    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    I think over the next couple weeks I'm going to take your advice and start that journal. Right now it's all based on memory, since I've really only focused on Ribs and now Chicken. To motivate me, I'll eventually post in a thread on here and get feedback on my recipes/process. And I need to...

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    5 minutes after I posted, they finally posted the results! haha - I had a feeling that would happen. I finished smack dab in the middle in both chicken and ribs, finishing 8th out of 15 in each. Overall, 7th out of 15. My scores are very close to the 2-3 teams ahead of me, so I'm pretty...

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Nice fix there on getting the chicken in the firebox! We still don't have scores from our competition. Has anyone ever experienced a delay this bad? Other competitors are asking daily on their facebook page, so I'm patiently watching that interaction without getting into it. If this keeps...

    Looks great - especially that pork. Congrats on the placings! How was your competition? Run well? Good crowd? What'd you cook on? How'd you end up saving your chicken? We're still waiting for results from our comp...haha.

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Ha - just thought of doing this tonight and saw your post! Welp, we didn't finish in the top 3, out of 14 teams. What sucks is that due to what they called a "computer glitch" they couldn't give any of us a score or placement past 1, 2 or 3. Hmm... the organizer apparently quit during the...

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Damn - some good advice there. Never thought of doing that. I would think the extra meat on the bottom would also help stabilize the box, so it wouldn't tip. Speaking of Myron - what was your favorite takeaway from that experience? I spent some time down there last year with him, doing ribs and...

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Thanks Gpro! I sauced them by dipping in warm sauce with about 30-45 minutes to go. Then we re-sauced when we plated. That's funny - my buddy mentioned when we plated those that we'll need some Q-tips next go round for clean-up! Will definitely take some pics - tho in our comp, they said NO...

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Hey Golfpro and guys above - thanks for the great insight. I'm pretty determined to go 100% pops in the box. 6 for sure, maybe 7 if I have enough good looking ones for the table runner. I did another test run this past weekend, and things really turned out better. I had medium-crispy skin...

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Hey there - comp is in 2 weeks. I'll definitely be wrapping the bones and finishing on the rack. Applied a large amount of butter and brushed it on last practice run, and had much better success! This is a "Backyard" comp - so my strategy is that the lollipops will stand out from what I assume...

    Double Smoked Ham (Bear Style)

    And she's done and served - a hit! Here's how it went: 7.5 lb'er, boneless. Cut a few slits. Rubbed Honey Dijon all over, then sprinkled brown sugar. Smoker around 230-240 all day, WSM 18.5" Hickory and Apple woods. Placed raw bacon and some ham fat in a pan on the top grate with holes...

    Double Smoked Ham (Bear Style)

    One question before I do this tomorrow, as I now am the owner of two Easter hams! Would you smoke the 7.5 lb. bone-in shank or the boneless 7 lb'er?

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    Thanks for the feedback guys - going to try upping my temp a bit and rubbing some butter all over the skin pre-cook. I'll post back here next time I run'em!

    Chicken Lollipops in Competition?

    I used about 3/4 of a stick. Hmm... not a bad idea on the finish to crank it up.
