• Out of the Ashes BBQ Comp: September 07, 2012 - September 08, 2012

[145 grill]

I would take the extra meat and sell it. I have a health permit and food handlers permits for this area.  So this would help us out. So I could do this for our charity instead of peoples choice and this would allow the other teams to do peoples choice if they still want to.

Thanks:
MIKE

Same here I would like to donate our Extra meat also.

I just found out that on Saturday there will be a gun show at the American Legion. So if you aren't cooking thats another event you can go see.  Hopefully most teams will stay until Sunday, there will be a fireworks show at the event site. The weather is very nice up here right now, cool days and evenings.  You might want to bring jackets for those cool evenings. If anyone needs anything don't hesitate to ask.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Come on everyone, there is still time to sign up for this event.

Lots of great teams coming.

We have 17 teams signed up as of now.  Still lots of room to come out and join us.

Still needing judges as well.  Message me if you are interested..

[145 grill]

If any of you people want to come up to our area early to get out of the heat, please come up and I will show you around the area. I wish we could blow some of this cool weather your way, I know you really need it. So contact me if you are in the area and I will be happy to show you around or recommend places to go. If you can't make it up early I look foreward to meeting you at the "out of the Ashes BBQ contest"

Stay cool everyone

If I can get the time off from work will try to come up and judge. Question I have a tent trailer can I park in comp area?

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Chuck, that shouldn't be a problem.  Just let me know the dimensions.  It is DRY camping out there.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

I talked with Mike Today and this event is really shaping up nicely.

The Trophies are all being hand made by one of his deputies with wood from last year's devastating fire, so they are all going to be unique and one of a kind.  You certainly want to win one of these.

We would love to get to 20 teams competing.  Right now, we have more kids Q entries than regular entries. 

If you are on the fence, let's get you signed up.  It's just $100 and the prize fund is at $4000.  It's really supporting this community after last year's fire and it would be great to see lots of support.

Hope to see some more of you out there.

It is also a great way to get out of this horrible heat in the valley and see one of the prettiest parts of this state. Let's get some more entries.

[Mike P in Tucson]
