Finally showed at his house this morning. He bought a wonderful custom made Gator Pit. It looks great and he is seasoning it as we speak with some good lump charcoal and rubbing it down with veggie oil. Will get some pics up in a bit!

The Smoke on The Beach BBQ competition took place this past weekend in Myrtle Beach. The BBQ-4-U Competition team was there and ready to win. This event is sanctioned by the South Carolina BBQ Association.

There are two catagories..."Pork" and "Anything butt" which is an open recipe category.

In "Anything Butt" the BBQ-4-U team took FIRST PLACE!!! Congrats guys!

In the pork category they were not as successful finishing 13th out of 16 teams.

All in all, everyone had a great time and were thankful for the opportunity to not only compete, but, meet some of the other forum members for the first time!

This is it...the "World Series" of BBQ. This is the biggest event in BBQ! It is going off this weekend and promises to be one of the best in recent history! Be sure to visit the American Royal website for full details...I will report back on the happenings.

By the way, if you happen to be in Kansas City, you'd better stop by and treat yourself to this once in a lifetime event!
