[haileydee]

Hey, I hear there is going to be a BBQ competition at the concert!!! That sounds like it would add a lot to the festivities. Anyone out there have any informtation on it?

[Thom]

Yes indeed I will be the Head Judge there
It is a sanctioned contest with teams coming in from all over the west.
Going for $10,000 in cash and awards.
Saturday and Sunday we will have Peoples Choice Ribs.
Both days our teams will cook for the IBCA Cook off.
They will do Half Chickens, Spare Ribs, Tri Tip on Saturday
Sunday Spare Ribs , Pork Shoulder and Beef Brisket.
There is room for two more teams.

Wow that sounds like a lot of fun. How close will the BBQ competition be to the main stage???? Would we be able to eat and see/hear real good from the eating area.
What is People's Choice???

The BBQ Tent is probably 150yards from the stage
Peoples Choice is you decide who has the best Ribs by buying more from that team than another
The teams are fun folks who compete all over the west

[Thom]

Well The BBQ competition was a lot of fun
Pappas Smoke House won peoples Choice Ribs
AZ Critter Cookers Beat the Blakes by one point to win the Grand Championship
Next year more teams and Sunday a Chili Cook Off
To attend other BBQ Cook Offs go to www.cbbqa.com for info.

Thanks THOM for the update. I was wondering who had won. One of my friends tried 3 different ones and said his favorite was one guy that had no signs or anything. He was wondering how he could have said "my vote goes for that one"? As our understanding is all 3 got a vote by the ticket bought. How does that work to show who's best if you dont know until you have tasted it?

thanks

[Thom]

Saturday was by number of tickets
Sunday voters came back to the Judges booth and showed us on our map where the team was
The team with no signs was he young? Sound like my 19 year old son
he does great Ribs He finnished second in Tri Tip and Second in Pork

[Countrygurl]

The one with no signs i THINK he said was an older guy but im not sure so dont quote me on that.

next year if/when we do this bbq competition again, lets talk again on the phone so i can relay this info on how the voting works to our website newsletter people, the website itself, etc.

Thanks for all your help with this. (also as a vegetarian, i would have loved to sample some vegetarian bbq but couldnt find any, i was really jealous because it smelled SOOOO good)

I dont eat meat. (beef/chicken/pork, etc), haven't for years, don't miss it but can admit a bbq always smells good. I do still eat fish.
