Well I'm just sitting down while making up sauces, rubs, injections, and glazes that will hopefully carry us to the top in Austin tomorrow. It will be the first outing for our stumps trailer and we'll have Tristan, Rob and Paul and Mikey, and Jamo, Brandon and his friend to help us cook friday. Weather promises to be great - a big change from last year when the geer would not get up to temps in the snow and rain of last years contest. (we later discovered the pecan wood we were smoking was wet)
They'll be big changes in the way we cook this year;
First a new trailer and stumps classic smokers
Second a new style of cooking. To get better bark, no more wrapping, and to get better taste we are adding more heat! Enough of Minnesota's mystique of bland and sweet - we are going to definitely kick it up a notch tomorrow with a little lost word from my carribean past - habenero!
Third we are going back to our old sauce. I don't remember why we changed and after making up a batch tonight, think the decision to change was a very bad idea.
Fourth, we are keeping it simple. No fancy stuff just the meat, rub, and sauce...
Hot and Fast will hopefully rule the day, - updates to follow.
