Backyard BBQ Dads, first comp

[Smokin' Dick]

Now it's my turn. LOTS of pics

Sorry for the late follow-up post, but Steve and I did return and we made our goal of not coming in dead last. Had a lot of fun at this first cook-off and met some nice people too. Here's some pics.

All things considered, we had a great time, learned a lot and I for one will try this thing again. Sometime. Put my name in to be a judge at the Harvard, MA comp in Sept. If they don't need me for that, I'll try cookin' again!
Thanks for watching and for being so patient!

Thanks Guys:-) And thanks to Richard for posting more pics! Even the tired one of me--LOL. My eyes were half shut for 2 days--I think there was something I was allergic too coming out of that smokestack at Anheiser Busch, but I certainly am not allergic to the beer!!!
