OK, after a 60 day hiatus from KCBS contests (was doing classes and PNWBA-sanctioned contests), SYD is back in the top US national KCBS rankings: 1st chicken, 2nd brisket, and 4th overall.

Will be on a contest blitz the next few weeks competing almost every weekend leading up to the time I leave for Heathrow.
Am very excited and looking forward to meeting my BBQ kin folk in the UK.
I just did an interview for the Burn Blog here
