LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR IN DILLARD, GA

We now have our first BBQ Contest under our belt “no pun intended”, and this is one of our favorite contest. We always liked this one as it is only a few miles from Clayton which is where we’ve spent several nice weekends at Kingwood Golf Club & Resort. Sue would let me get in an early morning round of golf and I’d tag along with her to all those Gift shops and antique stores they have.

The first pic is looking right out of my pop up cook site behind me and you can see Wooley Booley BBQ Mafia, his team did very well with a 16th overall finish (2 better than my own - there were 65 teams).



The folks you see here in the second pic were right next to us and the head cook is the one bent over his cooker.



This pic is of Big Bob Gibson and Chris Lilly was cooking and had a couple guys helping him. Chris was 5th overall and I’m betting he knew up front he would face a tough field and probably left pretty happy with that finish.




This is Wicked Q’s site and he just had not put up his Team Banner yet. You also get a better look at Big Bob Gibson’s big old rotisserie cookers. Wicked Q finished 7th overall and is in the top on about all contest he cooks.



The trailer on the left that you can’t read the entire team name is Firehouse BBQ Team and they finished 17th overall. The other one is Southern Paradise and I really like their banner and logo. Also in the background and to the right you see The Best Of British BBQ and they must have really wanted to cook this contest to have came from so far away and they sure got a lot of attention all weekend.




The City Hall building is where we were served one of the finest breakfasts you could ask for. The white truck in the foreground belongs to Jeff of Primo Ceramic Grills and I tried to find out if the rack was for snow skiing in Aspen with all the money he must make selling those cookers but I never did find out for sure.





Looking out the main entrance - this contest is very successful and a lot of people went through those gates and paid to visit this festival with it’s Blue Grass music and other attractions such as our BBQ.




Fatboyz, Wild Bunch Butt Burners, and of course Bad Byron and his Buttrub.com team are all pictured here. Wild Bunch was 4th overall just behind Joe and Voncile of Smoky Mountain Smokers all of which we count as friends out there.



This big guy working at the red checkered table is Sam Grogan from McDonough, Ga and he and his wife Dianne are the Jus-Fer-Fun cooking team and they too are friends to us when we are out there and we are praying for Diane to pull through her battle with cancer.
