2011 Recap
We've had a very blessed year again in 2011. It wasn't our best year, but certainly not our worst. We're gearing up for the 2012 season. Starting to put together next years schedule. We start the year out going to San Diego, CA for the KCBS Team of the Year Awards Banquet. We finished this year 7th overall, 6th Chicken, 24th Rib,6th Pork, and 18th Brisket. We are definitely looking for a new recipe for ribs in 2012, but will keep all our other recipes the same except to tweak a little. Finishing all categories in the top 25 isn't too bad. We've had a lot of great friends called home to be with the good Lord this year, and even though they will be missed, we know that we will see them all again some day. We have high hopes of a great 2012 and hope everyone has a great New Year. Be sure and sign up for our upcoming Lotta Bull "U" to be held in February. Look forward to seeing everyone next year.

The "Jack"
What a great weekend. It rained on Wednesday and Thursday, but moved out early. Turned into a sunny and cool weekend. It was great to see Mike and Chris Peters of the KCBS tour. They do a great job promoting KCBS and all their tour sponsors. They were also competing for the first time at the event too. Special thanks to Don Cary of Yoder Smokers for letting us borrow a brand new Pellet Cooker to cook our white meat chicken on. This is the only event you have to turn in both dark and white meat in the Chicken category and also the only event you have to turn in enough for 7 judges. We ended up with a 2nd place Chicken. It was definitely a first place entry. Not bad for cooking the chicken on 2 different Yoder Smokers. We ended up 19th overall out of 89. Our ribs tanked big time, otherwise we would have given the GC a run for his money. LOL We are headed now to Gastonia, NC and then to Shelby, NC before heading home for our oldest grandsons 9th birthday. It was good to see a lot of our past Lotta Bull "U" alumni. Several got calls, and made us extremely proud. Till next week......

Sam's Club Finale, Bentonville, AR
The top 50 qualifying teams from around the country came to Bentonville, AR for the Inaugural Sam's Club BBQ Championship. Arrived on Thursday evening and got set up. We were again parked with Wild Bunch and had a good time getting to visit with them and with some teams that we don't get to see on a regular basis. Went over to the Doubletree Hotel for a Reception thanks to Uncle Kenny's out of FL who gave us a ride over to the hotel. Appetizers, drinks and a concert by Country Music Star Craig Morgan. Since it was a Friday night and time to get to work, we left pretty quickly. Not able to stay for the concert, but we're sure it was a good one. We were able to get a photo op with Craig Morgan on Saturday afternoon thanks to Mike McCloud with MMA who brought Craig around to introduce him to us. Saturday went off without a hitch due to the great jobs by the KCBS reps and volunteers. A special thanks to Dawn and Kelly in the KCBS office. These two girls work their butts off for not a lot of glory or money. When all was done we had a 5th place chicken and 10th place brisket. We ended up 8th overall. Congrats to Tippy Canoe for winning GC. We also got a 3rd place Tri-Tip award. This was an extra category that was thrown in, and was entered by all 50 contestants. We are headed now to "The Jack" next weekend in Lynchburg, TN. Be sure and stop by if you are in the area. This is a great event with lots of stuff to do for the whole family. See you in Lynchburg.
