Skin that fights the bite. Meat that dries out while you wait on the score. You already know how it looked leaving your table. The sheet is what you have to explain on the drive home.
Saturday night and your name wasn't in the top 10
You already cooked the meat. You already spent the weekend. The sheet still does not match what you felt on the table.
4x Grand Champion | 80+ Top 10 Calls | KCBS World Championship Judge
Your core competition meats
A lot of teams cook good BBQ. Calls come from the box the judges actually score.
I walk chicken, ribs, pork and brisket the way I cook them when a call is on the line. Same order as turn-in.
Chicken that bites through
I thought my ribs were perfect. Then I got a 7.
You pull them when they feel done. They tighten on the rest. Judges score the bite from the box, not how they felt on your table.
Pork that hits the tenderness window
Too tight and they get docked. Too soft and they mush. Either way Saturday night ends without a call, and you are still replaying the pull on the drive home.
With a $300 brisket, you can't afford to make mistakes
Judges only score six pieces in a 9-inch box. If you are still cooking a packer like Sunday dinner, that is why you are not walking.

This is the recipe to use especially if you’re new to competition-style cooking. I did this in a small charity tournament…We took first place with this method, beating out a couple teams that actually compete in sanctioned events.

The tips in this entire video is great! I see so many areas I can improve and see so many areas where I have been second guessing myself! Great video thank you for this!

I followed your instructions to a T and won second place in an amateur barbecue competition last weekend here in Williamsburg, VA. The flavor and bite-through were perfect! Thanks for all the great advice!
