Tomorrow is the big day….The State of Michigan BBQ Competition. Team Grilladelic will be trying to throw a monkey wrench into the aspirations of many of the “pros”….especially the “pellet poopers” (thermostaticly controlled, electric driven augers that poop wood pellets into a firebox). How these smokers/grills are considered legal in a competition that does not allow gas or electric heat is beyond me.
However, in the wisdom of more experienced BBQ pro’s like Dr. BBQ, it doesn’t really matter what you cook on….if you are good, you are good….bring it on!
For this event I am using my Weber kettles for the brisket, pork and chicken and my Hasty Bake for the ribs. I am just a backyard guy, hauling, setting up, cooking, cleaning and tearing down my site….just a humble BBQ grunt, hoping for a few call outs. Just a deluded grill junkie thinking he can take home a few trophies…
Actually, I am just hoping to have fun, spend time with my kids and friends and catch up with folks I have not seen in a few years.
