At the festival we had a poor location that put us off the main strip of rib vendors. The first day of the event didn't go well for us. Everyone at the festival was on the main strip and we only saw a portion of the large crowd. We were hearing good things about our ribs from the few customers we were able to salvage. The second day of the event was a different story. We sent out some employees to pass out samples. The word started to spread that we had the best ribs. This worked so well that we were able to draw the customers we needed to succeed. We were booming! We were able to produce over 300 slabs of ribs(some were precooked) and turn in our competition ribs in one day. We ended up winning first place for best ribs(the trophy stands about 3.5 feet high)! My buddy and i have had this business for only three months and we sell out of ribs every time we set up. The Smokin Tex smokers help us produce some of the best ribs i have ever tasted. Our customers seem to think so as well. We were able to beat barbeque masters who have been smoking for years. I think these smokers have a lot to do with that success. The smokers are very easy to transport, set-up, and clean. They are extremely durable and very cost effective compared to others on the market. I have never had any problems with these smokers and they keep producing award winning ribs time after time.
OK, How did you take first? What kind of deals were you getting on the side? Did you get any tattoos or give them any gold pants? What pawn shop were you dealing with? How about a new car? LOL!!!
Just messing with ya. I couldn't resist.
Nice job!
I would like to enter some BBQ cook offs sometime.
