Pleasant Hill MO April 2,3 2010

Our 2nd contest of the year was in Pleasant Hill MO. This is the first time we have competed at this contest, but from its reputation its a contest we had to cook. Jeff Stith and Stan Cook are some of the best organizers in KCBS and let me tell you these guys do one hell of a job putting on a contest. We took the trailer out on Thursday night to get it out there early. Friday, Will picked me up and we were out there by 9:30. We got everything set up by 11:00 and then out of no where, we had a storm blow through. It was somewhat breezy for a while but we survived. It rained a lot throughout the day but it finally cleared late in the day.




All the rain left a lot of mud. As I write this, I wish I would have taken a picture, of the amount of dirt we had in the trailer. Will said he swept and mopped the floor 2 times to get it clean. We got to cooking around midnight Friday night. Went to bed and got up early Saturday morning to get the briskets started. Like North KC we were on schedule and we were happy that things were going as planned.

We got everything turned in on time and we were pretty happy with the what we turned in., unfortunatley the judges had a diffrent opinion.

Overall we finished 23rd out of 65 teams. 41st in Chicken, 44th in Ribs (We learned a valuable mistake we mad that Matt will keep to himself LOL), 15th in pork and 15th in Brisket.

Our next contest is 4-23-10and 4-24-10 in Sugar Creek MO
