Anyone going to Pork in the Park this Friday in Salisbury, MD? It's our first official competition!

Well, we finished 54th out of 108 teams.  Not bad, but not good.  Dead middle of the road.  Got high appearance scores on all 4 boxes, and that was encouraging.  Now, we need to tweak our flavor and tenderness to really amp up our scores.

Chicken (75th place, it was a little over done)

Ribs (37th place)

Pulled Pork (21st place, almost cracked top 20)

Brisket (56th place, also a little over cooked)

I think we might still be adding a little too much heat to our rub and sauces.  We are going to be in Annapolis, MD on May 4th and 5th for the Naptown BarBayQ, and we're going to try to go sweeter and see how we do.  We like where we're at for presentation purposes.
