Hey guys, I have a few competition questions. First, I've only competed in 2 competitors and both of those at backyard level in FBA sanctioned contests. The first comp, my team got 2 calls. The second comp, we finished top 5 in 3 categories, with a 1st in pork, top 10 in the 4th and ended up reserve champ. All of this was really unbelievable and I honestly couldn't be happier with what we've done, but, all of our scores were in the high 180s (200 being perfect). We cook prime briskets, duroc butts and ribs, and all organic air cooled free range chicken. With that being said, I know we're missing something. I can't put my finger on it though. We inject, rub, wrap, blue magic, and so on. We make our own rubs and injections and figured that could be it. Been considering buying some Oakridge products. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Willing to share a few tips? I'm hoping to go pro at some point and be successful but I'd like to get my scores up in the mid 190s before making the jump. Thanks in advance.
