Lynden WA for the whatcom county home show April 12-14th

Hope yall can make it and sample some delicious bbq.

I'd like to thank my sponsor Smokin’ Iron Fabrication for a custom fabricated M1 turned into a perfect reverse flow stick burner and their drums kill it at bbq and so simple to use. One charcoal box runs 300 all day 10+ hours. Throw a few chunks of any wood for flavor=money!

Blues Hog rubs and injection
Kosmo's Q Competition BBQ Products rubs and injection
Cowboy Charcoal
Pdx Hardwoods for quality chunks and cooking wood

In support for the recent passing of Corp. Lance Johnson,an amazing team member and bbq cook I'm wearing a Red Beards BBQ t-shirt to honor a great man.

Congrats Ez D's Smokeshack!

What else to do on a Saturday. Got brisket pieces left over from trimming comp meat on my Smokin’ Iron Fabrication drum!! I love this cooker. Literally set and leave. Constant temp with no electronics needed!

18/11/2023

Super stoked to announce Smokin’ Iron Fabrication has asked me to be a sponsored team for 2024 bbq season!!!! Their smokers run so clean and efficiently I can not wait to hit the ground running with a pair of SIF drums! Been getting calls ever since I bought my first one mid-season that paid for itself first time used with a 1st place chicken. Super excited for their line up of new products! Give them a like and a follow!

18/11/2023

After some rest here's a recap of the final competition of 2023.

We managed to get a 9th place chicken call out of what the judges say was some of the best chicken turn ins they have seen in a long time.

Now on to the annual awards and season recap. I manged to get 3 chicken calls (1st! 4th and 9th), 2 brisket calls (8th and 5th) this year along with 2 casi chili calls with the help of my mom Jo Ann Duchesneau. This leads me to the most amazing accomplishment I could have gotten this year. I won BEST NEW TEAM OF THE YEAR!!! I'd like to thank all the teams from Pacific Northwest BBQ Association for the guidance and everyone being so helpful from tips and tricks to borrowing some apple juice or chicken stock I have forgotten. You guys are my new family.

I'd like to also give a huge special shout out to Jason and Alta with RJ's Smokehouse and BBQ Joint. They took me under their wing mid-season at Sutherlin throw down, mentored me and taught me how to run my bbq more clean and efficiently. Not to mention sold me his old drum which immediately paid for itself with an almost perfect 1st place chicken. I could not of been so successful without you guys!!! I have walked in every comp since Sutherlin!

It's been awhile but an end of season update and super exciting news coming this weekend!!!

05/10/2023

A little late but now that I'm caught up on sleep. I spent the weekend at a new event in Enumclaw. BBQ, BREWS & BRATS. It was a success and had an amazing turnout. Hoping we will have twice as many teams and beer vendors next year.

I forgot to take a picture of our brisket box because I changed it last minute. Good thing i did. I got a 5th place call. No other walks but I had a blast and getting better, learning from every competition. Only one comp left on the annual year.

24/09/2023

Here at Camp Kory anxiously waiting for awards and results to today's cook. What an amazing place and amazing people here doing such great things for children with serious medical conditions. Camp free to the children and their families.

Got a big win this past weekend in DuPont WA for Hudsons Bay BBQ comp. KCBS 1st place chicken!!! 179.44/180pts! Near perfect.

Shout out to Jason and Alta hertZ with RJ's Smokehouse and BBQ Joint for all the guidance they gave me in Sutherlin as a first year competitor. Jason also hooked me up with this awesome drum smoker I used for the first time that won my chicken cook! Now I might need a few more!!
