So some of my friend and I decided to have a cookoff last weekend. I decided to do brisket, a turkey, and my first time making Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans. Long story short, everything turned out just awesome and I won the competition!! It was my second brisket, and this one turned out excellent. Before I put it in the cooler to rest we had to cut and try a few pieces. Everyone else there cooking conceded the contest to me right there since they thought it was some of the best beef they had ever had. Many thought it was better than any prime rib they had eaten before. The turkey turned out awesome also, brining is the way to go. I could not believe how much I loved the baked beans. There were some people there at the party that thought they didnt even need to eat meat since all they wanted were the beans. All of this was done on my new Traeger grill. I decided to save a little money and get the smaller 070 one which I will regret of course later. I told the wife that once I start getting catering jobs I would just have to buy another one :) Here are a couple of pics. Sorry I did not get any of the finished food, things got fast an furious at the end and I kinda forgot. My wife just got a new camera so the qview pics should be much better very soon. I will be cooking 3 boston butts and a couple of chucks this Friday for my sons birthday and for a fall sports opener ceremony, so I will get some pics for you.
