A huge thank you goes out to the 24 cook teams who braved the heat to compete in Friday evening’s wings, Saturday’s butts competition and a cooker sponsored ribs throw-down. We’d like to extend a very special thank you to the 14 teams who prepared novice boxes and gave our instructors and novice judges something to talk about.
A thank you also goes to the 5 tables of judges who braved Saturday’s heat to judge some of the best BBQ and ribs in SC and 3 tables of novices who learned from three of the best instructors. Special thanks go to the novice judges who came out Friday evening to help with the wings competition.
Congratulations to the winners.

On the SCBA side, hats off to David McClaurin who stepped in at the last minute to calculate for Judy Lindsey who was by Tony’s side on Saturday and Jason Doss who assisted David. We couldn’t have done it without our table captains Bill Walsh, William Holliday, Mike Sexton, Pamela Brubacher and Andreann Geise and our novice instructors Greg Gladney, Brian Snavely and Joe Standridge. As always, Diane Gladney and Marcia Adkins did an awesome job on the receiving table and a shout-out has to go to our volunteer runners who kept the Q coming.
Lastly, we would like to thank Clay Greer for making this an easy event to judge and ensuring we had plenty of cold water to keep everyone hydrated and all the folks who assisted.
Teena and Michael Bohm
