What is this BBQ thing of which you speak?
I may have a little experience to share. Here I am with my 3rd place trophy for ribs from a 65 team competition last June . . .
And these are our first place ribs from a competition a couple of years ago. We took 1st in ribs in back to back competitions that year.
And here I am with my niece from the second of those 1st Place Rib wins.
