Saturday’s cook started off ROUGH. 😅🔥

We’ll be the first to admit it — we BOMBED Saturday’s cook, but we weren’t going to let that be the end of the story.

We came back and redeemed ourselves with a nice Chicken Walk, followed by a 12th place Ribs and 14th place Brisket! 🐔🥩🔥

Unfortunately, that pork got the best of us and sent us back to 22nd, but that’s BBQ competition. Sometimes you’re the hammer, sometimes you’re the nail. 😂 We’ll take the lessons, go back to work, and come back swinging at the next one!

Big congratulations to First Class BBQ on the Grand Champion and So Smokin' Gooder Show on the Reserve Grand Champion! 🏆🔥 Well deserved, guys!

A HUGE thank you to Pit Boss Grills for letting us cook this entire weekend on the PBV5, PBV7, and the Tailgater. Those pits put in some serious work and helped us get through the cook! 🔥💨

And we can’t forget FabLab Metal for the custom carts that made loading, unloading, and moving our equipment around SO much easier. Having the right equipment makes a huge difference on a competition weekend!

Thank you to everyone who supports Old Tram Cookers. We may not have brought home the trophy this time, but we’re learning, improving, and coming back hungry. 💪🔥

Next cook… we’re coming for it. 🏆

Our final was 15th overall ! Couldn't have done this without Lonestar Smokestacks saving the barn yard game and my lady Selena Mitchell who kept me in order and on my butt about times flavors and techniques.. she rocks on comp days ! (Might love her ) sometime ... 😉
