Back to Back Grands for Smokin’ 42 BBQ

 

The “Black Train” from Tifton, GA is on a serious roll in the Georgia Barbecue Assocation. Fresh off a Grand Championship earlier this month in their hometown contest, Smokin’ 42 BBQ made it two Grands in a row with a win at the Durhamtown Moonshiners BBQ Festival in Union Point, GA.  As in Tifton, the team’s Pork Loin entry was the highest scoring box in the finals round.
