Well the status of this year's contest was shaky to say the least. A week or so before the contest word was that it was to be cancelled due to lack of interest and team participation.

My entry had been sent in months before, and even I was worried as I hadn't received the normal cook's packet in the mail and the website (which is normally dreadfully outdated) was in even more disarray.

We've sent in our application for our next contest. Oinktoberfest in New York. I've heard nothing but good things about this venue, and I'm really looking forward to it. We'll probably be taking off Friday to get set up. Hopefully our whole team will be able to make it and as always we can take pre-orders for Big Green Eggs and accessories. We even have some stock of Wicked Good Competition Blend left if anyone needs some.
