It was a pretty successful weekend coming away with:
5th ribs
4th pork
3rd Chicken
2nd brisket
GRAND CHAMPION!!
That’s 1st over all for the weekend!

Really is a dream come true, and so soon in our competitive BBQ journey is an unreal feeling.
And to run everything on cookers like usual was amazing, so hard to beat the flavour and consistency of these smokers.

Thanks our neighbours and and helping things run smoothly, , you’re a dead set legend mate.

Thanks heaps to , Luke, and Greg for a super smooth running event.

Big congratulations to for
getting RGC, it was super tight at the top.
Also to all the teams that got a call and a walk.

Can’t do this without the support of my wife and our amazing sponsors

Congratulations Big Bark BBQ (Texanz BBQ) for their second straight 1st place Brisket win cooking in a Pit Barrel Cooker Co. at Brewton this weekend.

Josh & the team were the first in the country to compete with the PBX and managed a top 5 finish using them and the PBCooker.

It's never easy to back up a first place - but a whole lot easier when you've got the consistency of the Pit Barrel to rely on!

Congratulations to Texanz BBQ on their fantastic placing (5th over-all) at n Smoke at the Westshore Beach Inn this weekend.

They managed a 298 (out of 300) Brisket score to bring a 1st place brisket trophy home, cooked on the one and only Pit Barrel Cooker Co. PBCooker

Well done Josh & the Big Bark BBQ team!

What a weekend!
2nd competition of 2022, and we had a good one.

9th place chicken
1st place brisket
5th place overall

We cooked a couple of briskets, one of which was one of the fantastic 100 day grain finished Angus beef, bits of both went in the hand in box and got us a 298 out of 300 score with only presentation letting us down! These bad boys have incredible flavour.
We rubbed it in the one and only beef rub and layer of a new unreleased one. Seems that combo goes alright 😉.

Huge congrats to Mile Marker 66 Barbecue for back to back Napier GC’s and chosen q for RGC.
Thanks for the work you do on this comp Brendan

Thanks to our sponsors for help us make this happen:

Kiwi's love lamb and better still Lamb on the barbecue on a cool winters night.

Pit Barrel user Derrick sent in these pics of his latest cook - Lamb Ribs on the PBCooker with Rum & Que RamRod with cherry wood chunks.

Seasoned while the PBCooker heated up and laid on the rack, these ribs were cooked for 5 hours with just a water spritz on the flap end once an hour.
