If ever in Tx stop by and give Finch BBQ a try! Take a minute to read an amazing article on them and their journey so far into BBQ.

Their BBQ Sauce Is a Hit at Central Market. Why Is There No Line at Their Food Trailer? The Finches have been selling their bottled barbecue sauces and rubs for years, but they are still hoping their new Finch Craft BBQ trailer will catch on.

First competition of the year is officially in the books, and man… what a way to start it. We rolled into Panther Island Pavillon in Fort Worth for the long‑awaited return of the Cowtown Cookoff & Music Festival, hosted by the Fort Worth Cops 4 Kids, and this competition did NOT disappoint, drawing 56 championship caliber teams.

The vibe was electric — music, crowds, smoke rolling in the air — exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when you’re kicking off a new season. We locked in, cooked our cook, and here’s how it shook out:

🐔 4th Place Chicken
🐖 13th Place Ribs
🐮 No‑Call Brisket (she stayed sleeping this weekend)
🔥 8th Place Overall

Not the perfect cook, but a damn strong start to the year and a great way to knock the dust off.

Huge shoutout to the FWPOA, the Outlaw BBQ Association, and Laura and Judy for running a smooth judging area. Also huge congratulations to Aj George with Okie Folks Barbecue on his GC and the birthday boy Brian Colter with Rope and Choke Competition Bbq Team on his RGC. Also congrats to everyone who heard their numbers called! Season’s officially underway — let’s go!

Huge thank you to James Page with Patriot BBQ 903 for suppling us with drums and everything to cook, even being the real reason why we were able to take home 4th in the Rib Cook Off Association competition on Friday night.
