Mike,
What does the 2009 schedule look like so far? Any new contests planned that we do not know about?
-
I hope so we want to cook in AZ at least 4 times
-
Yes, we are justing waiting to lock in dates and Prize $$.
2 Pulte cook-offs, 1 in Feb/March, 1 in Nov.
1 in the works up in Lakeside
1 in the works up in Flagstaff
1 hopefully in the works in Tucson.
Still hopeful we can get the one in Anthem we have been working on off the ground as well.
We should have between 4 - 8 contests next year. Should be a good year here in AZ once again..
-
Hey Mike,
Any updates for 09 events?
-
Not yet, we won't be sitting down with any of the sponsors until the first of the year. Hopefully by the 1st or 2nd week of January we have some updates for you.
We do have the BBQ Crawl set for Saturday, January 17th though, so put that on your calendar for now..
-
Do you know where the crawl is going to be?
-
We are going to be visiting some of them on the East side of town, Mesa, Tempe, etc. Still have not locked down which ones yet.
-
Are the Pulte ones in the same place as 2008?
-
As of right now, Yes, that is what they are telling us.
We will be locking some of these down right after the new year, so stay patient for a week or so. ;)
-
Just an update, we are finalizing details on 2 cook-offs, probably both IBCA between now and April.
As soon as we get all the details locked down, we will announce them.
Pulte is all set for November again, it's going to be bigger and better than last year with more prize money and more events going on along with the BBQ Competition.
-
This has become a total thread hi-jack.
seems like the initial thread was about the 2009 upcoming events? For those of us that are thinking about diving in, perhaps it would be better if you "professionals" had a private forum.
Seems to be some "one upmanship" going on here.
So, what are the upcoming events again?
-
What thread isn't hijacked at some point or another. But this is an open forum with opinions and views. Some are just not broken down and catagorized like some people would like. I think your answer is on the first page of this thread, that's all there is so far.
Oh yeah, and dive in and just do it. You will have the time of your life. Too much fun.
-
You are correct, it was getting off topic. I have split all the talk about KCBS and IBCA. You can find it here http://www.azbarbeque.com/forums/upcoming-events/sanctioning-bodies-kcbs-vs-ibca/
Let's keep this one about 2009 events.
-
What about 2010? LOL............
-
We may have one one
at a very nice water front resort in San Diego

So true! ;D ;D

In the summer you don't even need charcoal, just roll the smoker out into the sun. ;D

Boys I work in Thermal Ca
Its name tells the story
While we are blessed with
missing at least some of the
monsoon season
Anything over 110 is no fun

I always wondered if I lined the bottom of my weber kettle with aluminum foil and rolled it out in the summer sun if I could cook without charcoal. Might have to try that this summer. ;D
-
Maybe a Big A$$ magnifying lence
-
I am close to the williams gateway airport I might blind some pilots if I do that. ;D ;D
-
So,
We got the BBQ ISLAND Cookoff in March, anything else coming up before we head over to Stagecoach in April?
Did I hear someone mention the Avondale gig was on again this year?
-
We are still working on some other cook-offs, but until we get all the details locked down (location, Sponsors, Hard $$, etc.) we don't want to announce them. We've already have 2 that were supposed to happen this year already fall through, so keep your fingers crossed that we get these ones locked in.
Just a teaser, we are working on a Steak Cook-off, a Whole Hog Cook-off, another IBCA event and 2 additional KCBS events. These are in addition to the big Pulte November one that we are just about to finalize once again.
We should have a really good BBQ competition year out here in AZ this year. ;) We are all working hard to get these events dialed in so you all have some great ways to enjoy this wonderful hobby we share. ;)
