Stop 13 - All shapes and sizes
Big D and I headed to Meridian, Texas for the National Championship BBQ Cookoff. Never heard of Meridian? I lived in Texas for about 15 years and never had either. Great city. Great people. Great event. Saw (and tasted) a little bit of everything... Custom smokers are the order of the day... Fire Trucks, Bulls, vintage refrigerators. We saw it all. And the obligatory tractor pull.
Tried sundry ribs, chicken, pork and brisket. Best brisket (though the judges won't make their decision for another hour or so) was smoked with... drumroll please... pecan wood.
