Smokin' in a Hurricane

9/20/2018

We have cooked in a lot of types of weather, but this was another first. Cooking in a hurricane. Hurricane Florence didn't cancel the contest. Teams competing were about half, because so many teams were coming from some of the hardest hit areas.

Friday was a bit breezy. Saturday with wind guts of 40-50 mph and sustained wind of 30 mph and rain.

Brian fell both in and out of the trailer. Early Sat morning he fell coming in the door, hit his shoulder and yep, torn rotator cuff. Then Saturday afternoon , he fell coming down the ramp.

We had another first for the weekend, the first team to win the People's Choice, 3 years in a row. Also. managed a 8th in brisket and 11th in pork.
