Dropped in to meet the local team at Meat Direct. Having a quality local supplier right on our doorstep makes sourcing top-tier proteins for upcoming comps so much easier.
Super impressed with their selection and top-notch service—cracking bunch of guys
You can check them out online or order directly from their website.

I walked away with a lovely piece of Rump Cap for Picanha and that's gone straight on the pit today

Cambridge Sunday morning before heading home we had time to check out the Whole Hog Comp. Here's a few pics you might be interested in.

The criteria for Whole Hog is to cook the pig in your style of pit

Once the pig is cooked you display the pig with a theme.

Judging consists of 6 judges
They come to your site and judge on this criteria
Tell a story to the judge about his hand in
Lastly taste, texture and presentation
Possibly might have missed something.

Just by the pics taken these pigs look amazing

Boy another great weekend at King of the Mountain BBQ Competition.
The weather played ball after the the weather man said it would Rain with strong winds.

The team was very relaxed especially when it's been 5 months since our last comp.

So how had did we fare:

Mixed results but we are consistent across the proteins which gave us a 7th overall 🤩

Our best result was 5th for Ribs. We'll done Rebecca Paewai 😊

9th for Pork
9th for Brisket
11th for Chicken

Big thanks to Craig Leathley for putting on an amazing event 👏
Big thanks to Black Origin for the Brisket
