Last weekend was the National BBQ Cup in Cumming, GA. I judged this one last year (the first year of the event) and immediately realized that I should have competed!
First, it's an awesome site at the fairgrounds. Mostly flat and asphalt with permanent power and water for each team.
Second the organizer, Randall Bowman and his side kick John Hale are cooks and cooker manufacturers so they know how to treat the teams.
Third, what a name! Who wouldn't want to be able to say they won the THE NATIONAL BBQ CUP! Plus, being late in the year it drew big name teams from all over. And the awards custom carved by Brian Ruth and created my Pirate 50...wow.
So Noah (Nauti-Que) and I teamed up to compete. My plan was to try and take pics of each team and that plan went out the window so following are pics of many teams.
There are lots of pics so it may take me away. You'll know I'm done posting when you see the steam tractor that excitingly toured the event site late Sat. evening.
