Smokin’ 42 BBQ Takes Grand at Smokin’ Pork N Butts

It was cold and wet weekend in Jackson & Butts County, GA, but even the weather could not douse the hot streak that Smokin’ 42 BBQ has been on. The team in black from Tifton, GA, captured their 4th Grand Championship of the 2013-204 GBA season. Once again, it was Pork Loin that gave Pitmaster Chad Brooks and teammates Chris O’Neal and Justin Marchant the last call of the day.

Grand Champion – Smokin’ 42 BBQ

Reserve Champion – Fletcher’s Finest

The rain was almost constant during the day Friday and continued throughout the night and most of the day Saturday. Temperatures dropped into the bone chilling range, but the tough conditions for the weekend didn’t dampen the spirits of the contestants. The cook teams took it all in stride and produced some outstanding BBQ for the judges.

Scott Fletcher of Fletcher’s Finest, made finals in Ribs to go along with a 4th place finish in Pullled Pork and a 5th place finish in Loin to take the Reserve Grand Champion award.

Loin Finalist – Where There’s Smoke

Smokin’ 42 BBQ championship winning box topped the Pork Loin field. Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack was the runner-up. Cooking in their first GBA contest, Daniel Waters of Where There’s Smoke made finals & finished third. 92 BBQ came in 4th with Fletcher’s Finest taking 5th place. Another first time GBA competitor, Squeal Team Six/K&K Grills took 6th place. Seventh place went to a hometown team, Just Smoke N Around. Butt Rubbin’ BBQ claimed 8th place with BCD: Boys Cooking Dangerously and Dixie Que rounding out the top 10.

1 Place Pulled Pork – Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack

Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack continued their strong run through the GBA contest season by winning the Pulled Pork category. Brad Sweet and 92 BBQ took 2nd place with Rub Shakers Que taking third. Fourth place went to Fletcher’s Finest and 5th place went to Dixie Que. Bubba Grills got the call for 6th place with BCD: Boys Cooking Dangerously getting the 7th place call. Butt Rubbin’ BBQ, Squeal Team Six/K&K Grills and Smokin’ 42 BBQ finished 8th, 9th & 10th respectively.

Fletcher’s Finest turned in the best Rib box of the day. Bill Goddard & Rub Shakers Que made finals twice & took 2nd place. TC’s BBQ captured 3rd place. Dixie Que & Where There’s Smoke tied for 4th with Dixie Que winning the spot on the 4th tiebreaker. Another local team, Rufus Smokehouse came in 6th place. Seventh thru 10th place went to BubbaGrills, Smokin’ 42 BBQ, 92 BBQ and Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack.

The GBA extends gratitude to Connie & Wayne Rosser and the Jackson Exchange Club for a job very well done in the face of very trying conditions. The next stop on the GBA contest trail is the 3 Rivers BBQ Fest at Towns Bluff Park & Heritage Center in Hazlehurst on May 2-3. The following week the GBA heads north to Acworth for Smoke on the Lake. An new contest has just been added to the GBA Calendar. The Paulding Co.

Smokin’ 42 BBQ Earns First Grand Championship at Smoke on the Lake

Smokin’ 42 BBQ Earns First Grand Championship at Smoke on the Lake

It’s a long haul up I-75 from Tifton to Acworth. The trip back down the interstate after the Smoke on the Lake contest didn’t seem quite as long for Smokin’ 42 BBQ with their first Grand Championship trophy riding shotgun. However, the win didn’t come easy the Men in Black. For the first time in GBA history there was a three way tie for Grand Champion. Bubba Grills won the Pork Loin category; Rub Shakers Que won Pullled Pork and Smokin’ 42 BBQ was tops in Ribs all with a score in the final round of 599.1. The contest reps had to go thru eight levels of the tiebreaker system before Smokin’ 42 BBQ edged out the other two teams.

Grand Champion – Smokin’ 42 BBQ

Bubba Grills continued his strong run through the 2012-2013 contest season by making finals in both Loin and Ribs. These scores helped the team accumulate the top total score in the preliminary rounds and win Reserve Grand Champion.

Reserve Grand Champion – Bubba Grills

Rub Shakers Que, cooking in their first GBA contest, joined the GBA 600 club with a perfect 600 score in the Pulled Pork preliminary round. They followed up with the top score on the Pulled Pork finals table to take first place in the category. Smokin’ 42 BBQ took second place. Two more first time GBA competitors, Smoke Ring Aficionados and Drums A’ Smokin’, finished third and fourth respecitively. Jason Adams of Anarque came in fifth.

Lonnie Smith, pitmaster of Bubba Grills, topped the field in Loin with Anarque in second and Jethro’s Cooking Crew in third. Smoke Ring Aficionados edged out Butt Rubbin’ BBQ for fourth place by 0.2 of a point.

Smokin’ 42 BBQ turned in the best Ribs of the day. Bubba Grills was runner-up and Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack took third place. But Rubbin’ BBQ and Rub Shakers Que rounded out the top five.

The GBA also held it’s first ever Cooking for Fun division at Smoke on the Lake. The Cooking for Fun division is for teams who love to cook and want to get started in the GBA style of competitive BBQ. Cooking for Fun contests have lower entry fees than a regular GBA contest and do not have a finals round. The Fat Guys had the highest scoring box of the day with a 595.1 in Pulled Pork to take the Grand Championship.

Cooking for Fun Grand Champion – The Fat Guys

The Fat Guys also has the highest cumulative score over the three categories, but since they won Grand Champion, the Reserve Grand Championship passed down the the second highest cumulative score by Direct Lender BBQ.

Cooking for Fun Reserve Grand Champion – Direct Lender BBQ

The Fat Guys won the Chicken category with Squealz on Wheelz in second and Red Top BBQ in third. Holy Smokers NS took first in Ribs followed by Hickory Flat BBQ and Direct Lenders BBQ. It was The Fat Guys again getting the first place call. This time for Pulled Pork. Sweet Bottom BBQ was the runner-up and Direct Lender BBQ again took third place.
