Bethel Smokers Takes Grand at Jekyll Island BBQ Beach Bash

Grand Champion – Bethel Smokers

The Georgia Barbecue Association traveled to Jekyll Island, GA for the first contest of 2014. The Brunswick Lions Club hosted the event & the Golden Isles turned out in record numberst. At one point Saturday, traffic was backed up for miles on the causeway leading to the beach front contest & festival site.

Mr Joe Wright, Pitmaster of Bethel Smokers, made finals in both Pork & Ribs, but it was his final round Pork entry that scored a 599 out of a possible 600 points that got the last call of the day. Inside sources tell us that the secret to the team’s success is all in the shoes.

Reserve Grand Champions – Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack

Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack came to Jekyll Island short handed, but Clint & Mandy Britton were up to the challenge. The husband & wife team made finals in Loin along with fifty place finishes in both Pork & Ribs to capture the Reserve Grand Championship.

In Pork Loin, 29 Barbecue, cooking in their first GBA contest, grabbed first place honors. Legal Smoke took second place with Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack in third. Smoke Risin’ BBQ Joint came in fourth with Fiddler’s BBQ in fifth place.

Bethel Smokers topped the field in the Pulled Pork category. Dixie Que was the runner up. Old Henry’s BBQ made finals for the first time in a GBA contest & took home third place. There was a tie for fourth place between 29 Barbecue and Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack. It went to the 4th level before 29 Barbecue won the tiebreaker.

Smoke Risin’ BBQ Joint from Blackshear had the best Ribs entry of the day. Legal Smoke BBQ took second place. Bethel Smokers captured third with Fiddler’s BBQ taking fourth place. Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack finished in fifth place just a half point ahead of Naked Dave’s BBQ.

Jack’s Old South Edges Out Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack in Hawkinsville

Jack’s Old South Edges Out Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack in Hawkinsville

Grand Champions – Jack’s Old South

Some of the top names in the world of competition BBQ turned out for the Hawkinsville Harvest Festival Pigs & Produce BBQ Cook Off, but the regulars on the Georgia Barbecue Association circuit were up for the challenge. When the smoke settled, the Grand Championship had to be decided by a coin toss. Jack’s Old South scored a near perfect 599.1 in the Pork Loin finals. That was matched by Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack’s final Rib entry. The GBA officials compared the scores thru the tie breaker procedure and the two teams matched up exactly. That left it up to a coin toss and the winningest man in BBQ walked last once again.

Myron Mixon actually got his winning ways started in Hawkinsville. In 1996, Hawkinsville hosted a Memphis in May BBQ contest & Mixon won his very first Grand Championship at that event.

Reserve Grand Champions – Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack

Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack may have come out on the wrong end of the coin toss, but the team’s strong showing across the three GBA categories secured the Reserve Grand Championship. The team made finals both Ribs & Pork Loin .

Jack’s Old South score of 599.1 in Pork Loin topped the category. Sauced Hogs Smoke shack finished second with ComSouth High Tech Smokers finishing third.. BBQ Pitmasters star, Michael Character of Character’s Famous BBQ from Adairsville, GA, captured 4th place. Another BBQ Pitmasters alum, Moe Cason of Ponderoas BBQ, took 5th place.

1st Place Pulled Pork – 92 BBQ

In Pulled Pork, 92 BBQ in just their 3rd GBA contest, beat out all the big names & seasoned vets to capture their first category win. Smokin 42 BBQ was the runner up. Kelvin’s BBQ took third place. Cooking with Stump, another BBQ Pitmasters star, claimed 4th place. Jack’s Old South rounded out the top five.

Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack racked up a near perfect score in the Ribs Finals to win the category over Jack’s Old South, second place, and Ponderosa BBQ, third place. Smokin’ 42 BBQ came in 4th place with ComSouth High Tech Smokers claiming 5th place.

Cooking with Stump Tops the Field in Tennille

When Walter “Stump” McDowell posed for the GBA camera flexing his muscles on Friday afternoon, it was a sign of things to come. The Cooking with Stump team of “Stump” and Tab “Mama Stump” McDowell notched a perfect score of 600 in the preliminary round of the Ribs category. They followed up with a near perfect entry in the Ribs Finals to capture the Grand Championship at the 7th Annual Tennille BBQ Blast. Full results of the contest are below

The Georgia Barbecue Association (GBA) has been honored to be a part of one the great small town festivals in the state for the past three years. Huge crowds filled the streets of Tennille Friday and Saturday to enjoy great food, good music and crafts vendors. The GBA thanks the Tennille Downtown Development Authority, the Tennille Fire Department and everyone associated with the contest for their hospitality.

Grand Champions – Cooking with Stump

Another team that flexed its cooking “muscles” was Sweat’s BBQ. Pitmaster Lee Sweat made finals in all three categories to win Reserve Grand Champion. The team finished second in both Loin and Ribs and took third place in Pulled Pork. Sweat’s also took first place in the ancillary Poultry category and second place in the Brisket ancillary.
