A Wet and Wild Third Place Victory
This past weekend we traveled to Sayville, NY to participate in the 3rd annual Battle of the BBQ Brethren. 48 teams from across the country came together and fought off a crazy storm Saturday night that featured blown power, high winds, lightening and about a foot of water flooding our sites.
But we made it through, cooking by flashlight and without remote temperature gauges since they seemed to have been effected by the humidity. In the end, we were unable to repeat our 2008 victory but took first in pork shoulder, fifth in brisket and 3rd place overall, marking the end of another great year of competition BBQ. Check out the storm below:

This post reminded me of one of those "Live on the scene" hurricane reports.

Great cook guys, awesome job! Yes, it was a wild storm...we had a beer in one hand and holding down the pop-up tent in the other. -Meat @ Slim's

Congrats to you all on the GC! Some great scores out there. Hopefully next time we'll get a chance to properly meet.
