Show Me the Que!

The "Roadkill Redeemer" is proud of the thick smoke ring on his beef brisket.  His friends crooned assent assuring him he'll be the champ. Smoke whisps filled with the savory and tantalizing smells of chicken, pork and beef have been curling up from the long row of grills and smokers since yesterday morning. This beef brisket from Roadkill Redeemers is being judged as we speak.  The group from Waverly, MO was the 2003 Grand Champion of the Missouri State Fair Backyard Bar-B-Q contest. I guess their motto has proved to be a good rule of thumb to follow: "If it tastes too strong... it's been dead too long!"
