[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Congrats to Rod with Pellet Envy for his GC and overall Team National Team of the year.  Great job.  Glad that we could be a part of that with you.

Thanks to all the teams & Judges for coming out and support AZBarbeque, BBQ Island and this event, we had a great time with all of you and hope to see you all again soon.

Great Job everyone.. 

[jmcrig]

Congratulations and great job to all. Just wish I could have been there.

[kingbrutis]

I must say, you guys are amazing. We sampled alot and didnt try anything that was average. It was all better than yer local bbq joint serves. Congrats!!!!

[Bugnasty]

You all did great. Everyone brought their A game and should be proud. This was clearly a terrific turnout. Great Job everyone. And Mike, BBQ Island, you guys ROCK!! Thanks for putting on a fabulous show. My only regret is not getting enough of the samples. I think I actually envy the judges. Kudos to the TOTY Pellet Envy.

[Thom Emery]

Another great AZ contest
I really enjoyed work with Kelly and Kathleen MacIntosh in the Judging Tent

[NotleyQue]

What a great event.  Thanks to everyone involved for making this amazing.
My only regret is that it took me this long to come to Arizona.  A top notch event. 

Looking forward to many a contest in Arizona next year. 

[Thom Emery]

You bet Gary I plan on cooking at least 5 in AZ in 2010

Good Morning all, hope y'all have somewhat recovered from the loooong weekend! As a "new" member of AZBBQ club and a first time Arizona AND KCBS event attendee/volunteer I am highly impressed. For those that don't know we (wife,son and I) are PNWBA certified judges but have not attended any KCBS events until now. We were highly impressed at the organization of the event and how smoothly it went from start to finish. We were also very taken with the warm reception and generous hospitality that we received from everyone! We're very new "full-time" Rv'ers and didn't/don't know what to expect out on the road from people, and if life's going to be like this we'll never stop!

I would like to take this time thank Michael for tolerating us newbies, I'm guessing we probably drove him crazy at times, Whiskey Ranch for the wonderful food and generous hospitality and especially the VM crew, you've no idea how much this weekend helped....

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful time, we hope to make the next event and get KCBS certified as well! Keep up the good work!
Jim, Dianna and Trevor   

[Thom Emery]

I noticed you all doing a great job
Just did not have time to tell you at the event
Glad to have you with us

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Smith Family Robinson won People's Choice by a long shot.  Congrats to them and their entire team for a great job.


Jim, we really enjoyed meeting you and your family and NO, you did not drive me crazy.  We do appreciate you coming out to the event and we certainly look forward to seeing you out at many more.

Thanks to all our great members, new & old, who came out and supported this event, we met a lot of people over the weekend and already we have 20 new members this month.

Hope to see you all at our Annual Holiday Party & Awards Banquet next weekend..
