FEATHER FALLS PART TWO


The skies were dark and full of smoke. The smell of smoke was not all sweet bbq, but of a fire in Bangor, California 10 miles away. This did not put a shadow over the festivities at the 'Feather Falls BBQ Cook-off 'in  Oroville California. This was the second event in a three parts series. Ms. Goofy and yours truly were in attendance with our judges badges bright and shiny. These contests just seem to get better and better.



Eating some of the best BBQ ever is only one of the facets of this event. The chance to visit and swap stories with our bbq friends makes it all worthwhile. We pick up tips and suggestions for our cooking at home. These events are a great resource for the latest and best bbq equipment available. I always make it a point to show Ms. Goofy bbq pits that would make a good fit to our household. The Christmas wish list has been filled several times.





It was another great smoke filled weekend. Congratulations to "Big Shot BBQ' for winning the 'Grand Champion" trophy. There will be the third installment of this bbq series in October. Stay tuned for details.

    I like that double stack UDS. I've seen Big Bertha's before but not in that configuration.

    Chris, It is pretty amazing that people can compete with UDS smokers. Quit a few people use them.

    UDS's are fairly easy to compete with Chilebrown. Hook up a DigiQ and they are a snap. But, they are not good in cold weather. Not a problem in your neck of the woods...

    Three Dogs BBQ, Most competitors around these parts use Stokers including myself. The UDS just seem inefficient to me. Of course I have never cooked with one so I really do not know what I am talking about.

    Do you like you Stoker? Never tried one. Always used a DigiQ.
