Here are some pictures posted by the Lakeside Smoker about yesterdays cook. NEBS members fed 150 people and raised a bunch of money for the Boston food shelf to provide thanksgiving dinners for the less fortunate. Chris Hart was the head cook and did a great job. My duties were to get Jed's Lang...

I'm cooking 4 butts and 70 slabs today, for catering and vending at Harpoon next weekend, I thought I post the link for some picks of Lake Placid and Wildwood. I didn't cook Wildwoodd (taught 2 classes) but my former teammates cooked in my spot. Lake Placid...

This topic often comes up, is comp cooking a sport and are comp cooks athletes. I always vote no. To be a sport you need athletes and to be an athlete (as a cook) you need to make an athletic move. Sure it takes stamina but BBQ cooks aren't athletes. Golfers make athletic moves and are...

This was posted on Basso's forum by Andy Stoddard, Hatch is on of my late night boy's. Hatch aka Kenny Baker from Dizzy Pig had a heart attack and is in CCU. He could sure use some good karma, warm wishes, prayers, or all of the above. No visitors yet. I'll post more when I know.

I received my application last weekend and Fed-Ex'ed it on Monday. Harpoon has to be the toughest contest to get into. Repeating teams get a week head start then applications go out to the other teams. Harpoon is the most cooker friendly and has to have the funnest Friday night on the circuit...

This past Friday was a big day for me. I personally started my 51st lap around the sun and my day got only better. My team has secured a BEER sponsorship for next season by a local brewery that we love. Six cases a contest. I also secured a meat sponsor for this year. A Northern New York farm...

Wow, I don't think I've ever had my chops busted as much as in the article re-caping the Oinktoberfest contest. I've heard about the article from others (including Wittdog) but until it was sent to me last week I didn't realize it was so bad. Yesterday I got my Bullsheet and saw it in all it's...

I have my pit fired up for probably the last time this year. Later I have a small catering job for a buddies daughter. From the beginning of May through Labor Day I cooked every weekend except three. I cooked 10 BBQ contest, came in the top 10 at 7 contests, and drove over 7000 miles. I think...

Has anyone tried a vacuum tumbler. I got one last week and have chicken in it right now. This is the forth time I've cooked chicken since I got it (practicing different marinades). They seem to work awesome, in 20 minutes the marinate flavor penetrates through the meat.

Mike, I always plan on 8oz total serving on the sides (1 cup) so you might be a little high. Depending on what size bun and the type of chicken pieces you use then the pork and chicken are probably good. I'd try to use a larger bun and figure around 6oz per sandwich. Chicken is real cheap, I'd...

I spent the weekend cooking. Friday night I cooker 32 pork butts, when they came off the pit on Saturday I cooked 40 slabs of ribs then on Sunday cooked 60 chicken drum sticks. Five cans of doctored #10 cans beans and 23 pounds slaw. My catering licenses allow me to cook at home and on site. I...

Two weekends ago (August 20th) my wife and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. I spent the weekend judging a BBQ contest in New Paltz NY, she went to a air show in Burlington VT. After the brisket turn in I hustled home (4 hour drive) so we could go to a nice French restaurant for dinner...

I got home late last night after a fun weekend. New Holland is my favorite contest and one I seem to score well in. I'd like to thank everyone for their well wishes after the contest and congratulate Chris for getting his boxes in on time. Next contest you cook you should go out and visit the...

Last week in Bel Air MD, I practiced for new Holland here are a few pictures. http://www.lostnationvt.com/belair06.htm

If anyone is going to Bel Air MD next weekend, stop by. I'm hoping to get to the site earlier than last year ( I snapped a spindle off the axle on my overloaded pit when I hit a pot hole in north Jersey). There were cooks behind me last year who told me about this site, I forget who they were...

It's official, I sent in my application for the Oinktoberfest. I've never cooked that far out west. I wonder what flavor profile to use, maybe Frank's Hot Sauce?

Here are a few from Harpoon. The first few I took at around midnight to show non competitors what goes on at night. There were a few card games, cooks chilling and the movie was Blues Brothers. We'll add more pictures to my site from the other cameras of our team. Myron came back to the site at...

At this weekend's contest , Harpoon , they let the teams vend. Last year I did a half-ass attempt and made some money and had a ball. This year I'm cooking 60 slabs extra ribs along with a few extra butts, hot dogs ( every one who comes to a contest asks if we sell them) and chicken drum sticks...
