Fire Dogg Cookers

We had a very good weekend, this was our first cook-off with Zayne's new pit. It was also the hottest one we have been too and I ended up getting sick. We got there Friday afternoon and the fun started. We just hung out and had a good time. We had 2 campers set up facing each other and set up our little "commune". It was us, J&A cookers (Mike, Kathy & Austin). We also had the Smokin' Aces (Richard & Teresea). We got up Sat morning and made breakfast (and got the Pitts started). I made Zayne's family famous beignets for everyone. Then the work started (in between going inside the camper to cool off). The categories were beans, open, ribs and brisket. Zayne tried his hand at beans (didn't place). I made my burgers and got 9th place, Zayne got 2nd on his ribs and 7th on his brisket. But the best part of it all, was we got overall champions--and the trophy is so cool. I do need to shout out a thank you to the Scafuri's. They were so great in letting us stay in their A/C and Mike has been a big help to Zayne in his venture of his own team. Zayne is really excited about our first venture on his own. I will post pictures below.
