On Saturday Meat Marauders did our 2nd comp & were super happy with the whole day really.
Things ran smoothly & we stuck to the game plan, which gained us 6th overall.
First lot of thanks goes out to my solid team, Jes, Garth & Bonita. Everyone stayed on tasks, but we still had some fun along the way.
Stoked as with our cook all round!
Chicken: 271/300
Pork Ribs: 280/300
Pork: 298/300
Brisket: 287/300
Big shout out to Shaun & Alia from Black Label Barbecue for organizing our last comp for the year. Great work team & thanks again...
Massive congratulations to The Brunswick Whanau & Out The Grate BBQ for absolutely killing it, & a well deserved GC🤯🔥🔥🔥....
And also congrats to our neighbors Joint Smokers BBQ for the RGC, and for busting out the Dei Hamo bangers😂💯...
Shout out to The G'rill Spot for being solid neighbors as well👊🏾😎...
Hugh thanks to the businesses & individuals that got behind us:
Offset Catering Limited
McLeod Cranes and Hiabs
Full Send Fabrication Taupo
M21 Meats
Central Concepts Limited
The Creative Alliance
Falcon Signs
And also a big thanks to our friends at Mapari Meats for the brisket, & Bidfood Taupō for the Pork & Chicken.
And on a side note, shout out to Steven Cook & Cook Cartel for keeping us pretty motivated to keep putting in the work... 👊🏾😎
And lastly we'd like to thank the whole BBQ competition community.
We realized when we had to leave early after the prize giving to cater for our 4x4 Club Xmas function the next day, that trying to just get up & leave, was like trying to leave the Marae with all your whanau around, & it taking more than 10mins to shake hands &/or hug your way out to the front door😅...
That's what this community has become to us, & there's nothing but big love all round❤️...
So thanks for the great year, Merry Christmas... & let's get at it again in 2025.... LFG 🔥🔥🔥
