TruGrit BBQ

Want to try a run on these to see how it goes.

Selling some TruGrit BBQ Coozies (tall can) for $2 a piece. Selling these will help offset the cost of entry fees for competitions.

If you would like one, please venmo trugritbbqatl with your address and I will work on getting these out a couple times a week.

Introducing the Southeast BBQ Championship Join us as we extend our BBQ boundaries to all KCBS constests in the Southeast, encompassing the states bordering Georgia – Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama.

What a weekend! Picked up a trailer as the newest addition to TruGrit BBQ, shattered a step stool, about breaking a leg or tearing everything in it (I’m good, just a little sore) and then competing and seeing everyone for the season opener for most.

Not exactly where we wanted to be to start the season but lots to improve on. Lost my skin on my chicken and then LIT the judges up with spice on my ribs. They didn’t like that AT ALL! But that 17th in Pork felt great with a stacked field!

Congrats to Norala BBQ Team & Bourbon & Blues BBQ on their RGC & GC!

Thanks again Sip & Swine for a great event!

A big s/o to the crew of sponsors:
Union Brothers Meat Market
Willingham's World Champion BBQ

Time for some more practice and on to the next one!

Turn in boxes for today! Gotta get this chicken right before the next one! Awards at 5pET so we’ll see how I did afterwards! Great contest put on by BBQ Blues & Boogie! Will definitely come back next year.

Set up and ready to go here in Calhoun, GA for the BBQ & Blues Competition!!

Excited for another competition next weekend! Who all will be there?!

That Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary feeling of receiving my new smoker tonight! Limo Jr on deck from !!

What’d you smoke on 4/20!?! Ribs were my choice for the day! Even the lil man loved them!

Man am I excited to dive into this!!

My two goals:

1) Turn everything in on time✔️
2) Not get last place overall ✔️

Going into awards, I thought chicken was my best and pork was my worst. Well after awards, pork was my best and chicken was my worst! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chicken- 35/35
Ribs - 33/35
Pork - 19/35

Overall - 34/35

And I just looked, the table I was going up against in every category was the team who was the Grand Champion. So at least I got smoked by the overall champ!

This was the most fun I’ve had doing any type of competition. It’s addicting and the people there are great. So many willing to help, give advice and more. Even found a veteran team that wants to mentor me in Competition BBQ. I can’t wait for my next competition but before that, back to the lab!

Definitely better chicken than the last time and continuing to get better. Getting ready for the first competition this weekend with !

Haven’t posted in a minute but been busy getting some practice in for our first comp in March with ! More practice is ahead but excited for what’s happening so far!

The new addition to TruGrit BBQ! Can’t wait to fire up the Redbox this weekend!

My first smoked turkey that was all me!! The last time I helped smoke a turkey was my teenage years helping my Dad smoke them for others as a teenager. I miss him so much....

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
