Smokestack Lightning Strikes for Grand Championship at Dilly Dally in Dooly
The Georgia Barbecue Association (GBA) along with the Dooly Co Chamber of Commerce combined to bring a second professional BBQ competition to the Big Pig Jig site in Vienna. With 54 teams, Dilly Dally in Dooly became the second largest contest field in GBA history. The contest drew teams from both GA & FL as well as Poor House Bar-B-Q, pitmaster Dan Jameson, who made a 20 hour drive down to south GA from Caanan, New Hampshire.
Grand Champion – Smokestack Lightning
Getting the last call of the day for Grand Champion was Steve Holmes and Smokestack Lightning. The team topped the finals rounds with a score of 597.8 in Loin. It was the team’s first Grand Championship. Taking the Reserve Grand Championship by making finals in Ribs along with 4th place in Loin & 8th place in Pulled Pork was Team Pork Rindz led by pitmaster Scott McCormick.
Reserve Champion – Team Pork Rindz
The Loin competition was especially tough as all three finals teams recorded a perfect 600 score in the preliminary rounds. Team Pork Rindz missed the finals round by just 0.3 of a point with a 599.7. Following Smokestack Lightning in Loin was Reallicious Q in second place and Hootie Q in third.
Tim Coleman & Real South BBQ won the Pulled Pork category followed by Budmeisters as runner-up. Hootie Q edged H and J Cooking Team on a tiebreaker for third in preliminaries to qualify for finals and finished 3rd in the final round.
Holy Smokes, Gary & Dionn Lanton, took top honors in Ribs. Bite My Butt BBQ scored a perfect 600 in the preliminary round and finished second in the finals. Team Pork Rindz rounded out the top three.
The contest held a Brisket ancillary competition. Captain Jack’s Freedom BBQ Team, Jack & Sandi Falin, walked for the first place call. Holy Smokes took 2nd place with Reallicious Q taking third.
The GBA thanks the staff of organizers & volunteers for Dilly Dally in Dooly on putting on a very successful first year event. We look forward to growing it bigger & better in 2018.
