On Saturday the College Football Hall of Fame had an St Louis style rib cook off in lue of the enshrinement of the newest members. There were the 2 categories professionals and amateurs. I was in the amateur categorie.

There were 7 teams and overall there were 16 teams. The KCBS Rep said I would have placed 4th if they were combined, I never even thought about leaving with the 1st Place Amateur winnings.

That was a day I'll remember for the rest of my life, I am still pumped up from it.

I'll post pics when I can get my camera to download to my computer.

This was a wonderful day. So 1st prize for amateurs received a Big Ass Trophy, an autographed football from the enshrined players and $400.00. It was a nice payday!!!! The guy in the photo behind the table is an honorary team member and the guy holding the trophy is me!!! No pic's of ribs, sorry.

Thanks Terry. That thing is an extension to the charcoal chimney for ease of pouring charcoal into the WSM. SmokingAl made a thread on this.
