There is interest from KCBS in highlighting HS cook teams/contests, this is the future competition cook pool.

If my HS years had competition BBQ, my working career could have taken an entirely different direction.

The Outlaw BBQ Association here in Texas allows for a 14 year old head cook as long as a legal guardian is present. So next year we may enter a comp close by.

Those young men have some great mentors.

It was a great day at the Ben Barber Regional in Mansfield yesterday.
These guys have worked hard this past year to hone their skills at competition BBQ.
This regional was sort of local, 62 miles from Prosper HS where we met up on Friday about 11:00am for the hour plus drive to Mansfield TX with all the gear and the offset smoker in tow. Once there, the team, along with others, sat in on three seminars discussing competition proteins preparation on cooking methods. At 4:30pm we could then unload our gear and our cooker in our 20'x20' area. The team then went to get a bite to eat before the 6:00pm Team meeting and pulling their number for meat selection order.

Early Saturday morning at 3:00am we met up again at the high school to load the coolers and a few other items for the hour drive back. Rolling in at 4:10am then waited till 4:30am to enter the comp area to setup everything for the day's competition and get ready to light the pits at 5:00am.

At 6:00am the chuck wagon bell is rung to signal three things. All mentors, coaches and others must be out of the team's 20'x20' cooking space, go select your proteins and you can now start preparations for your turn ins.

So, after a day winds and challenges, this is the results of their teamwork.

It was a good ride back to the HS in Prosper!

I rarely watch cooking shows, but I would watch this- if it was on tv.

P.s. Congratulations Happy!
