs into the pot. Let cook one hour on high, once it reaches good temperature move it to low and serve from pot. Submitted by Audrey Evans

Score a Tailgate Touchdown this Season!

“Famous Dave” Anderson Columist

It’s that time of year when the “Weekend BBQ Warriors” unleash their skills in pop-up tents across America honoring their favorite team. I’m talking about tailgating season. You don’t want to be the tent with plain ﬂavorless barbecue, score a touchdown at your next tailgate... These bacon-wrapped, whiskey-soaked, maraschino cherries and smoked hot Italian sausage explode with ﬂavor and grilling makes them the perfect tailgating

appetizer! Soaking the cherries in a bourbon for a good week gives them the perfect ﬂavor punch. The cooking process dissipates the alcohol, but the ﬂavor stays and fuses perfectly with the cherries, bacon, and smoky sausage. I like serving these lil’ tasties with my Blackberry BBQ Sauce. These Smokin’ Cherry Bombs will go fast, so have plenty on hand! GO BEARS!

Blackberry BBQ Sauce

Smokin’ Cherry Bombs Delightfully serves a party of 6! 1 jar maraschino cherries 1 cup Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey 1 lb. hot Italian sausages 1 lb. hickory smoked bacon wire mesh or grilling basket for grill Drain the juice from the maraschino cherries container. Fill with Jack

“Famous Dave” Andersonʼs Smokinʼ Cherry Bombs Daniel’s; soak for at least 3 days. Prepare your grill. Pargrill Italian sausages so they are not entirely raw; they will ﬁnish cooking when wrapped with bacon on the grill. Depending on the size of your bacon, cut bacon strips into thirds or

halves. Cut sausages into 1/2-inch slices. Assemble your cherry bombs. Take a sausage slice, place a cherry on top, then wrap with bacon, and use a toothpick to secure. Place Cherry Bombs on a wire mesh and place on grill. Grill until the bacon

is crisp. As the Cherry Bombs cook, fat will fall into the grill and may cause flare-ups. You don’t want your appetizers catching on fire, so having them on a wire mesh makes it easy to lift them off the grill quickly so you can douse the flames.

1/2 cup apple juice concentrate 1/4 cup blue agave honey 2 pints blackberries 10 oz. Dickinson’s Seedless Black Raspberry Preserves 20 oz. bottle Famous Dave’s Sweet & Zesty BBQ Sauce In a saucepan, mix apple juice concentrate with blue agave honey and heat. Once the juice bubbles, add the blackberries. Simmer over medium heat until blackberries start to dissolve and mixture thickens to the consistency of a heavy syrup. Add Dickenson’s Black Raspberry Seedless Preserves and Famous Dave’s Sweet & Zesty BBQ Sauce to the pan. Bring to a simmer and remove pan from heat.

Friday Night Lights and Smoky Goodness

By Brandt Haney Backyard BBQ Studs

Now that we are firmly into the time of year that sees Friday night lights, college game day and NFL Sunday, I find it very difficult to set aside enough time to do a nice butt or brisket justice on the smoker. Who has 12 to 16 hours to prepare for tailgating? Even so, I can’t let a good game go by without some sort of smoked flavored delight. Heck, if we get together with friends

they pretty much expect me to bring something off the smoker or grill. Smoking large pieces of meat take special attention and long amounts of time, so in true backyard bbq stud style I like to look to the smaller things I can put a smoky twist on, and do it on a regular grill or small smoker. I prefer charcoal for these types of items because of the ﬂavoring I am trying to impart on the meat in a short amount of time and direct or diffused heat

What Is SCBA and What Can You Do? ByMike Osteen

What does SCBA stand for? It is the South Carolina Barbeque Association made up of great people who want to have fun and enjoy life. How do you enjoy life you ask? How about eating good food and having fellowship with good people all over South Carolina at cooking events. You see, South Carolina has a history of great barbeque. This barbeque is broken down into sauces used for basting and also as a ﬁnish sauce. These four are: Vinegar & Pepper, Mustard, Light Tomato, and Heavy Tomato. Now what you can do is become a certiﬁed barbeque judge and eat some of the best barbeque in the world in South Carolina. When I retired I wanted to do some-

thing fun and the SCBA is one thing I came across. You start out by joining the SCBA and attend a daylong seminar. Then the fun starts as a novice which you attend cooking events. It takes 4 cooking events as a novice where you work with a Senior Judge and learn how to score. Then you become certiﬁed and receive an apron with “SCBA Certiﬁed Judge” on it. To become master and senior level judges you must judge 15 to 30 events and cook with one to two competition teams to make the master and senior level. All events must be SCBA sanctioned barbeque events. If you have an interest in joining the SCBA please go to our web site and check out the “Join Us” page.

works best. Today there are two great smoked munchies that I would like you consider when you have your next football party or are looking for proper tailgating foods. First there are the classic chicken wings. One of my favorite ways to prepare them is to make them sticky with a little bit of sweet heat. First you need to prepare three to four pounds of wings. I have used both fresh and frozen for this and it does not seem to make a large difference, but you will need the frozen ones to thaw fully before using them. In a mixing bowl you will want to mix 1 Tbsp paprika, 1 Tbsp Kosher salt, 4 Tbsp granulated garlic, 1⁄2 Tbsp black pepper, 1⁄2 Tbsp onion powder, 1⁄2 Tbsp dried oregano, 1⁄2 Tbsp dried thyme, and 1⁄2 tsp white pepper. Toss the wings until well coated and set aside while you ﬁre up the grill to 250 degrees. This is where a little grill prep helps. I will use a chimney started to get the charcoal going and then preheat the grill in order to avoid starter ﬂuid aftertaste. As the grill is preheating go ahead and get 8 to 10

chunks of hickory or oak wood soaking in water. I use chunks and not chips because the chips will burn out fast and will not smoke through the entire process. I have tried putting chips in tin foil and smoke boxes but I never really get the full impact of ﬂavor I get with chunks. My belief is that if you want to have real smoke ﬂavor you need to go bold or go home. I have actually found a source of hickory and oak from a friend that harvests fallen trees and uses them for making cabinet grade boards. I give him bbq and he gives me wood to use. That my friends is a win-win. Once the grill is holding its temperature you can toss on the wood chunks then grab the wings and put them on to cook. Cover the grill with a lid to retain the smoke and make sure the temperature does not spike. Turn them every 45 minutes and continue to cook the internal temperature is 165 degrees. In general this will take 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Not wanting to waste time on game day, go ahead and preheat the oven to 425 degrees while the wings are in

Easy to See Orange Handle In Flat of Round

their final 15 minutes. Mix together 1 cup of your favorite hot sauce, 1⁄2 cup honey and 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar. Check the wings and when done toss them in the sauce to coat well, place on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes. This will create a wonderful sticky glaze from the sauce and crispy up the skin a bit. Let the wings cool a bit and serve. Don’t be surprised if you find fried wings are no longer your favorite wings. I know what you’re thinking. That sure is a lot of charcoal and wood to use for a couple hours worth of cooking and those are the instincts of a backyard BBQ stud which I whole heartedly agree with. So put another few chunks of wood and pieces of charcoal on the fire to keep it up to temperature for another hour or two , grab a pound of breakfast sausage, a block of habanero jack cheese, and a package of bacon. This will make the wonderful sausage cheese balls you have ever had. Roll out the sausage to about 1/8 inch thick and cut the cheese into small cubes. Carefully pinch of

enough sausage to make a small ball, place one cube on the sausage and form a ball around the cheese. Take a piece of bacon, cut it in half and wrap it around the sausage ball in crossing directions. You may need a toothpick to secure the bacon in place. There should be about 24 balls you can place on the smoker. Smoke them for about an hour and half. Remove from the heat and pull out the toothpicks. Eat warm and the cheese will be nice and melted. If you have enough space or a set of racks that allows for cooking these and the wings at the same time then go ahead and maximize your time and start these half way through the wings process. There you have it, in what amounts to about three and a half hours time you have two spectacular items that anyone can do it successfully. Go ahead and give it a try this weekend and ﬁnd your inner backyard bbq stud. You won’t regret it. Check out more great backyard bbq ideas at www. backyardbbqstuds.weebly. com

Florida Barbecue Association Funcook Shows Fun to All By Audrey Evans Editor & Publisher

It doesn’t take long to ﬁgure out that if you are missing the Florida Barbecue Association Funcook, you are missing out. Ask anyone, just look around on Facebook as far as that goes. Everyone has been talking about it and it all went down because of Mr. EJ Krause. Mr. Krause is a Master Judge for GBA and organized this years FBA Funcook. The Funcook had twenty-ﬁve teams. They also hosted a Kids Q and many other “fun” categories. Now, the unique thing is in this event teams are allowed to have second “entries”

to try out new recipes, or judges thoughts...that is up to you. Brian Mroczka, out of Orlando, Florida with Bull Rush BBQ #2 was the top of the line for the event and it was all about consistency. Consistency is scoring of course. Bull Rush BBQ #2 managed to stay in the top five in all four meat categories. They pulled out a third in ribs, fourth in pork and brisket and a fifth place chicken. Bull Rush was one of the teams who entered under #1 & #2; Bull Rush #1 managed a first place rib. So all in all, it made for a great weekend of fun for all the members of Bull Rush BBQ. Reserve Champion and second overall was Jim Elsner with his team Sweet Smoke Q out of Winter Haven, Florida finishing with a first place chicken, tenth place ribs, and a second place pork. Once again, Sweet Smoke Q had a separate team entering categories, which ironically fin-

ished fourth place. It was definitely a great weekend for the members of Sweet Smoke Q as well. Sweet Smoke Q #2 had a second place chicken and a first place Brisket. To finish out the top five remained Hogs Gone Wild BBQ in third, and Lang BBQ Smokers in fifth. Brad Kay with Lang BBQ Smokers was on top of his game but it just wasn’t enough to edge out the competition. Brad took home a fifth in ribs, seventh in pork and brisket and a tenth in chicken. The question remains, can these guys bring it together for the rest of the season to make one quality team and entry turn into multiple Grand or Reserve Championships for Florida Barbecue Association? I will keep you posted.

SBN Presents Our Annual Charity Donation

The Judges Tent: SBN By Jim Harmon President

The SBN continues to provide expert judging all around the Carolina’s. We are growing at a comfortable rate. Event Coordinators continue to contact us to judge their events in both of the Carolina’s. I am amazed and thankful for all of the Blessings in Barbeque that come my way. I want to take a minute and thank all of the great folks that support the Network and take time from their busy schedules to participate. BBQ for breakfast is fun and exciting. We are doing great things for so many good causes, Thank You! After a short “Summer Break” we found ourselves in Spruce Pine, NC for the opening contest of the second half. This contest continues to be a favorite on the schedule. Spruce Pine is located right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Nestled in the mountains just northeast of Asheville, the town provides a welcome respite to the hot summer days of Lowcountry life. The BOD considers it a welcome relief and we make our reservations early. Last year this contest boasted 15 cookers. This year it grew to a whopping 21 and the venue was changed from a cramped downtown location to a comfortable sports complex. The only obstacle was... rain. Spring and summer rains have been a part of many of the contests this year and Spruce Pine was not spared a drop. The cookers and judges came prepared. Friday sported a beef contest. Any recipe featuring beef was welcome.

The judges saw everything from taco’s to T-Bones on a soggy evening next to the train tracks. Ultimate Tailgaters pleased the judges’ pallets with a well made rib eye steak. The competition meats were Pork, Ribs, and Chicken. The rains held off until after turn in time on Saturday. When the scores were tallied, the Ultimate Tailgaters BBQ team was crowned Grand Champion. Blue Ridge BBQ and Catering took reserve. This contest will be a favorite for years to come. The folks who organize this event are cooker and judge friendly, and the town welcomes us with open arms. I’ve already made my reservation for next year. You should too! September will be a busy month for the Network. We have a full schedule ahead. Be sure to get to the website and sign up for some contests. One in particular that is always fun is Uniquely Union. Union is a huge contest that has many ancillary categories including Kid’s Que! The SBN is very interested in Kid’s Que and we will be working hard to bring Kid’s Que to as many contests as we can in the upcoming year. Our Que future depends on it! Sign up for the Union event and help insure the future of BBQ in Union, SC. Check out BBQ by Shrine Lake The Lions Club’s Best of Berkley at Old Santee Canal State Park in Monck’s Corner. And the new contest Smokin’ BBQ and Bluegrass Festival in Canton, NC. All Great contests for great causes!

The SBN is a non-proﬁt organization. Every year the Board of Directors evaluates, votes and chooses a charity to support. No one in the SBN takes payment of any kind for the services that we provide. Historically we have unanimously voted to donate a portion of our earned money to a deserving charity. This year the SBN presented a check for $5000 to the Summerville Miracle League in Summerville,

SC. The SML has built and maintains a baseball ﬁeld in the city of Summerville for special needs children and adults. We congratulate all of the good folks of the Summerville Miracle League for their courage and determination. If you want to be moved by what a group can accomplish, plan a visit to the ball ﬁeld on Saturday morning. It’s an experience you will never forget!

DANA HILLIS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 to be involved, thanks to all my cooker sponsors, Marko and Forrest Lumps charcoal and all the teams and friends that have worked so hard for us to pull this off. The Team of the Year race is truly heating up. Jim with Sweet Smoke is pretty determined to win this thing but Matt with Hot Wachulas just keeps scoring big points. Big Papa is close behind and Team Unknown has a chance to sneak up on all of us. The team of the year has always been scored from January to December but that is going to change. The 2014 points have already started with the ﬁrst contest after the fun cook. The last contest before the fun cook will be the ﬁnal points for the championship next year. 2013 will still be determined with the last contest in December. This will also allow us to have the celebrate last year party in December which will make it easier then trying to schedule a party around Christmas

or New Years. A big thank you to the board for making all this happen. We are having the Florida Georgia competition at Lake City and that is going to be a lot of fun and I think this is going to be a new tradition that is going to carry on strong! See everyone at a contest soon! Dana’a Simple Meatloaf Try this simple meatloaf recipe just don’t tell Swamp Boys! 2 pounds lean ground beef 2 eggs 1.5 cups of oats 2/3 cups Hot Wachulas salsa Preheat cooker to 225 combine ingredients – mix all ingredients in a bowl – place in a loaf pan and smoke for 2 hours – cover with your favorite bbq sauce and let smoke for 20 more minutes and enjoy!

SPRINGFIELD - We are offering our big smoker “Blue October” up for sale. We are replacing it with a couple more specialized units, and we are quickly running out of ﬂoor space to park everything. It is a great

cooker, and a serious workhorse. We are asking $2800 cash. It has a larger capacity than a Lang 84 smoker, for a fraction of the price. Details: This smoker was crafted from half of a 1000 gallon propane tank. The tank is 8 ft long, and is painted with heat resistant paint up to 1200 degrees. It is Georgia Reverse Flow for even heating. Same basic design as a Lang cooker. Left to right, we barely see a 20° difference in temperatures at the lower grate. The firebox is 32” wide X 22” deep X 22” high, and the grate sits 4” off the floor for better airflow. The firebox can be tended from either the top, or the back. It will burn either lump charcoal, or logs - whatever your preference. The 2 upper cooking grates slide out and are 35” X 34” each, the 2 lower grates also slide out and are 38” X 34” This give you 4962 square inches of cooking space - approximately 34 square feet. Roughly 12 butts per rack.

The trailer is re-purposed agricultural trailer, and has new 15” tires, a 6” C channel frame, mounted on a 5000lb axle. The hitch is of the drop pin variety. The tank and ﬁrebox is 1/4” steel. The damper plate is 3/16” steel. The cooking racks are made from expandable metal. The doors have counter weights for easier lifting, and will stay open on their own. Email us at noswineleftbehind@gmail. com for more information, or to set up an appointment to check it out.

TENNESSEE SEVIERVILLE - Two Fast Eddy FEC 100 smokers on trailer that is powder coated and always garage kept.

ing. I’m gonna have to make a few changes of my own if I ever want to get back out there. I’m seeing of there is any interest in my unfinished trailer. It’s a 33’x8’ steel gooseneck horse trailer. I have begun the conversion, the 500 gal cooker with insulated firebox and internal hinges is complete minus counterweights, and cooks like a dream. Countertop frames are built in the cook area but not sheeted. The living quarters are home finished and nothing fancy but comes with AC, small fridge, microwave, sink, bed, and cabinets. It really just needs wall/awnings built and sheeted, trailer lights and paint to be ready to go. I would like to get $5500

out of it which is way less than what I have in it. Email diamondwbbq@gmail.com for more information. LUBBOCK - For sale my ﬁre pit not a grill asking $200.00 obo contact me at least806-549-8519
