At the Ellesmere A&P Show
Last weekend i packed my suitcases for another lash at a solo cook down in christchurch
It was a full on weekend, thankfully the weather gods played nice this time and southland really turned on an amazing show!

Overall I placed 4th behind Smokesman Competition Bbq Team in 3rd, in second and BEERS for first. Super stoked with that in a well
