BBQ N Tailgating

Greenfield BBQ

My Dad, my brother and I went to the Greenfield BBQ competition.  It was our first BBQ competition / festival.  We were expecting to have mainly ribs but I wasn't expecting the two racks we had to be so different.

But first, a bit about the competition.  Everyone who entered had to make: a rack of ribs, a pulled pork, chicken and brisket.  People had all kinds of crazy grills and smokers.  Check these out!

This grill is the size of my brother and he's the biggest kid in his class.

This smoker is made out of a wine barrel.  The guy claims that he made it himself.  It looks really cool!

This is way smaller.  That shows how different the shape and size of the grills can be in this place.

Now let's get back to talking about the ribs.  We had two totally different racks.  One was from Phat Boyz.  These ribs were a dry rub and were really spicy.  Their grill was pretty cool though and their sign was even better.

We also had a rack from Cliffs Backyard BBQ and my Dad had a brisket sandwich.  I liked these ribs much better.  They were sweeter and really thickly seasoned (sometimes too much) but they had a good smoke and they were moist.

TAILGATING
The next day we had another BBQ adventure while tailgating at the Patriots game.  They were playing the Saints and my Dad and I were with my Cousin Erik and my Uncle Jon.

My Dad smoked these ribs in his Weber Smokey Mountain Bullet.  They were like Cliff's only a little less seasoned, more meaty and AMAZING!  Here's some photos of him making them and his smoker.

All in all it was an awesome weekend!

Oh look at the time, it's time for me to chickinout!  Good eatin' and BBQ bye.
