We're back from our latest competition, the Stumptown BBQ Cookoff in Whitefish, MT, our first cook in the US! It was a great event, we'll definitely be back again next year. There were a total of 17 teams this weekend, a lot of which we haven't had a chance to cook with before.<br />
<br />
We broke the Brisket Curse and got a call for 6th place in Brisket! We finished 8th overall with a 7th place finish in ribs, and 8th in both chicken & pork. Now that it seems like everything is coming together, we're looking forward to our final cook of the year at BBQ on the Bow, September 1-2.
