It was cold and wet weekend in Jackson & Butts County, GA, but even the weather could not douse the hot streak that Smokin’ 42 BBQ has been on. The team in black from Tifton, GA, captured their 4th Grand Championship of the 2013-204 GBA season. Once again, it was Pork Loin that gave Pitmaster Chad Brooks and teammates Chris O’Neal and Justin Marchant the last call of the day.
Grand Champion – Smokin’ 42 BBQ
Reserve Champion – Fletcher’s Finest
The rain was almost constant during the day Friday and continued throughout the night and most of the day Saturday. Temperatures dropped into the bone chilling range, but the tough conditions for the weekend didn’t dampen the spirits of the contestants. The cook teams took it all in stride and produced some outstanding BBQ for the judges.
Scott Fletcher of Fletcher’s Finest, made finals in Ribs to go along with a 4th place finish in Pullled Pork and a 5th place finish in Loin to take the Reserve Grand Champion award.

1 Place Pulled Pork – Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack
Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack continued their strong run through the GBA contest season by winning the Pulled Pork category. Brad Sweet and 92 BBQ took 2nd place with Rub Shakers Que taking third. Fourth place went to Fletcher’s Finest and 5th place went to Dixie Que. Bubba Grills got the call for 6th place with BCD: Boys Cooking Dangerously getting the 7th place call. Butt Rubbin’ BBQ, Squeal Team Six/K&K Grills and Smokin’ 42 BBQ finished 8th, 9th & 10th respectively.
Fletcher’s Finest turned in the best Rib box of the day. Bill Goddard & Rub Shakers Que made finals twice & took 2nd place. TC’s BBQ captured 3rd place. Dixie Que & Where There’s Smoke tied for 4th with Dixie Que winning the spot on the 4th tiebreaker. Another local team, Rufus Smokehouse came in 6th place. Seventh thru 10th place went to BubbaGrills, Smokin’ 42 BBQ, 92 BBQ and Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack.
The GBA extends gratitude to Connie & Wayne Rosser and the Jackson Exchange Club for a job very well done in the face of very trying conditions.
