The Pickled Pig competed in Abilene, KS this weekend. It was a fun contest. We finished 8th overall among a very good field of competition with a 1st in Cook's Choice (salmon), a 1st in Pork, and an 8th in chicken. Special thanks to Will Cleaver from Sticks-n-Chicks who was a guest cook for us this weekend. I couldn't have done this contest without his terrific help. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Brisket was the tail on the kite coming in 18th with a 6 judge appearance score of 7.33 . So please share any criticism on the brisket entry you have.

Congrats on your great wins this weekend! I was cooking with an old school bbq judge this past weekend who was talking about appearence on brisket. He was saying that he did not like the first impression of sauced brisket. He didn't mind the back of the slices sauced, but thought it affects appearence scores. To me that brisket looks close to perfect. I am surprised it didn't place. You pork and salmon on the other hand made me want a napkin and a tissue. |

Paul, It all looked good to me. Those were some meaty ribs. My only thought on the brisket is that because of the sauce, the meat looks 'mottled'. But unless it appeared worse 'in person' I certainly wouldn't have deducted points for some sauce being on it. Actually the first time I looked at the pictures I thought it looked the best of anything. Made me want to go by one to cook tonight. BTW: are these 'pre-made' putting greens, or made on site? Finney

Once we made the boxes on Thursday, we placed a damp paper towel on top of the greens and cut out a styrofoam damper from part of a clamshell that kept the greens from getting jostled during transport. All five boxes were transferred and touched up in about 20 minutes. The technique works like a charm.
