We are so proud to be able to host this event and even more pleased to be able to donate 100% of donations to K9s for Warriors to help train and place rescue dogs with our veteran warriors suffering from PTSD and TBI. All together, $6005 was collected through the event page on their website and collections at the barbecue. Our friends, family and co-workers gave with their hearts. God's hands were on this whole event that's for sure. </div>

It was on honor to host our annual Spring BBQ and to have it benefit an organization that supports two things so close to our hearts...our veterans and our furry friends...and when they are put together, its even better. We look forward to being able to work with them again and want to continue to support their efforts.</div>

This was our first IBCA sanctioned contest. There are a few differences like turn in times are one hour apart instead of 30 minutes with 20 minute turn-in windows instead of 10 minutes. It was really pretty relaxing, giving us time to socialize more. </div>

We invested many years into the Scouting program with our own boys and their friends. I still believe it is one of the best character building programs for boys there is.

It's spring in the southwest...that means the weather is great and folks are enjoying their time outside. For us, that means a busy BBQ time. We've been blessed with quite a few catering jobs over the last couple of months but the one that really stands out is cooking for the 820th Red Horse Squadron at Nellis AFB. </div>

We catered their spring family event in March for 350 people. When hearing back from them they said they loved it, got rave reviews and even heard we won over a few Texans with our brisket. That is a huge compliment in itself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month, we were honored to hear from them to cater their homecoming celebration for the troops coming home from Afghanistan. This is such an honor for us to provide the food for an important event for them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Timm and I (Crystal) both grew up close to Nellis AFB and have great respect for all the armed forces but the Air Force is dear to us and the Airmen that work in all aspects to protect our country. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We heard back again...they loved and devoured the food. That means so much to us! </div>

This year is flying by...it's all ready time to head to Boulder City, NV for the <a href="http://www.bestdambbq.com/" target="_blank">Best Dam Barbecue Challenge. </a> The Rotary Club hosts this event every Memorial Day Weekend and they do a fantastic job. We're hoping for great weather and a prize winning cook. We've had a few calls at this event in year's past but this event seems to be our nemesis when it comes to getting a top 5 call. This year we have Tracy, a KCBS certified barbecue judge cooking with us as she works for her master certification. This should be a great learning experience for her and we're honored she chose us to cook with. Hopefully, she will be good luck for us. </div>

We made it through to the second round (regional event) in Las Vegas...a mere 20 miles from home. It was a crazy windy, cold, and rain threatening event. The wind was so bad that no one was allowed to put up canopies. This made it difficult for many teams, and a boost for U-Haul truck rentals. In fact, they didn't even put up sides on the judges tent. It was up because it's weighed down with 55 gallon drums filled with water. </div>

Young BBQ dude, Adam Difloe came out and gave us a hand, braved the cold, and was a great help. At only 17 years old, he might just be one of the youngest pitmaster's around...he and his mom make up Stoked to Smoke, another Vegas team. </div>

We fought the wind and weather that effected the pit temps and meat. Large meats did not want to come up to temp and were taking up to 2+ hours longer than normal to cook. We didn't use our usual brand of chicken and that cost us I think. The skin shrunk up to look like small squares that laid on top of the thighs. Amy (Got Smoke BBQ) told me that it was packed in water and that's why the skin shrunk so much. We felt like we had a good turn in box of ribs. The money muscle sliced really well on the pork, and the first brisket was pretty good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, we finished 18th with a 661.6688 so we won't be moving on to Bentonville in September. That was a higher score than the Salt Lake event but scores were higher overall at this one. We placed 22nd in chicken, 19th in ribs, 11th in pork, and 14th in brisket at this contest. </div>

I gotta admit, I was excited about jumping back into the BBQ contest world but it's been since July 2013 since we competed in a full 4 meat contest. We've cooked quite a bit but we haven't really practiced for competition. Last month we competed in two rib only contests...doing well in one and tanking the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We loaded up the trailer, picked up our meat, packed personal stuff and hit the road. We traveled to Cedar City Thursday evening to spend the night instead of getting up a O'dark thirty and driving 450 miles. This worked well and I think we'll do it again. It was nice to not be so tired come Saturday at turn in time. </div>

We have a check list, we checked it, we forgot stuff...important stuff...ingredients for ribs, chicken, and brisket. Yes, this was definitely the first full contest of the year. I improvised and whipped up an injection for the pork with what we had available. Ribs and brisket just didn't their ingredients. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought my chicken was pretty good, I was pleased with the trimming, thought it looked and tasted good, we didn't forget any stuff for it so I thought it might be our best category. Judges didn't think so...finished with a 20th placement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No call in ribs, finished 24th...apparently we need to work on ribs at the moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We weren't expecting to hear our name in pork; after all, we forgot the injection. There's a new rule for pork this year. You can remove the money muscle from the butt so what the heck, let's give that a try. It sliced better this time around I think, maybe a bit dark though. Overall, I thought the box looked good. We're thankful the judges liked it and we took 2nd place! Now to remember what I put in the impromptu injection. lol</div>

Last but not least...brisket. The first one we sliced didn't have the flavor we were hoping for. Thankfully, the second one was on point and flavorful. For the last couple of years, brisket has been our strong meat...and this year is starting off that way...2nd place call! </div>

By the grace of God we managed to place 6th overall. I'm not sure we cooked well enough but I'm not a judge to make that final decision. Thankfully, we are moving on to the next round...regionals in Las Vegas! Congrats to R&R for walking in all four categories and placing 1st for GC.

For the last few years we''ve hosted a Spring BBQ at our home, inviting family, friend and co-workers. This year we were blessed with amazing weather for the event. The wind stopped, and we enjoyed a warm sunny day.</div>

We traveled in pouring rain, but once we got to Bullhead City, AZ it had pretty well stopped. We just had some strong winds until midnight or so. Saturday turned out to be a pretty day. </div>

Adam's team "Stoked to Smoke" competed in their first contest on their own, he did a great job and finished 10th. That's fantastic for his first time out. </div>

We're off to our first contest of the year! It's been a long time since we actually competed so it will be nice to only have one meat to concentrate on...and it's only 2 hours away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's gonna rain but we've got some great rain gear and canopy so we'll be fine. Hoping to take home some of the prize money on this one. There will also be food sampling so I hope folks come out despite the weather. Half of the sampling money goes to a great cause...firefighter charities, the other half goes to the teams. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take a nice drive, come out to see us, eat some great ribs, and enjoy your day!</div>

Y'all come on down to the river for some tasty ribs! Bullhead is just a hop, skip and a jump from Las Vegas...it's just across the river from Laughlin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is our first contest of the year...a good one to get our feet wet since it's been quite a while as far as competing goes. Take the short ride, enjoy some tasty ribs, support a local charity...take a day trip and get out of the house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tasting tickets are just $2 each with half coming back to the teams and the other half goes to support the Bullhead City Firefighters Charities. </div>

It's official! We signed up for the 1st round of events for the Sam's Club National BBQ Tour. Salt Lake City will be our destination in April to compete in the local event. We've been wanting to get up there for quite some time now to see friends, visit their new restaurant, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year, we didn't register for the whole Sam's Club thing. In 2012, we made it all the way to the finals in Bentonville, Arkansas and were blessed to finish 6th in brisket and 6th overall. It would be awesome if that were the case again this year. We'll see. There are so many variables that come into play. It will be an adventure we look forward to.</div>

In August, we participated in a Kid's Que burger contest at St. Jude's Ranch for Kids in Boulder City. The kids were so excited to team up with our BBQ teams to cook the best burgers they could. They all had a great time. Thankfully, we had an overcast, cool day for August which we were all grateful for. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We've been back from Holbrook a while now and realized I've not updated my blog. For shame. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those that aren't aware of where Holbrook is...it sits on I-40 on the eastern side of Arizona in the midst of the Navajo Nation, lots of red dirt, petrified trees and all sorts of vintage/funky interstate highway memorabilia kind of things. </div>

Interstate 40 is heavily traveled and a major road of choice for semi trucks traversing this great land of ours. With that being said...the road can be pretty rough in many places. I'm pleased to tell you it is finally being replaced in long sections and is getting much better </div>

We arrived in Holbrook before lunch, set up our site, and settled in for another contest. Last year, this was what I considered a local contest with many of the teams we often compete against. But this year there were many well known and highly successful teams from around the country. Johnny Triggs was our neighbor on one side and Left Coast Q on the other. Big Poppa Smokers and several of his Elite Teams were there including Iowa's Smokey D's and others. Smoking Hills, Little Miss BBQ, The Cowboy Way, Karnivorous, Loot & Booty, Ranch 13, Lucky 13, Sin City Smokers and more lined the streets around the haunted courthouse. Sorry, no ghost tour this year. :( At the judges meeting the KCBS reps announced they were running with the new scoring system. There are just a minor changes in weighting of scores but the information on the score sheets was quite interesting. You can see who was on the same table with you, how your box scored against the judges avg score and more. </div>

We set about the tasks of prepping, cooking, boxing and more as usual. I thought we overcooked the chicken since the pit hit about 350 at that point. Turned out that one of the pieces was still slightly pink at the bone...bummer. It was considered undercooked and scored very poorly. We still managed a mid pack score on chicken though. I don't what happened to our pork...it wasn't spectacular like the pork in Boulder City, but I didn't consider it bad either. I am embarrassed to say it came in "Dead Ass Last". Please Lord, never let that happen again. However, we redeemed ourselves in brisket and took 3rd brisket. In that highly successful crowd of teams I was really pleased to hear our name...especially for brisket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One little Indian boy came around by our booth looking really concerned. He came back with his mom a bit later. He was afraid we were going to cook the dog for the contest since he saw her on the logo. I have to admit that was a first to hear or even imagine. We assured him she was not going into the pit and was our mascot. We introduced Cassy to him and he went away felling much better about the whole thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again, we donated our prepared meats to the local food bank along with many other teams. There is a great need in the area that we have the honor of helping to fulfill with something we are passionate about. It's a good feeling to know that so many will benefit from it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We finished 15th overall. I can't help to think where we could have been without the problems we encountered with chicken and pork. Congrats to all the teams, it was great to see so many of them again. Thanks to Tommy and Jennifer Duncan. They put on a top notch contest every time. Till next time...keep on smoking that meat. </div>

Suitcase needs to be packed, ice chests need to be loaded, truck get hooked up and the trailer is almost ready to go. <br />
Cassy always knows we are leaving and she is well aware that she needs to be going, too. If the back door on the truck is open, she'll be sittin' in the seat waiting patiently. <br />
Holbrook, Arizona is waiting for us...and we don't want to keep'em waiting. We hope to bring home some cash and hardware this time around.

We had the pleasure of meeting several great people including some guys from Great Britain. They were interested in the smoker and how it works, they came back on Saturday for samples and were super excited to taste the food. We were talking with another gal we gave samples to about Operation BBQ Relief...she and her husband lost their home in Joplin MO and actually received meals from OBR. What a small world it really is. We sent a box of meat home for her hubby, we received a really nice and sincere email from them. We gave the rest of our prepared meats to folks from Camp Civitan. They operate a special needs camp in the area and were super excited to receive the donation. They assured us the campers were going to be very happy to enjoy great bbq. It's a blessing to be able to share with such wonderful people. </div>

We stuck around a few extra days to enjoy the area. It's a great place to explore. We didn't go into Grand Canyon NP...my knees just weren't up to a whole lot of walking. But we did drive through Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, and took Cassy swimming in Dogtown Lake and White Horse Lake. We also visited Bearizona. You can see photos from those adventures at our other blog, <a href="http://trailhoundadventures.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Trailhound Adventures</a>.</div>

Last weekend Timm cooked both days in the record breaking heat. It was 114 degrees on Saturday and 109 on Sunday. It's a good thing everyone enjoyed and appreciated their food. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so looking forward to highs in the mid 80's with a low of 50...it will be like heaven. Cassy will enjoy as well. She'll also enjoy time spent at a lake or two in the area. It's been a long time since she has had a chance to play in the water like that. She has a kiddie pool here at home, but she only stands in it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We hope to hear a name at awards and bring home a few bucks but just being able to spend time in the Williams area is a winning time for us. We'll even hit Bearazona...it's such a neat place. </div>

As far as brisket goes, it was way too peppery for my taste but it was our highest placing category. It was a thinner brisket than I normally like to use. </div>

I think one of the most exciting things I am happiest about all weekend is the 2nd place call in ribs for Satisfied Hogs! They also got 6th in brisket. They finished just in front of us in 8th place. We're so proud of them. </div>

We decided to donate our winnings to Operation BBQ Relief. It's something we really feel good about and we know it will do lots of good in the Moore, OK area. </div>
