    Today is the first day, in 3 weeks, that it hasn't rained.  My entire yard is very soft and soupy mud.  I can't even move the smoker right now because I can barely get enough traction to drive out of the yard.  I have to park way out by the gate because it is the only place I can get traction...

    What's the Next Step?

    I agree with you Bruo, that walking consistently should be, and is, the ultimate goal.  But with the name recognition these guys have, it would be a huge advertising point.  If and when I start competing, I will probably focus on the Tri State Area here as this where my customers are.  I might...

    What's the Next Step?

    I don't want to be on the show, at all.  I want to beat Myron Mixon and Johnny Trigg.  That is a huge goal for me.  The show is what got to really thinking I could do it.  I think I can wait a little longer, though.  The contest later this year is a people's choice event and I am committed to it...

    What's the Next Step?

    Yeah, Dave, I've heard about that, too.  Which is why, if I go that route, I would start local and gradually spread out over a few seasons.  If you can't do well at home, then you probably aren't gonna win anywhere else.  I do have one advantage, though.  The guy that gave me my first recipe and...

    What's the Next Step?

    I thank you all for all of the great feedback.  I absolutely understand that there is a big difference in competition bbq and everyday bbq.  I have this fighters mentality where I think I can beat anybody and there is a strong urge to find out if I am right.  On the other hand, Foamheart made a...

    Honestly, I don't know and haven't given it a lot of thought.  I would think it to be better during the summer, but I don't see me being able to get away this summer!

    What's the Next Step?

    We have been getting a lot of positive feedback lately and most of the local resturaunts don't like us.  I think that is a good thing.  I recently started watching BBQ Pitmasters.  I don't know if I'm getting cocky or something (I hope not), but I am not all that impressed with what they are...

    Rib, we've had a solution to that problem around here for a long time.  It's called a pontoon boat.  There is nothing like spending a hot summer day floating around the lake on a pontoon.   Doug I think the thing to do is triangulate a area between us and make that our place.  Then we can see...

    I know this thread has gotten off track and I haven't been around in a few weeks, but I have been really busy since summer started.  I have had no less than 2 events per week for the last few weeks.  To top that off, my 8 year old nephew is staying with me for the summer so I can try to give him...

    Rib, I will look for a way to make it happen. I know that I can't be gone for more than a weekend, though.  As a matter of fact, my wife and I were talking about taking a weekend a going over to Valdosta, Ga, but I don't think a side trip would hurt us.   JckDanls, shame on you for letting such...

    It will be four cookers but they will all be fairly small.  Like I said only big enough for what is needed.  The rig will be light due to the thinner metal that I can use, so it can be pulled by the 4 runner leaving my truck available to pull the big cooker.  This way I can take advantage of...

    Guys that sounds like a good thing.  The logistics of it may not be as easy.  I'm sure we can work it out eventually.  There is a contest up above Jacksonville where we could go and woop up on some Georgia boys.....twice a year!! Rib, I was thinking of 4 small cookers.  Each one would be...

    Hey I think all of us Florida boys should meet up sometime and have smokin' good time!!  What do ya'll think?

    Rib, that sounds like a really nice place.  I envy you for it.  I live about 30 minutes from PC Beach and 20 minutes form PC.  I can make all of the money my family needs off of either one of them.  Most of the places on the beach close up shop in the fall because they have made enough money off...

    Rib, the only thing that would get me to a town that size is a competition with serious money on the line.  Other than that, my city days are over. I just can't handle the stress of all the people.  All I see is potential danger everywhere.  Hell, I do that here.  Which is why I live in the...

    PappaCurtis, you are always welcome here.  I would be honored to share my BBQ with you and any other friends from this site.  Just give me a heads up before your next trip and I will give you directions!  Thanks for your kind words.

    Ribwizzard, That is awesome!!  Those prices are similar to our area.  Maybe a little higher.  I hope we can be that way soon.  Thanks for sharing!

    JarJar, I have my cost sheet broken down about as far as I can get it.  Every ingredient in each plate has been calculated down to the ounce, including the charcoal and wood.  My prices are a little less than what most of the restaurants are getting.  I would love to pick the brain of someone...

    Thanks for the praise guys.  It's funny how I started this little venture off a little unsure of how good my food was.   But after seeing so many people's faces when they try it, I now know that I have stumbled on to some good recipes.  My confidence is gets higher every time I light up the...
