Recently I was in the emporium talking to Jim, and we got on the discusion of BBQ. I thought that since Mike and Jimi are in cahouts with thier crazy smokers, and Jim said he could whip up some killer ribs, that at the next meeting I might bring up some new topic of a cook-off. The problems I forsee with this is how do we prepare at an alien location, and where would that location be? I talked to my loveley wife, and my house is an option. That would give me a definite advantage however (like I really need it.) But I'm willing to entertain other options. I know smokers are heavy and a pain in the ass to move, but I have done it before and will again if I have to. I think it's about time to your ribs where our mouths are and end a debate that hasn't even sarted!

Umm, Jimi is not in cahoots on a smoker. He built a raincatcher while me and Mike built drum smokers. For one to qualify, he would have to USE the smoker with some wood and charcoal to smoke some meat :)

I think maybe a brewery would be a good place to do this, I might know of one that could give Matt the advantage he would need. Might be a good event, let me talk it over with the partners.

Sounds like fun. If we could get into the location early enough to set up we could cook on site.

I'm interested.

So it would seem that we need to get some thing together before we announce will the event will be. With that Said, I think Matt is working on offical rules, time lines etc. Matt once you have that we can get a better understanding of what is going to be needed. Craft Brewery can work with you to make some room for equipment etc. Kinda a Staging area. Once you know more let me know. Thanks

Hello All,

I would like to get some more information on the RIB Cook Off. I think last we spoke with Matt he was going to get some rules published or referenced. Maybe a Quick event write up like location, rules, date & times, etc would be the next steps maybe?
If at all possible I would like to get two dates to work with so that we can work things out at the hosting brewery.

All I got so far is some time in March at Craft Brewing Company 530 Crane St. Suite C Lake Elsinore Ca 92530.

At the meeting last night I talked with Matt a little bit about it and he was working on it. We talked with Bob about dates and it sounded like they wanted to push it back into April. I am not sure if Matt visits the boards or not.

Yup, unless we come up with a different venue, we will still coordinate w/ the Craft brew guys. I still think it's the best place, and it might help get their been noticed by other than club members.
