Howdy folks! Your buddy Cocamoke here with a quick update from the American Royal.
Sometimes you climb a mountain after the big win. We did that a month ago. And sometimes you want to drive the trailer off one. Luckily we’re in Kansas, so the closest thing to a cliff out here is a speed bump. We’re safe 🤣
Two days of boxes I’d turn in anywhere. The scores just didn’t follow them. That’s the American Royal. Huge field, a lot of great cooks, and you’ve got to be sharp and catch a little luck to walk that stage. We didn’t catch it this weekend.

Day 1 Invitational: Overall 75th with a 687.9084 out of 158 teams. Congrats to Munny's Stove on the RGC and B's Que on the GC!

Chicken: 76th with a 171.9772
Pork Ribs: 84th with a 170.8572
Pork: 27th with a 176.5600
Brisket: 115th with a 168.5140 (I liked it🤷🏼‍♂️).

Day 2 Open: 256th with a 668.4340 out of 360 teams 🙄 Congrats to Pop A Top BBQ on their RGC and Smokey Bey's on that awesome GC!

Chicken: 267th with a 166.2400
Pork Ribs: 171st with a 170.8228
Pork: 262nd with a 165.7028
Brisket: 235th with a 165.6684

Proud of the work. Not proud on paper. We did get to see a lot of our BBQ family and friends walk the stage and that’s always a plus. We’ve gotta manage our time better when it comes to these long distance contest and prioritize sleep lol Now we reset, regroup and get prepped for the Jack at the International BBQ Station here in Tennessee

See you all in the Holler

Thanks for all of the folks that help us throughout the year and keep us going with great products and service.

Howdy folks!
Your buddy Cocamoke here with a special request.
Please keep my mother Mama Teri, in your thoughts and prayers as she recovers from hip replacement surgery. She took a nasty fall on Thursday.
Teri isn’t just my mom, she’s a real part of Team Cocamoke Smoke. She’s been in this with me from the beginning: the long contest weekends, the late nights, the wins, the losses, the tough days, and every mile in between. This team doesn’t run the same without her.
This next stretch of recovery won’t be easy, but she’s got the same grit Team Cocamoke Smoke is made of. That fire doesn’t quit — and neither will she. If you can, send a prayer, a little love, and some kindness her way. It would mean the world to us.
Let’s lift her up

Thank you.

Good looking bunch right there lol
Always honored to be on the list with such amazing cooks.

Five teams. Three Grand Champions. One strong weekend in the 700 Club.

Cocamoke Smoke BBQ, traveling all the way from Florida to Montanna, where the trip paid off, led the way with a 706.8460, followed by SmellaQue, Wood Hook BBQ, BBQ Hot Yard and Mountain Smoke BBQ.

Outstanding barbeque recognized by KCBS Certified Barbeque Judges.

Congratulations to everyone joining the 700 Club this week.

Howdy folks — your buddy Cocamoke here.
We packed up, flew into Bozeman, rented a U-Haul, and rolled two drums straight into the 9th annual Montana Pit-Master Classic.
39 teams from the U.S. and Canada. Custom Montana Silversmiths buckle on the line. Official Montana State Championship. One of the best-run contests and venues I’ve been to Kenyon Noble Lumber & Hardware.
We didn’t make it easy on ourselves. We set the weekend up that way on purpose — get comfortable being uncomfortable. Different rigs, different travel, different rhythm. That’s how you get better.
One of the best parts wasn’t even the scores. We got to serve the public on Friday and Saturday, and that was a blast. Talking BBQ with the local folks walking by, swapping stories, watching people light up over a sample — that’s the good stuff. That’s why we do this.
Then the boxes went in.
Chicken — 175.4288
Ribs — 176.5716
Pork — 177.7028
Brisket — 177.1428
Total: 706.8460
GRAND CHAMPION.
Huge congratulations to my buddy Shane Davis with Shane Edd's Bbq on that huge first-place rib call, and to SmellaQue on Reserve Grand Champion. Congrats to every team that heard their name called.
