Ever been one step away from getting disqualified on brisket? Yeah… this one got close.
In this video, I take you inside a full competition cook where everything is rolling smooth—until it’s not. From trimming and prep to turn-ins, this cook had some serious pressure behind it, and brisket almost cost me the whole weekend.
I’ll walk you through exactly what happened, how I handled it in the moment, and what you can learn so it doesn’t happen to you. Because in competition BBQ, it doesn’t take much to go from walking the stage… to walking out empty-handed.
If you’re a competition cook—or thinking about getting started—this is the kind of stuff nobody talks about, but everybody deals with.
