Porkin' Ain't Easy Competition Barbeque Team

After working on recipes most of the summer, after our disappointing, but expected finish at the Mills Mall BBQ competition, we entered the Ballwin BBQ Bash under our new team name of Porkin' Ain't Easy.  We did relatively well, which made all of the practice over the summer seem worthwhile.  Below are the results:
