Just like hockey or soccer or baseball, I consider BBQ to be my competitive sport.
We also have provincial rankings through the Canadian Southern BBQ Association's BBQ amateur virtual BBQ circuit.
Results were posted today and I learned that Heart of Gold BBQ (HOG BBQ) is currently ranked 1st out of more than 30 teams in the CSBBQA.
Our fellow competitor Cory Wiseman from Cochrane and his one-man team Newfie Q is currently ranked third.
There is one competition left in October in Quebec and an Ottawa competitor of the team Boy meets Grills could still take the lead. I will not be competing in that competition.
All the BBQ practice has paid off and Andrea and I are happy with our rankings, even if we do move down to 2nd place between now and October.

What a great event we had in Timmins today. It was a bit on the chilly side during set up (4C) but our smokers warmed us up and the warmth and friendliness of Timmins residents created a great day.
Thanks to the 7 teams listed below who participated in this first year event. 4 of the teams were local and 3 were travelling teams.
Here are the results.

Last BBQ competition of the Season
Well this is it.... The Northern BBQ season wraps up this Saturday (sept 12th) with a competition here in Timmins.
I still have room for a few last minute teams, but it would be certainly easier to plan if I find out early.
Up for grabs is a 1000$ Broil King Keg compliments of Timber-Mart and Energy Mizers here in Timmins.
2nd prize is a love and Romance Package from Cedar Meadows Resort.
This is the first competition I ever attend where Andrea wants me to place 2nd!!
Prizes for 1st ribs and 1st chicken are 100$ gift cards from Canadian Tire.

Many other prizes and gifts to be won thanks to generous local sponsors.
Should be a blast. Hopefully, Heart of Gold BBQ can smoke out the competition at this event.
