What a fun and amazing weekend in east Wenatchee at smoke in the valley. First comp back with a long 2 month hiatus from bbq while stuck in the real world working in chicago. Felt great to be back but yet I am still so exhausted. So I decided to put fate in the hands of my pitmaster in training Brian. Using my program for injections/brines and mostly the same rub profiles. Started and ran all the pits himself, wrapped everything, sliced everything and boxed it. I supervised to keep him on track but barely had to do anything today and we landed,

8th chicken
9th ribs- wild child!
3rd pork!!!
7th brisket
6th overall.

He killed it! Couldn't be more proud!! Congratulations Small AXE BBQ for the Gc and lake house for rcg. It was great seeing everyone and i can not wait until annuals next month.

Thanks to my sponser Smokin’ Iron Fabrication for these savage drums! Royal Oak Charcoal keeping them lit.

Couldn't of done it without these pitmasters products.

Went down to sutherlin for the 4th annual throwdown event. Was a hot one per usual but also another amazing weekend. Thank you Terry, Lisa, Derrick and the whole volunteer crews, yall make us feel like royalty with all the amenities you provide teams and we appreciate that a lot! I had what I felt was a pretty good cook. A little rushed in the morning as I was so tired i trimmed pork, injected and rubbed pork and brisket morning of comp rather than night before. There were 30 top tier teams from all over the states. Here are my results. Didn't get pictures.

5th place chicken
3rd place ribs
Middle of the pack for pork and brisket with a 1st on my table, however with all the high scores I ended up 9th overall with a 695. My highest KCBS score to date.
Also ended up with a sponsors choice bbq award for my Zenners Sausage Company jambalaya on saturday!

Thank you to my sponser Smokin’ Iron Fabrication for designing your pits to run with minimal effort.
Thanks Jason Hertz, Joseph Poteet Christina Poteet for pushing me to use Royal Oak Charcoal for the last two events. Accounts to my first GC, then highest kcbs score on record for me!!!
Congrats to everyone who walked, especially my fellow SIF team members Small AXE BBQ RJ's Smokehouse and BBQ Joint J&C BBQ and Catering and also Tim Tom's BBQ for that first place chicken!!! Great job everyone.

Couldn't of done it without these epic pitmasters products.

Omfg!! Thats all I can say about this amazing weekend! I Headed down to one of my bbq families J&C BBQ and Catering restaurant at Lebanon for a double header block party weekend. Friday was a rcoa cookoff for wings and spare ribs. I managed to walk in both categories. Great job team Icebox Performance and all of the Garrets ( Will Garrett) for absolutely killing this cookoff. Great job kids. There was also a kids cookoff that i had the honor of helping Audrey Tyler mini me with my brother Allen Carter. Congratulations aury (wish i knew how to spell your name)on your 2nd place kids cue burger challenge.

Next up was the unbelievable event, outlaw bbq association today where I had a fun time cooking with Brittany Poteet for her first outlaw event where she managed to snag a 2nd place ribs call with what she knows best. Restaurant ribs with a twist!!! Great job girl. Hope you can come to the next one. I also had the pleasure of cooking with Jason Hertz. Congratulations on 3rd place overall and many thanks for teaching me how to dial in the Smokin’ Iron Fabrication reverse flow offset. Ran like a dream today! Congratulations Joseph Poteet for reserve grand champion where he has upgraded from one rack joe to one drum joe. And finally for my results. I snagged a 3rd place chicken, 4th place ribs and a 2nd place brisket for my first ever grand championship and b**g for the jack daniels invitational drawing. So stoked! They had the most amazing trophies i have ever gotten. Custom made knives from Texas with hand made leather sheath and bags. Custom Texas handles. Unfortunately I didnt now get any picture except for my chicken.

Up next- Sutherlin throwdown next weekend.

Thanks for my sponsor SIF.

Had an amazing weekend at Big Smoke BBQ in kalama this past weekend. Thursday night I helped roast a pig old school Carolina style all night with Small AXE BBQ, Moose and Gator’s BBQ Fly-In Pig BBQ Competition Myrtle Creek, OR and Jacub Hauglum on Dan Denny killer hog pit. Turned out phenomenal!

Saturday I competed in the RCOA in wing and ribs. Managed to place in both!

Sunday we had a few hiccups but pulled through.

Thanks to my sponsors and killer products these pitmasters have created!

Last weekend I traveled to ilani to sample out some delicious bbq and compete for the first time in their bbq fest! What an experience that was including the 95 degree heat! Things were a little different having 3 category turn ins in two days but plated as beautiful platters rather than a plain turn in box. Some real chef stuff so who else would i call to partner up with then Chef Dontavian McNair! The one and only "Chef". Salmon the first day and ribs and pork belly the second day. Overall I think we did well for our first attempt and can not wait for next year.

4th place salmon
5th place porkbelly

I thought our ribs were so good but they did not score.
Gotta give all the credit to Chef for the turn ins. He did great. I was in charge of the samples besides chef famous mac and cheese. I made 12 wagyu briskets, 30 lbs of candied sauage and 4 gallons of jambalaya. Made with Zenners Sausage Company sausages.

Everything cooked on my Smokin’ Iron Fabrication pits burnin B&B Charcoal.
