45 Teams
2nd Place Chicken
2nd Place Pork
8th Overall
The setting was the Basswoods RV Park outside of Platte City, MO. The weather was beautiful with starry skies each night. The heated pool was busy and the fish were biting in the stocked ponds. What a wonderful setting for getting the family together for the weekend and a BBQ contest.
I cooked alone this weekend as Randy was getting ready for his daughter Megan’s upcoming graduation. The entries were chicken, pork ribs, pork, and brisket. All of my meats were cooked on two Traeger 075’s. The little pellet cookers did a great job on both the big meats as well as the ribs and chicken.
The chicken scored the highest with a 170 out of 180 possible. I never tried the chicken, but the tenderness scores were all 9’s, the highest possible from each judge. The pork was the best I ever made. I don’t think I can get a pork butt any better than that.
Two calls, both for 2nd place made for a very gratifying contest. But taking my son to the pool and watching both boys have so much fun camping made the weekend even better.

I had meant to buy some of that rub from ya before you took off but didn’t get to it. I’ll try and catch you at the Q’lossal next month.
