Heard that Smoking Yankees pulled a first place this weekend with a 180 in brisket.
Also thought I saw a photo, with Scooter as well.
Mega-Congrats, guys. Fill us in on the details.

Thanks guys! It was a great brisket and to do it up here with those low scoring NorCal judges made it even sweeter! ;)
Textbook pull test, tender, moist, great beef flavor, perfect color, it had it all. Although we didn't like the brisket out of the cryo at all! Interesting how things end up from a bad start.
Chris not only jumped off the stage, he got airborne off the stage. I thought he might crack one of his ankles! I was last off the stage and noticed nobody had grabbed our trophy. I looked back and the presenter was doing a victory dance on stage waving our trophy over his head! Hilarious! :)
It's a sweet feeling getting a 180. BP knows how it feels. Felt like we GC'd but we came in 3rd overall. Our pork tanked and took us out of the running for GC but truth be told, that 180 made it seem like we GC'd. Was a great weekend with friends and BBQ family. On to the next contest at one of BP's favorites up here in NorCal! Rubstock in Cameron Park the middle of next month.

Here's a pic of the slices
