• BBQ Comp - Safford, AZ: May 27, 2011 - May 28, 2011

[Crash]

So lets say, for the sake of argument, that each team receives 3 BB racks.  Does that mean they only have the opportunity to PC those three racks total?  Or can a team only PC the ribs they are given, but can PC the other three meats to their hearts content?

I'm thinking it's just the ribs they are given.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Just the ribs they are given.  No, you are NOT going to be making a ton on PC at this event.

It's our first event in this Health Dept jurisdiction and they just don't get it.  Once they see it in action, we will be able to hopefully convince them otherwise for future events.

Come on out and enjoy a nice, cozy event with hopefully 15+ teams and enjoy a chance to win your first GC and be qualified for the Jack & Royal drawings.

Hope to see more of you out there..

That's a shame that they dont get it.  Sounds like you'll be making close to 10 bucks a rack, and you'll need the cook space to do it.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Yea, but at least you are not coming out of pocket for the ribs.  It will be a quick PC, but should be a fun one and I'm sure we will be able to show the Health Inspector how it's done and hopefully move forward with our normal PC for future events.

I wish our schedule permitted us to attend and help a new event get off the ground Memorial day is always booked for us though.  I hope the event is a success.

You lost me with no beer, and only 4 assts.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

You can have as many assistants as you want, only 4 are recognized, don't know why they do it like this as all we care about with the BCS is the head cook.

As for the Beer, we do many events that say no alcohol.  Use your imagination..

Think outside the box..... or inside the red cup.

Sent in our registration today. For obvious smoker space reasons we will not be doing PC. Unless you have a big cooker, it doesn't make any sense, even if they are free. Just not worth the effort,fuel,sauce,rub,time,etc....Looking forward to it, hope to see more teams come out!

I will be in Vegas the week before, So I have to see if I can get back in time to do this event.  Sounds like a great event.

[Dan-O]

I would love to do it, but would need to find a partner.  I do have a ProQ Excel 20 that I can bring and I have an extended cab pickup.  So if there is anyone in or near Tucson who would like to team up for this, let me know.

I am very interested in helping you out and I live in nw Tucson....I am a newbie but have been backyard smoking for about 2 years now. I would love to learn more and would be very excited to do so. My email is dtcunni@gmail.com. Thanks!

Hey Dan,

Matt and I would be happy to have you there to help out.  I am up in Sedona until May 6, but will touch base with you when I get back.

[seacus]

I want to thank those of you have already registered.  We are so excited to have you come out!!! 

[Mike P in Tucson]

Royce or anyone,

On the health department permit, where you have to list all foods to be sold and what store the food came from, what do you put in that space?

[seacus]

I understand that you guys are not "selling" anything (sorry not our form).  Just list what you will be presenting to the judges and where you plan on purchasing the meat.  The most important thing to the inspector is that meat is purchased from a store, and not being slaughtered in someone's back yard.  Sounds far fetched I know, but we are a rural area.
