Title: Transplanted to Texas
Post by: Jurena12 on September 03, 2010, 04:29:47 pm: Hey everyone. For those who remember, my dad and I used to compete with yall in Az under the name Pappa Charlies BBQ. We both ended up working in Texas (him in Houston and me in Dallas). We are gearing up for our first competition together since mid 2009. Since I now have my own responsibilities @ the competitions (rather than making sure we always had beer and making sure the fires didnt go out) I decided to join a couple of the communities myself. Stay tuned for pictures from the Bedford Blues and BBQ Festival this weekend. Glad to be in touch with yall again, and hopefully well get back out there to compete with yall soon!

The Annual Dave's Birthday Bash--oh sorry, the Annual Pulte BBQ Competition is November 13 this year. That'd work! Are you in Dallas proper? My daughter graduated from Mesquite High school in '99

I know we have competed there before and done ok. It might be something we could actually pull off. No I'm actually in the Highland Village/Flower Mound area, but I have a few friends out in Mesquite. Well my friends, be looking. Sunday or monday I should have pictures and results posted. Wish us luck!

Ill post results when I get them (4pm CST) and pictures when I get home tonight. Anyone feel like sharing where I should post them? And yes ndablue, I would love to get the link to that Texas site so I can link up with some guys in my area who I can connect and compete with when I'm not under the Pappa Charlies flag.

Ironically, my two meats finished lowest..

3rd cook this year with very little practice due to relocation and sudden unemployment. It was fun to get back out amongst BBQ'ers though as Jared mentioned its easy to miss the AZ crew. I guess 7 comps in my initial year with all of you guys bred familiarity. Anyway, I've up loaded the only pictures I took, Jared may have some more.

We had a good time and Jorge from the Bretheren hung out with us and ensured we had plenty of Gentleman Jack on hand as well. It is a pretty well run competition and the Blues fest that goes on right next to the cooking area kept plenty of music going both in the afternoon and evening. One of the few KCBS comps in Texas. One team apparently was confused and turned in a half chicken.. ???

Should finances turn around we might come visit toward the fall to cook. Looks like TOY is shaping up to be a dandy in AZ.

The ez-up in the evening.

15th place Ribs out of 51

It was cooked like a 27th place brisket no argument with the score...
