hi Ron , i hope that July 21 fits in with you . yes we did taste offerings from other teams that were very good . winners are the teams who can be on time and keep it moist , have your turn in box look so good that the judges would think to themselfs " is this something i would pay for " have good texture and have excellent taste . then hope you can please ALL the judges ! good fun and harder than one my think . there is a lot of food around on sat afternoon . as for the Montreal Smoked Meat , cold smoking usually is around 80 to 110 degrees , although in the past i have done eye of the round , brined two weeks then smoked at higher temps . it is something that my friends and i liked . reg
