Judges Tim Reith, NTV, and Adam Smith, KRVN, score one of the categories in the 2022 Oconto BBQ competition.
The grill masters of Smokin’ Smith hail from Gibbon, and the team took 3rd place overall on the day.
The ladies serving the cuisine at the Double D’s booth were enjoying the day - and could even be spotted cutting a little rug from time to time.
There was plenty of food to go around, as between the 11 BBQ cookers a total of 1,115 people were fed at the annual Blowin’ the Doors Off BBQ held June 4. (Courier photos by Ellen Mortensen)
