So bummed about the RibFest. Hoping to smoke something on Saturday though, sort of as a mournful would-have-been practice
They've taken all acknowledgement of the amateur competition down from their website, and I just don't see there being enough space at the new location. The title sponsor of the Amateur Competition the previous two years is t even sponsoring Rinfest this year.
Looks like its time to move forward with the WFU tailgating competition that I was discussing with the AD about.
Im not sure about the spring game cookout. I'd love to, but won't know for sure until the date is formally announced. We are burning down a house on April 14th, which is the rumored date. If that ends up being the date, I won't be able to make it.
The Charlotte Blues, Brews, and BBQ competition still has a Backyard Griller format. It's held right in uptown Charlotte. The only downside is that it falls during football season every year. This year though it falls on the Clemson game weekend (thursday night game), so there are no conflicts:

I was planning to do it this year, but just signed up for the Marine Corp Marathon that weekend in DC, so I'll miss it yet again.
I used to compete in BBB a few years ago....even placed my ribs one year....but when they moved the Backyard division from the park near BOA stadium to downtown Tryon St in 2008 I believe....no mas. It turned into an all night party and freak show, as you have to deal with some of Charlotte's finest walking Tryon late at night (if you have a street front spot). Hell the spot is next to a martini bar! I haven't checked lately, but the entry fee was $50/meat and all of the meat was supplied by Smithfield.
What part of that is bad?
Hoping to pick up a WSM this year. Do you guys know if there is any precedent for the WSM to go on sale at Lowes/Amazon/Home Depot, etc?
Just now saw this. How'd it turn out? As long as you can keep your temps up, you can cook in all types of weather. The rain will typically cool the smoker down quite a bit initially.Decided to do a pork butt today.... Did not check hte weather. Its supposed to rain and I jut put the shoulder on the smoker. Am i totally screwed?
