Well, it has been too long between posts. Things here have been very busy as I have been preparing for Memphis in May and the World BBQ Cookoff.
Last week, while preparing to cook some brisket, I burned down my competition pit. It had been too long in between cleanings and our pit doesn't have a good grease drain......Anyway, as I closed the firebox, the fire jumped to the body of the cooker, blew open the doors and burned down the pit. Being an old refrigerator, the interior was made of aluminium. It didn't take long for that to completely melt.
The good news, I was not standing in front of it so I wasn't hurt. The bad news, it happened a week before the world BBQ cookoff. The other good news is that team member Pat Martin has almost finished his new rig and so we have a rig to use in Memphis; a nice one at that...We will also use the old horizontal.
I will write more next week from Memphis.
