I left this part of last weekend off of my original post, because this was particularly special to me…
We got our first ever call in the Turkey Smoke BBQ contest this weekend , sponsored by Plainville Farms, held at Smoke on the Rail BBQ Festival in New Freedom!
It’s been years of cooking different recipes and different things trying to crack the code, while avoiding cooking just slices of turkey or doing a turkey club sandwich. I’ve always enjoyed these turkey contests because it was a chance to do something different. It finally paid off, and our first turkey call was a first place!!!
Turkey is so much fun because you can do so many different things with it. Can’t wait to do National Turkey Federation Turkey smoke again!
Had an absolute ball of a good time at Smoke on the Rail BBQ Festival in New Freedom, PA! Had a fun round of golf and dinner with our boys from Top Gun Barbecue, cooked a double contests and enjoyed seeing our friends the Ewings throughout the weekend!
We also did pretty well in the contests! On Saturday we had a 7th place Compart Family Farms rib, 2nd place Compart pork (lost the tiebreaker for first) and 10th place Snake River Farms brisket, good enough for 6th overall!
On Sunday, we smashed up a first place Compart Family Farms rib and again 2nd place Compart pork (again losing a tiebreaker for 1st) to finish 9th overall!
Congrats to Rooters-n-Tooters BBQ and The Fat is Where it’s At Barbeque on their Grand Championships!
Special shout to our dear friend at blueeyedbbq for their RGC on Saturday. Two of the coolest and best people in BBQ.
Also shouts to Hot Mess BBQ for being amazing neighbors and to our new friends at meatmonarchy for the shade and laughs!
Not possible without our partners from Compart Family Farms, Snake River Farms, Blues Hog, Gateway Drum Smokers, BBQData.com, and Big Poppa Smokers
Love being on this amazing list with some of the best cooks in the world.
Loved King of the Smoker!
🔥 Big Poppa's Monday Shoutout!🔥 This week, we're tipping our hats to the amazing Old Virginia Smoke. We love this photo of Luke competing at King of the Smokers! Show us your pictures from KOS!
As always, we look forward to this weekend at Chillin' and Grillin' In The Glades every year. This year was no different, as it is like going home. We get to see a lot of people that we love in BBQ and in the Town of Wise.
We even had a tremendous suprise visit from Jerry Dyer and JD's Smokin Misfits! They hungout all weekend and truly added to the special nature of Wise.
This contest is always around our wedding anniversary as well. So that's always fun to celebrate two of the best things in our lives at the same time...barbecue and each other.
We had a fantastic cook this weekend, one that we will remember for a long time. A perfect 180 and 1st place chicken, a perfect 180 and first place Compart Duroc ribs and 8th place Compart Duroc pork. The brisket hit a bad table, because we thought it was great as well...but that's BBQ. This was all good enough for a 700 score and Reserve Grand Champion!
Huge congrats to -n-pig, -VeeVee Massey on their 712 and grand championship!
Greg Cross and Town of Wise, VA are always right on point. Thank you for everything that you do. Big thank you to and for helping us clean up on Saturday night!
Also a big thank you for the great time with Fire Dancer BBQ. And a BIG thank you to Eric Clayton Fortenberry for helping us with a big tire issue.
And a huge thank you to our partners that are with us every step of the way-- Compart Family Farms , Big Poppa Smokers , Blues Hog , Gateway Drum Smokers , Snake River Farms , BBQData.com

Usually when we travel and people wanna take us for BBQ, we usually leave disappointed. Not today! Went to Swig & Swine in Myrtle Beach, SC…and it was off the chain! Everything was fantastic, especially the brisket, sausage, the ribs, the sides…and damn that nutter butter pie was incredible. Service was also phenomenal. And as always, good BBQ is always better with family and friends. If you’re down here, give them a shot!
I've put up a new competition chicken trimming video on our YouTube page. Check it out if you wanna see how we make them exactly the same, every time. Big thanks to my guy Bill Purvis from Chicken Fried BBQ for helping me get this filmed!

I headed down to Visit Sevierville in Tennessee to cook the Bloomin' BBQ Music & Food Festival. First time down there and we had a great time with friends old and new. We also had a damn good cook with a 2nd place Compart Family Farms pork and fifth overall. A huge congrats to Blue Chip BBQ on RGC, and a big thank you to them for fixing my sink in the trailer. And congrats to Rooters and Tooters on GC!
And a big thank you to Walt Moulton for coming and running my boxes and helping out. His art skills on the pork and rib ranking smiley face system aren’t that good, but he sure was helpful in getting those socks off!
I’m staying in Tennessee for the KCBS World invitational BBQ this weekend in Nashville. Excited to see a bunch of friends and have a great time.
