SOLD to a great buyer that is going to give her a good home. She was a fun run.

Buy yourself the best Christmas present ever. I’m making my retirement from BBQ competition official by selling my Jambo. (soon to be followed by the Work and Play trailer). This Jambo Enclosed model comes with two sets of racks. The original expanded metal racks and the 3/8” round bar racks include the microwave rack and a fabricated fire basket. Includes 2 different chrome vent stacks. One is 30” tall and the other is 40”. Use whichever fits your needs better for instance trailer roof clearance or porch height above your exhaust area. It has the Jambo boiler door. Includes a Jamie designed floor mounting bracket that anchors to the trailer floor for securing the smoker in place. $9200, or best reasonable offer. PM me if you have any questions.

We just saw the Columbus Ship the Pinta going up the river on It's way to Lenior City TN for a few days. Then on Nov 3rd it will be docked in Chattanooga. Back on Sept 30th 2019 we met them out in the lake and gave them some River Road Grillbillies BBQ for dinner. You don't realize how small they really were and that they could sail across the ocean.

Returned home to Kingston, TN after making the trek down to the Honeybee Festival - LaFayette, GA. This is a fantastic street festival that has lots of music, many vendors and a huge turnout, all while hosting a BBQ competition. Organizer Chris Finkbone and the whole support team did a great job.

This was our fourth competition of the year and hopefully we have shaken off some of the dust and rust from the winter layoff. We were excited to hear River Road Grillbillies name called four times with a 4th place chicken, 7th place ribs, 10th place pork, resulting in a 5th place overall. I missed out a brisket chance, when I messed up one of my recipes, that I thought I would be able to compensate on. I blew it so I just have to “Suck it up Buttercup.”

One of the best things to do at a comp is to sit around and socialize with your fellow competitors (aka BBQ family) on downtime, whether it be under an evening time awning or at a local restaurant.

Congratulations to Jason Singletary at Smoke Central BBQ (Grand Champion) and to Robert and Lex at Smoke Me Silly BBQ Team (Reserve Grand Champion) and every one that had the opportunity to hear their names called. Also, a congratulations to Bad Rooster BBQ on winning the Steak Competition held on Friday night and also a big thank you for helping me with an awning failure on my back porch. Definitely needed the awning during the afternoon sun. Thanks Adam.

Sevierville's Bloomin BBQ Festival is in the books and if you missed it, it was a great event. The organizer (Bob Johanns) and the many volunteers did a fantastic job organizing the event. The weather was great, the forecast for rain held off until after the turn-ins were over. Of course since it was a BBQ comp, the rain came just in time for an outdoor awards presentation.

This was our third comp of the season and things went smoothly and I felt the cook was solid, not great but pretty good. Received a 7th place brisket call and Cindy's Butterfinger pie got a 10th place dessert. Next competition is in Lafayette, GA at the Festival the weekend of June 3rd.

One of the best parts of BBQ is the great people. It's just good to sit around the gather up before the event and after awards and socialize with some great people and meet new folks.

Congratulations to the Grand Champion, our Mississippi friends ( Garrett) and to the Reserve Grand Champions Under the Radar ( Clem). Also congrats to all of those hard working BBQ'rs that received calls and hats off to all the cookers that just make BBQ competition a fun place to be.

Really have to thank for their great products. I normally use the charcoal to get the fire going quickly and clean, then throw the sticks of wood to the firebox through the day. Well I got some wood that just did not burn clean, and I added more charcoal to get the firebox and the ashbed hotter resulting in cleaning up the smoke.

A lot of people chuckle when I say I have a competition coming up and I have NOT practiced nor cooked many comps. Cooking competition in both pro and backyard is a challenge (thus the name competition) and therefore you need to get some smoker time.

Seriously the more you cook, the more you get in a groove, plus you get to tweak your recipes to see what's working and what's not. It's not the best scenario to tweak at a competition, but ya gotta do whatcha gotta do. Normal life goes on and I still enjoy that a lot too.

Anyway, the River Road Grillbillies are prepping and loading for the Bloomin' BBQ Music and Food Festival in Downtown Sevierville. Always a fun time, they put on a great weekend festival open to the public. See their webpage for the itinerary.

The Grillbillies will be prepping Friday and start cooking early Sat morning for the regular KCBS turn-in times from noon until 1:30. Come by and see us. Of course we won't socialize much until after the last turn-in.

We will burning some Charcoal ( Oak Charcoal) and some hickory hardwood all day. Hoping for some great results and some great weather.
