Here's Tuffy Stone - Cool Smoke arriving at Dillard.

Just out of interest, did the judges make any comments that point you in the right direction for those 50 points or is it left to guess work trying to figure out what they want?

All the best,

Lee

Lee it's pretty much left to guess work - sometimes you will get a comment card but it's rare - we had a card this time from judge number 1 who scored our pork 9 for appearance 8 for taste and 9 for tenderness and they said 'a little too salty otherwise it would have been a 9' which is perfect. Judge 5 scored the same pork as a 5 in taste and therefore should've given a comment card but didn't?

They're a fickle bunch then

I assume you borrowed or hired equipment, and bought all your ingredients locally? Did you find that to be a handicap?

We had 3 lists. Stuff to borrow, stuff to buy and stuff to take. We borrowed only things that we couldn't take such as gazebo smoker tables etc. We took anything that could fit in a suitcase and bought the rest. It's always funny going through customs with a suitcase full of strange looking powders, small electrical items with probe wires and knives! Definately no handicap at all the only handicap was the gap in the ability - but hopefully we can change that a bit in our favour next time out.
