My barbecue competition team mates on Four Q BBQ took first place in the beef brisket category last weekend. Brisket cook Neil “Big Mista” Strawder took a well deserved, first win in his category after a string of top placings. Congratulations, Neil, on your number one slot, and another cow trophy for your collection. Your brisket always rocks (shameless plug for Big Mista’s catering)!

Congratulations also to overall winners Tropical Heat (woohoo Bill and Dan!) and BBQ by Dan (way to go, Dan & Barbara). My teammate BBQ Junkie has a detailed breakdown of winners in each category, if you’re interested.

It’s great to have four cooks on our team whose kung fu is strong. I missed this contest, and they stepped right up and took fifth place in the pork rib category: the meat that I usually cook. As with past contests we did with one cook missing, Three-Fourths Q is still a wrecking crew. Where was I? Cooking a charity event with the California BBQ Association to benefit the Wishland Foundation. Post to follow.

    I have a new rule. You can’t post photos like these without giving me some first.

    Do you realize the photos you are publishing are qualifying your blog as a porno site?
