Looking forward to this event now,now if I can only remember how to cook chicken and ribs again   

[force]

Let me know if you remember................... we could use the help....................lol......

Another Major Announcement coming in the next few days..................it just keeps getting better............ HOO Ah.....

Don't forget everyone that the first 12 teams to register and pay get free pork butts.  That's a great savings right there.

After the event this past weekend, I know a lot of people are going to be signing up and we only have room for 20, so get your registrations in ASAP...

[BBQCZAR]

Is there an updated list of teams registered so far ? Looks like it is shaping up to be a great event!

[force]

Here are the teams that have either registered or have verbally committed..... remember the first 12 to register with fee paid gets 2- 12lb pork butts bone in.......

Toys 4 BBQ'N
Otis and the Bird
AZ BBQ
Whiskey Ranch
A$$ Kickin
Tex's Smokehouse on Wheels
Better Burnt BBQ
BBQ Bullies
Appetites
Heartland Beef

Only 4 paid.......... so far........ so only 8 spots left for the pork butts............. HOO Ah.........

Palm Desert is moving back to April
I really want to cook before that
If Kyle is not racing we should be there

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Thom, that would be awesome.  This is right as you get into Phoenix, right off the freeway, just a short trip for you from Indio..

[Thom Emery]

[Thom Emery]

What are the turn-in times for the meats ? Also ,who is judging this event ? Are there going to be certified BBQ judges for this event ? If not,how will the judges know what to look for or what to taste for ? You have to have some CBJ's to properly judge this event.Common people will not know what to look for.

[Mike (AZBarbeque)]

Turn in times will be the same as this past weekend.

Chicken - 11 am
Ribs - Noon
Pork - 1 pm
Brisket - 2 pm
Awards 4 pm

Judging will be similar to what we had this past weekend and what you normally see at IBCA events.  Mostly general public with a few CBJ's to help out.  All the judges are given a brief run down on what to look for and how to judge and score.  We have printouts that they all get and from the results of this past weekend, it is still very consistant with a normal KCBS contest.  We saw that out at Rawhide as well with the two contests going side by side.

I got my name in the judging hat, but have not yet been confirmed. 

If I don't get picked I'll volunteer to be someone's Pit Beeatch if needed.   And sorry, this is NOT what you'll be getting... http://pitB!t@h.com/
