I have a special prayer request from all of the friends of Big Island. We have a brother-in-smoke and a friend in Lennox who recently found out he has Lymphoma AND fighting meningitis at the same time. He is in ICU and his name is Loren Haan. Two years ago he was by us at the Vermillion competition. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Another great showing for Big Island BBQ in Watertown at Cooking on Lake Kampeska! First of all Watertown puts on a great event in a great venue! We ended up 7th overall and we got 16th in ribs, 11th in chicken, 6th in brisket, and 1st in pork! The best part of the competition is seeing all of our BBQ brethren. Our next event is Ribs Rods and Rock N Roll in Vermillion on Sept 6th and 7th. It is going to be a wonderful time! A great band, Ledfoot Lucy will be performing Saturday night, so be sure to come down for a wonderful time.

Well, Big Island BBQ had a wonderful weekend despite 'Deadliest Catch' type weather and a Cyber Que probe giving us fits. We got 4 calls: 9th in Brisket, 6th in Chicken, 3rd in Pork and 4th Overall. This was our best finish ever. We did get to spend time with some great friends and create some wonderful memories. Our next KCBS competition is in Watertown, SD on July 19th 20th.
