This team has been on the move with points in the last few years but October 20, 2012 they racked up with a second place rib turn-in, and a fourth place brisket they pulled off the win from Rub Bagby’s Swamp Boys by slightly less than a point.

The New Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker

BY REBECCA COOGLE Pit Bulls “Up In Smoke” As some of you may know, recently, Pit Bulls “Up In Smoke” acquired our latest smoker – the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker created and manufactured

by Randall Bowman located in Cumming, Georgia. As the build-out of the smoker unfolded we had the opportunity to watch this beast come to life. We couldn’t wait until the day Randall called us saying “the smoker is ready.” Danny was up there at his first opportunity to pick it up and bring it to its new home.

Randall worked feverishly on the mammoth dual chamber smoker – taking great care in making it one of the best, if not the best, smoker on the market today.

No expense was spared. He

A Must-Have For The Serious Barbecue Competitor

painted the smoker a beautiful gloss red and black to match our colors and mounted it on the back of our new rig. It was a pleasure and an honor to work with someone so passionate about their product and the sport of barbecue – Randall believes in producing only the highest quality product for a high quality cook – his smokers are designed for those who are serious about the sport and art of barbecue. The beauty of the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker is that it gives you the ability to cook hot & fast and low & slow all on one cooker – which is a tremendous benefit for teams like ours that use both cook methods at competition.

Our Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker has two separate interior chambers with 12 gauge walls. Each

chamber is 28” wide, 30” deep, and 34” tall. The racks are 27”x29” made out of 1’ square tube and 3⁄4” #9 flattened steel (no tip runner).

The patented header system in each chamber is built out of 4”x4” square tubing that is 1⁄4” thick with a minimum of 2” of 2000 degree insulation. Sloped with a 2” grade to drain (top chamber into bottom, with bottom draining to 1 1⁄2” ball valve), exhaust is engineered to work in conjunction with the patented header to supply consistent and accurate heat and even cooking temperatures.

We can tell you from our experience that this smoker is dead on the money when it comes to consistent and accurate heat and cooking temperatures (the smoker maintains a consistent temp from front to back and side to side of +/- 1 degree.)

There are NO HOTSPOTS with the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker. You can place your meats anywhere in the smoker and have a consistent temperature without over or under cooking – it offers a flawlessly easy cook.

Each chamber has its own firebox and each firebox is run separately from the other. The charcoal chutes are built out of 8”x8” square steel tube that is 1⁄4” thick.

The ash boxes are 8”x8”, 13” deep and made out of 1⁄4” thick steel. The heat exchange into the header system is 4”x8” steel that is also 1⁄4” thick.

There is 4” of 2000 degree insulation between the chutes/fireboxes and the cooking chamber walls to protect the chambers from the ambient heat and preventing hot spots along the

cooking chamber wall.

We have had the Deep South Dual Chamber Smoker since the Covered Bridge ‘Que in Euharlee, Georgia, where it made its grand entrance into the barbecue world. It was our first cook with the smoker and we took home a Grand Champion trophy that day. That says a lot about the amazing cooking ability of this smoker.

We were not totally familiar with the new smoker, but it held its own and did exactly what it was designed to do – provide us with an awesome, flawless cook! Our sponsors, Moore’s Marinade and Royal Oak Charcoal were thrilled with the new smoker and our great finish!

We have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Randall Bowman for a couple of years now. He is passionate about the sport of barbecue

and takes great pride in everything he does – from competing to building his fine smokers. Randall grew up in metro Atlanta, passionate about the art of ‘que.

“We have a long family history in BBQ,” Randall states. Randall attended, as he puts it, high school and college (some) and played professional baseball for a few years. At the end of his ball playing he was living in California and was a partner in a health club.

Randall goes on to say, “I was fortunate to open and operate several other health clubs over the next few years as well as funding three other successful business operations. In 2003, I was involved in a near fatal auto accident and sold all my interest in all business to focus on my recovery. Dur-

Where are you headed next? I hate it when this happens!!

Audrey Evans

Editor & Publisher aevans@bqtimes.com thebbqtimes@yahoo.com Well here we are. It doesn’t seem like it should be here. What am I talking about? The end of October / beginning of November, of course. It’s a HUGE time of the year for competition BBQ. Everyone is busy heading to The Jack, and I sure wish I were going to be there this year. I have always wanted to go to the Jack and had planned to this year. I guess I’ll have to go next. Good luck to all the teams. I know it is a tough field.

Then there is the Pig Jig in Vienna Nov. 1-3, 2012.

If you have never been, it’s a must in Georgia. The Big Pig Jig, to my knowledge, is one of the largest and oldest barbecue contests in Georgia. I haven’t gotten a team number count for this year, but I’m sure it’s going to be big with Molly Hatchet playing Friday and the Atlanta

Rhythm Section playing on Saturday. The Pig Jig is always a big party. It’s another one I am unfortunately not going to be able to personally attend this year.

So where am I going, you ask? This little South Georgia country girl is headed to Vegas. I am going to the World Food Championships Nov. 1-4. There is even a good chance you could be in Vegas and just got this paper from me. I’m sure I will have some stories to share next month, but then again, what is it they say? What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?

••• I have had a few folks ask if I have had any more ventures with my smoker at home. Well, I tell you what I have done: several slabs of ribs and I worked on a pork loin recently. The presentation is there – the stuff even has one of the best smoke rings you could imagine – and the flavor is there. I’m not too sure what they want to know. Do they really think I am going to give out my recipe mixtures or techniques? HAHA I can promise I am not one you want to steal barbecue recipes from, yet. We will just say I am going to leave the competition part to Big D until I get a few more things figured out.

••• I want to take a moment to say “Thank You” to every one of you. I hope you take the time to support the busi-

nesses that advertise with The BBQ Times when you can. Let them know you saw their ad. Talk to them. That’s what it is there for. I want to say thank you to the readers and subscribers. If no one wanted to pick up the paper and read it, I surely wouldn’t be sitting here today.

Three years ago, this was all a dream to me. It never occurred that I could actually one day live my dream because of it. I have truly been blessed with this career being available to me and I guess I could say “falling in my lap” Thanks to Big D. Thank you to the folks who helped make this dream a reality. I couldn’t sit here and begin to say thank you individually to every person, but you know who you are and you know if you have contributed to making this paper a success. There is truly no way I would be living this dream if it wasn’t for each and everyone of you reading this and making it possible, so THANK YOU! Next month will be our 3 Year Anniversary edition.

We will have great coverage from the Jack, Hawkinsville Harvest Fest, The Big Pig Jig, The World Food Championships in Vegas and several more contests. I can’t wait for you to see what is in store.

So, Get to rubbin’ some butts!

Danny Evans

Pitmaster Big D’s Firehouse Smokers Associate Editor What? When work interferes with BBQ. I have signed up for three cook-offs in the past month and haven’t been to a single one. Done a lot of testing and tuning, but no contest. Seems like something at work wants to come up right at the last minute to keep me out of that window of being able to get to the cook-off and having time to prep meat and get things

going without the rush that makes you forget steps in preparation.

I was not going to let it happen to me this week.

I was going to be ready. I started working the trailer making a few repairs from the cook before. Everything was going good. Did a test cook on pork loin early in the week. Then came the problem. Me! My brain has just been on overload. Business, employees, banks, family, hunting club you name it, it was on me.

I got up on what I thought was Wednesday morning.

Going to get all my work done so I could take off on Thursday, get loaded up and head down to Hawkinsville to get set up right after lunch so I would be ready. Problem? It was Thursday morning. That’s right, my brain was a day off. I don’t know how this happens. I guess my little battery that keeps the little clock in my brain

ticking was running down.

Thank God it wasn’t a pacemaker battery! Ain’t that right Leonard? Well it’s 4:00 pm on Thursday and I am just about to go load up and head out to Hawkinsville to the Pigs and Produce. I’m sure there will be people over there acting like the ones I mentioned above, not Leonard!

••• I sure hope the schedule gets less crossed up than has been in the past month. I enjoy going to FBA and KCBS contest because I can enjoy it without all the politics and drama that comes with being on the Board of a scantioning Body. I know the people at these are going through the same stuff. I just don’t have to worry or care if it is done right. I can just cook BBQ and enjoy the fellowship.

Larry Johns and Thomas Henry always keep me en-

the contest.

1st. Review the rules of the barbecue cook-off.

To qualify for winning the cook-off, you must follow and adhere to all the contest rules. Obtain a copy of the rules by consulting with the lead representative for the cook-off or by visiting the website for the cook off.

2nd. Learn about the backgrounds of the cook-off judges. This practice will help you determine the flavors of and cooking methods for preparation of your meat. For example, if you are participating in a cookoff in the Georgia Barbecue Association or Florida Barbecue Association but some of the judges have MBN background where they prefer Memphis-style flavors you can make changes to compensate. Introduce yourself to the Judges in advance before the cook-off, if possible, to determine the background and experience of

each judge.

3rd. Participate in Internet discussion groups about barbecue. Engaging in forums and discussions about barbecue will give you new, additional tips and ideas for unique and flavorful barbecue. Perform an Internet search using keywords such as “barbecue forums” or “barbecue discussions” to locate online barbecue communities. I have found the internet to be a very valuable tool. Also, Establish BBQ friends on Facebook. Most of my success has come from many of my facebook friends all across the United States.

4th. Obtain all the necessary items required for the barbecue cook-off. Again, follow the competition rules.

5th. Use meat that is high in quality. High-quality meat is considered to be fresh and

There are several techniques and strategies that you can use to process your meat so that it will be rich in taste and flavor which will help you win a cook-off.

A Message from Your President

Economy isn’t Stopping Competition Barbecue

Dana Hillis

President Fl BBQ Association It is hard for me to believe we have had this absolutely horrible economy with fuel prices thru the roof, food prices higher then they have ever been, most people making less money then they have in years yet there are more contests in more places and it is amazing. The organizers running these contests have to work there tails off to try and get sponsorships because sponsorship money is hard to come by these days. I truly believe BBQ is booming because of the people involved in every aspect. BBQ people are true Americans and love to cook, feed people, generate money for charities and will help there friends like nobody else.

Several of our teams just came from the Sams club championship where they gave away a $50000 grand prize. The Kansas City Royal just had a record setting number of teams make that trip. The Jack Is in Lynchburg and your bbq resume’ is not complete until you have had a chance to cook there.

100 teams from all over will make the trip to Las Vegas for the World Food Championships. Several of our teams are making that trip to see who puts out the best food period!

The Smokin On the Suwannee had a record setting number of teams and was a well run contest. The Whis-

key Bent Team is sanctioning a contest and have recruited Dana Pasquis to run there show and I promise you this will be a spectacular event. Don Overholser from the Fort Myers Bishop Verot contest is working hard to make their contest one of the highest paying best contests you can go to.

Don Fisher has the Airport in Venice putting in the infrastructure to hold one of the biggest and best contests in the country. Everyone of our FBA contests is a cant miss event. We keep saying we are going to back off on doing so many contests but we seriously cannot pick an event we would want to miss.

The great people we have met along the way make the travel and being away from home so much fun.. We were lucky to get to know Sam and Dianne Grogan and looked forward to seeing them at the northern Florida and South Georgia contests. Dianne was a true sweetheart and even battling thru her illness she was charming and full of life. We cooked next to them one time and Dianne won a Steak contest and when she realized she also won $1000 for first prize we had a blast celebrating. Sam made the best boiled peanuts I ever had . He was a true gentleman and we will truly miss them. My 16 year old son thought they were the nicest people he had met in BBQ. My good buddy James from Team Huff and Puff BBQ had some health issues and I hear he will soon be venturing back out to remind us what a great cook he is.

We miss you and your blue robe huffy puffy. Give me a call when you read this and give me an update. James did something in BBQ not many have done – He won Grand at his 1st contest ever.

My good friend Randy Morris and the Finely Ready BBQ team is one of my favor-

ite teams and I just don’t get to hang with them enough.

Randy start cooking more.

Head down to south Florida and you might be able to add to that trophy collection. My good friend Gnat Daddy Jim had some surgery and I hear he’s doing well. If you get near Steinahatchee stop in and check on him and see if he can play a tune or two on the old washboard fiddle.

I miss going to Douglas/ Waycross already. That contest and all the great people from up that way are going to be truly missed. I loved all my ambassadors and I always looked forward to seeing Melissa, Kell ,Janet and the whole Phelps clan.

If you want to have some real fun on a bbq road trip, load up another team and ride together. We recently had a team road trip with us to Tennessee and its really cool finding out some of the cool things your friend can do. We all had to sleep in the parking lot of the Sams club the first night there and Janet and I slept in the trailer while my father in law Papa Larry slept in the backseat.

Matt with Hot Wachulas got all comfortable in the front seat. Sometime around 3: oo am I had to visit the rest room in our trailer. It was peaceful and quiet until suddenly the whole trailer and truck jumped forward 20 feet like the truck had been shot out of a cannon. By the time I got my senses and made it out of the trailer I almost wiped out with the step gone. Janet met me with a wild look in her eye and when I made it to the truck Matt was behind the wheel with a look of shock on his face. Somehow he had turned the key and the truck is a stick shift and it started in gear and lurched forward.

Papa Larry was trying to get out of the backseat and Matt was still half asleep and did not have a clue what had happened. It was truly one

of the funniest things I have seen.

Enjoy every minute you

have in this life and remember our bbq friends forever.

Bless our troops and bring

our families home. I miss you Pop.

GBA Rolling Along with Fall

Harry Faircloth President GA BBQ Association

Last Saturday over in Gordon, Georgia at Josh Youmans 3rd Annual Fall Line BBQ Contest I had a few minutes to sit down and catch my breath. While I was sitting there I looked out over the cook site at all of the cookers and wondered “why are these guys here”? so my question is “Why Do We Love BBQ’ing” From the cookers standpoint, why do they Love to Cook? Some folks are just “born-to-cook”, you know someone who just has “cookin” in their blood.

Someone says lets get-togather and “joe” will cook for us, he loves it. “Joe” has been cookin’ as long as anyone can remember, and you know what, he is pretty dagone good at it too. “Joe” will cook at his kid’s fundraisers to raise money for the ball team or the cheerleading team. He will be down at the church cooking’ chicken all day long and enjoy every minute of it. You know he is cooking’ for the Rotary Club annual fundraiser and he still has time to cook with The Georgia Barbecue Association. What a

guy.

There are cooks that are also manufactures of smokers and they love to cook on their own smokers to show everyone that they can build a fine cooker and produce championship BBQ on their own grill. These guys work long hours and many years to build “The Perfect Cooker”. Most of us don’t have a clue how many hours they have put in to prefect their equipment. How many design changes have they gone through and do I move the grill up an inch, do I move the handle over here or leave it there. On any give contest there will almost always be one of these guys cooking’ and deciding is this grill gonna produce me some championship entry today? You know what these cookers are for real.

They know the dynamics of smoke flow, the affects of air from this or that direction, is that too much smoke or to little smoke. These guys also know how to produce a product that will snag those judges with just “the-rightthing” today.

We have the cookers that just come out to cook and have fun. They don’t get in the points races as they don’t cook enough contests to worry about points. Now these guys can have “fun” at a contest. They can also produce some pretty good meat entries and every once in a while finish in the top three and they are happy as a “jaybird” because they got to “walk” and took home a little cash and bragging rights. But don’t miss the point about these cookers; they are serious about hav-

ing a good time at a contest.

It’s sorta like guys night out of the house and they will talk your ears off and they might also offer you some “libation” to sit down and tell a tale with them or listen to one of theirs. Now these cookers aren’t quite as serious as some of the others are but they are still friends among us.

Some times we have a female crew that is out to show the guys that the women can cook some fine “Q” also.

And you know what I have seen some female crews that have done just that. Most of these ladies have been a part of their husbands crew before and know the in’s and out’s of the bbq scene. The thing about the ladies is they are out to win and they are dead serious about it too.

They are not gonna stay up all night telling’ tales and having a few party hearty drinks. They are gonna watch their temps and put the “perfect” rub together and the “perfect” glaze so those ribs look as if they are absolutely the best looking’ ribs you’ve ever seen. My hat is off to these gals and I would like to see more of them out there cooking’ if for no other reason they always look so clean and crisp when they come to turn their boxes in rather than who knows what some of these guys look like at turn in.

Next we have “the serious” cookers. They came to cook and win! They have been cooking for a while and have become pretty good at it. They are in the race for The Team of the Year and top money winner for the

race for the Team of the Year and top money winner for the year. These fellows have the latest and greatest equipment; if there is a new gadget out there that will give them an edge they are gonna try it. They look far and wide for the perfect meat to start with and then a rub that will produce the perfect taste with the best after-bite you can imagine.

These guys have an injection that they spent untold dollars on producing so that their meat will always be moist with just a hint of the injection in the meat.

Glaze you say, you can’t believe what all has gone into the glaze these fellows use. Their glaze has probably cost them thousands of dollars to produce, but boy is it a winner and you

are not gonna get a hint of its ingredients either. Yes siree these guys are good cooks and they can be great friends also BUT you gotta understand this is business to them.

Well here goes my last type of bbq’er. They are a little bite of all the above.

They came to have fun.

They came to win. They came to prove they are as good as anybody else and they are too. These pitmasters are tried and true, they might not have the fanciest rig there but let me tell you they can come home with a top-three finish in any category at any time and they can come home with a Grand Championship on any given cook day. These fellows are willing to share any cooking tip they have.

They might even loan you some of their rub, injection or finishing sauce at any given time. Forgot to bring something you need, just ask they will share anytime with anybody. These teams are what it is all about. If they win they are happy, if you win they are happy for you.

I don’t know that I have covered every type of bbq’er there is but I bet you they all fall some where between here and there.

The point is the bbq family is made up of a lot of different types of cookers and just like these GREAT United States of America we can all be part of a great group of people, barbecuer’s! And they ALL love to cook.

DEEP SOUTH Continued from page 3

ing my recovery, I explored my passion for barbecue much more in depth.” Randall bought his first “real smokers” in 2004, and in 2005 after not finding what he wanted in a smoker, began building his own.

Randall’s desire to build his own smoker quickly became an “obsession” to build the best cooker ever and, in 2005, Randall said, “I was approached to invest in a national caliber Motocross track and jumped in with both feet...itching to get back into the business, I also took on the food side of the operation and opened Deep South BBQ.” Randall began polishing his culinary skills and making changes to the cookers he had built for his own use, changing the cookers sometimes from week to week until he felt they had them right.

“I knew a little about BBQ competition and was asked to compete in the 2007 Clovis, California Red Hot & Real BBQ Competition.

We heard our name called in our first competition and that sparked my competitive nature.” From that first competition, where he is at today was born. It was at that point, Randall said, “We decided to move home to Georgia in 2008 and begin building our food concession and cater-

ing business (even prior to making the move.)”

Deep South BBQ quickly became one of the foremost event concession companies in Georgia and catered for some of the most prestigious venues and clientele in the state. Randall’s competition life continued to grow throughout the southeast and he began building more and more cookers for themselves, family, and friends. Then, they began building smokers for friends of friends and the word spread quickly that Randall’s team was doing things other smoker builders were not (caring for and about their customers). “I want my customers to call to thank me, not a week after their cooker gets to them, but 10 years after.” Deep South Smokers takes pride in building a cooker that will last a lifetime.

It is their goal to build you the last cooker you will ever need. As Randall goes on to say, “We have been fortunate enough to meet a lot of great folks in the BBQ world and make a lot of lifelong friends. BBQ is our life and our business. When we are not working building smokers we are with our BBQ family and friends out there on the circuit competing. We live by the motto, ‘If you dream it, we can build it.’”

We, at Pit Bulls “Up In Smoke” are here to say that Deep South Smokers and Randall Bowman live up to that motto. They have created a one-of-a-kind smoker, leaving nothing to chance.

Every thought, every angle, every piece of steel, insulation, nuts, and bolts, have been carefully planned out and brought together with unwavering consistency, reliability, beauty and most importantly the ability to provide a flawless cook.

If you are considering investing in a smoker you can depend on, believe in, and have complete confidence in, then contact Randall Bowman of Deep South Smokers. His dedication to excellence gleams in every smoker he creates and we are confident you won’t be disappointed. We at Pit Bulls “Up In Smoke” firmly believe that a Deep South Smoker will very well be the last smoker you ever buy.

Our dual chamber smoker is amazing and we don’t know how we ever competed without it. Thank you, Randall, for a job well done and your dedication to the sport of barbecue. Contact Randall by phone at 770-886-6290, by e-mail at bbqcup@hotmail. com, or visit their website at www.deepsth.com.

Interview Smokin’ Stacks

Turning Up the Flames

Oct. 26-27

A Conversation with Larry Bowling and Jeff Smith of Smokin’ Stacks Cook Team Recently, I had a chance to sit down and talk with Larry Bowling and Jeff Smith of Smokin’ Stacks BBQ team from Aiken, S.C., as these two up and coming cookers get ready to represent South Carolina in the upcoming World Food Championship in Las Vegas.

They haven’t been on the cooking circuit all that long and at the time of writing this article they are already the number two team in South Carolina in the year-long race that is held each year for the S.C. Championship.

Garland Hudgins I wondered just how it was that they got started and how they came so far so fast.

“Back in 2008 we entered our first event,” Larry told me.

“It was a non-sanctioned fund raiser for the United Way in Aiken, SC and we walked away with Grand Champion. Of course, we were as delighted as we were surprised. We were hooked from then on.”

“Then in 2010 we entered a KCBS sanctioned event, the Backyard Series, in Greenwood, and we finished second in pork.”

We didn’t enter a South Carolina Barbeque Association sanctioned event until Hardeeville in 2012 but there we took a first place win.

As a father-son team, I wondered just how that has worked out so I asked Larry if he thought cooking together had brought him and his son closer together. Well, yes it had in fact he said, “Most definitely, and it’s not just us, it has brought our whole family closer. It is something we all are interested in doing.”

“In fact we are getting back to our roots for the Las Vegas trip,” he continued, “We plan to sleep under tents and the stars when we get out there. Momma is flying but we are fortunate enough to have Satcher Ford in Aiken, S.C., providing us with a truck to take out to Vegas. It’s going to be quite a trip” Smokin’ Stacks has also started doing catering and as Larry put it, “We started catering to help finance our barbeque habit.”

So far in 2012 Smokin’ Stacks has taken first place in six SCBA events and Larry was free with some advice for new cookers. “The biggest thing we did,” he said, “was attending the Carolina Outdoor Cooking BBQ Class. It taught us the details and tricks we need to elevate our products and scores. It showed us the importance of having a plan and being consistent. My advice for beginners is to educate yourself, be consistent and do not get discouraged.”

Larry has competed in various sanctioned events and he has his favorite things he likes including the camaraderie and fellowship with the other cook teams he finds in the SCBA. “Everyone helps everyone else in time of need even if we are competitive,” he said. “It’s serious but fun. We call the SCBA our second family…our barbeque family.”

He now has some concrete barbeque contest goals now.

“Our ultimate goal is to go to the Jack and the American Royal,” he told me, “We are using the SCBA as a chance to gain the experience we need to compete on a national scale.

We also hope to finish in the top 25 in Vegas.”

So, it’s off to Las Vegas where Jeff and Larry will be rolling the dice and trying to play their cards right! I told them, when they win be sure to tell the people that they are from South Carolina the home of the nation’s finest barbeque and the SCBA! Good Luck!!

The first place finish in all three categories insured the team would also take home the Grand Championship trophy.

Backyard Porkers finished 3rd in Loin, 4th in Pork and 9th in Ribs to claim the Reserve Grand Championship.

Tips on Winning from Carl Continued from Page 22

EVANS

Continued from Page 22 tertained at these cookoffs. Damon Wooley gives Foy the devil for not playing ball sports. Julie loves this because she wants him too. All he cares about is four wheelers, cars, trucks, and well, anything with a steering wheel. I don’t blame him, that is the way I have always been. I got into BBQing so I could buy trucks and parts to build fire trucks and equipment that we couldn’t afford. So, I guess

I have been building junk for a long time.

••• For those of you fortunate enough to go to the Jack or the World BBQ Championship in Las Vegas, I bid you the best of luck!! If I can get things to settle down here, I might head out to Vegas the middle of the week.

Until next month, “Keep Rubbing Those Butts”!

is considered to be fresh and either all-natural or organic, and in most cases will taste better than pre-packaged meat found in many grocery stores. Consult with local butcher’s and farmers in your area or region who can provide you with fresh meat, or order high-quality meat. Visit Butcher stores or supermarkets who specialize in all-natural or organic products to purchase your meat for the barbecue. This has worked really well for me.

6th. Develop a unique flavor for your barbecue.

Barbecue cook-offs often judge cook teams on their ability to produce a new, unique barbecue flavor.Try combinations of different sauces, spices, and cooking

methods to develop unique flavors. For example use either cherry wood or hickory wood in your smoker, experiment using both types of wood to determine which produces the better flavor.

For my pork I perfer Pecan and Peach. For Chicken I have great success using apple. Brisket, I prefer a mix of Pecan, Hickory and Cherry.

7th. Develop a finishing sauce or glaze that has great texture. Most judges prefer barbecue in which the sauce does not retain a watery or runny consistency. Create a glaze that sticks to the meat without dripping or add small amounts of honey, or maple syrup, to enhance the flavor.

8th.

Display your barbecue in an appetizing and appealing

manner. Judges will score your entry according to how appetizing it appears. Wipe off sauce spills from the edges and sides of the turn in box.If you place toothpicks in your meat, use neutral, wood colors instead of colored toothpicks. The dye on colored toothpicks will transfer onto the meat when the toothpick is pulled out.

9th.

Keep your meat warm or hot. Warm or hot barbecue will taste much better to the judges and give the impression that it is fresh; whereas cold meat may give the impression that the meat is less fresh. Establish a timeline so your meat comes out of the smoker shortly before going to the judges. This is very important and so crucial to winning a barbecue

contest.

If you have any specific topics you would like for me to address or feedback, please email me at smokin willysquealers@gmail.com or carlwms5943@gmail. com .If you are a new team just getting started in procompetition and need help, please email me and I will be happy to work with you.

Remember! For all your barbecue news and information go to www.bqtimes.com the best barbecue newspaper in South Georgia!!!

Cue’~Tip of the month: Always Maintain professionalism at the barbecue cook-off and stay focused.

Stay safe, Have fun and Happy Cue’ing!!

The BBQ Times

The Jack Daniel’s is in its 24th year!

Darryl Mast

bbqsuperstars.com This year BBQSuperStars is going to shoot the event but LuLu’s BBQ is going to do Live Results on Site.

It will be the first time you could listen in as the results

are broadcast live! The Jack Daniel’s is the goal of every Competition Team every year. Just making it there is and honor but to place in a category is the high light.

Not many people can place in the Top 10 because it is The Best in the World going head to head.

Its a non sanctioned event. The go by KCBS rules but The Jack Daniel’s is its own contest. It is its own magic. What is magic about The Jack? The Jack Daniel’s itself. The Jack Daniel’s story of a man who decided to start making Jack Daniel’s Whiskey came up with a process that is now The only Charcoal Filtered Whiskey made of its cali-

ber. Jack Daniel’s takes a multi-year process of distilling and aging in Oak Barrels. The Oak Barrels are chopped up by The Largest Wood Processing plant in the world and offered to use to cook BBQ. Western Wood Premium Products Website <http://www.woodinc.com/> is the largest producer of BBQ Wood Burning Products on the World.

Jack Daniel Barrels are a coveted item!

The Lids are signed by The Best BBQ Teams in the World! Its a magic place and its just off The Main Square off a town called Lynchburg Tennessee, Its an old town way out in the middle of no where buts its the center of

The BBQ World. BBQ is taking over the world. Pillsbury has a croissant that has BBQ already added. Cook and the BBQ is ready to go.

Sounds good to me. It probably isn’t Myron Mixon BBQ but it probably pretty good.

If you didn’t make The Jack go to The Jack. Why would you want to compete on The Jack Weekend. Man from 5 pm to 7pm on Saturday its the one place to be in the world at the Coral down in The Hollow!

The Tour of the Plant.

November Sweet Treats from the GBA

by Harry Faircloth

APPLE FRITTERS 3 cups all purpose flour 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder 1 cup milk 1 egg 1 cup vegetable oil 4 to 5 apples, peeled, cored, and cut in 1⁄4 inch round slices 1 cup confectioners’ sugar In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, milk and egg: mix well.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Dip apple slices into batter, one at a time, then place in oil.

Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden on both sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter.

Put confectioners’ sugar in a shallow dish. Carefully dip hot fritters in sugar, coating completely.

Serve immediately.

This treat comes from Master Chef, A K Saville and he says it is hard to

stop eating them while they are warm.

ELLEN’S COCONUT CAKE 1 box yellow cake mix 1 5oz can cream of coconut 1 8oz cream cheese 1 cup 10X powdered sugar 1 small pkg instant vanilla pudding 1 cup milk 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup shredded coconut 1 8oz pkg extra creamy cool whip Bake cake by box directions; when done poke holes with a fork all over cake.

Pour can of cream of coconut over cake.

Let cool and set up.

Beat softened cream cheese and sugar, add pudding slowly, add milk and vanilla to mixture.

Stir in coconut.

Spread over cake.

Top with cool whip and sprinkle on coconut This comes from Mr Dan Serles and he says his sister, Ellen Ratliff of Americus Ga, is the mastermind of it. I can attest

to the delicious flavor of this one. Mr Dan brought this cake to a competition and it was consumed in short order.

GERMAN CHOCLATE PECAN PIE BARS 3 cups pecan halves and pieces 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour 3⁄4 cup powered sugar 3/4 cup cold butter cubes 1⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa 1 1⁄2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels 3⁄4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 3⁄4 cup light brown corn syrup 1⁄4 cup butter, melted 3 large hen eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.

Line bottom and sides of a 13 X 9-inch pan with

heavy-duty aluminum foil, allowing 2 to 3 inches to extend over the sides.

Lightly grease foil.

Pulse flour and next 3 ingredients in a food processor 5 to 6 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press mixture on bottom and 3⁄4 inch up the side of the pan Bake crust at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven, and sprinkle chocolate morsels over crust.

Cool completely on a wire rack (about 30 minutes).

Whisk together brown sugar and next 3 ingredients until smooth. Stir in coconut and toasted pecans, and spoon into prepared pie crust.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and set. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Chill 1 hour. Lift baked bars from pan, using foil sides as handles.

Transfer to a cutting board: cut into bars.

This treat comes to us from Mr. Jeff Schramm down in Richland Ga. and he says they are delicious.

Yeah! I don’t know Jack.

Its something you’ll never forget and I never want to miss it again. God Bless Jack Daniel’s, God Bless Old No. 7, God Bless all the people who put it on.

If your a worker who helps put the contest on let me say one thing! When your walking the steps to organize the contest it may seem like no one knows how hard you work. What it means to The BBQ World, What it means to Brown Forman, it may seem like its no big deal.

Listen to this, everyone who has ever put a 10X10 up in the past year. Every contest organized, Every BBQ Cooked and turned it was for one purpose, do

get that magic draw at The Jack. Thousands of Teams are hoping they will make The Jack. We all Love The Jack Daniel’s Distillery for giving us hope of a Real World Championship. The Jack Daniel’s World Invitational BBQ Championship is exactly that. If Brown Forman was to pull the plug thousands of people would be affected.

Its just A Hollow, but its one Hollow that has changed The World. It changed mine.

It will change millions more!

Pig, Rufus Smokehouse BBQ, Old Henry’s BBQ, Onsite Ribs, Smokn’ 42 and Natural Born Smokers.

Friday Night ancillary winners were: Sauce – Smokn’Q and Onsite Ribs, Stew – Smokin Willy Squealers, Wild Game – Onsite Ribs, Dessert – Rufus Smokehouse, and Bloody Mary – Onsite Ribs.

Saturday morning cookers poured smoke into the mist coming off of the mountains. Bright sun and mild temperatures burned the mist off early as everyone had a great time cooking to win one of the unique locally made pig trophies.

Four teams double finaled: The Pampered Pig (Loin and Pulled Pork), Jethro’s Cooking Crew (Loin and Ribs), Bubba Grills (Loin and Ribs) Smokin’Willy Squealers (Ribs and Pulled Pork).

Jethro’s Cooking Crew won the Hog Jam Grand Championship with their Ribs. After years of supporting the GBA as a cook and past President, it was Pitmaster Jeff Schram’s first GBA Grand Championship. A strong cook by Smokin’Willy Squealers brought the Reserve Champion trophy to Carl and Mary Williams.

Jethro’s Cooking Crew Takes Grand at The Hog Jam!

Blairsville, GA, The Lodge at Copperhead – (by Greg Hoyt) The North Georgia Mountains were smoky the weekend of October 12-13.

The Hog Jam at The Lodge at Copperhead just outside of Blairsville, GA was the northern most GBA Contest to date – barely 14 miles from the Georgia-North Carolina State line.

The owners, staff and friends of The Lodge at Copperhead rolled out the red carpet Friday night starting with heavy Hors d’oeuvres an open bar and a rock’n band on the back porch at the Lodge. The food was fabulous; the drinks were great, the music was wonderful. Everything our hosts planned for Friday night set the perfect atmosphere for fellowship that is always part of a great GBA Weekend. Anthony, Michelle, Jerry and Paula all worked tirelessly to be sure that everything ran smoothly through the awards on Saturday.

Pitmaster Jeff Schram and Jethro’s Cooking Crew arrived late Friday evening.

Once they got set up, they set the pace for a field of GBA Teams that included Smok’n Willy Squealers, Bubba Grills, The Pampered
