Gates will open at 7 pm the night before for guys that want to setup Saturday evening. We will have security there so no problem with that. Day of event gate will open at 4 am like last year with captains meeting and rib distribution at 6 am.
I will have to check with Nassau county board of health about the inspection

Hi,

What are the restrictions on smokers? Propane allowed, or wood/charcoal fuels only?

[BlazinSS934]

Sorry for the delayed response. The event is in a Nassau county park so we need to be good guests and play by their rules. Wood and charcoal BBQ grills are ok. Small Green Coleman bottles are ok as are butane burners and white fuel. Basically they don't want a 20 lb propane tank floating around. Any further questions about fuel please PM me

I understand that but some don't have the capacity to cook people's choice , so if need be is it optional?

[BlazinSS934]

We will work with teams that don't have the capacity on a case by case basis. I just don't want to have 3 teams in the people choice lol

Just tell everyone that came by last year that you are competing as Smokin' Irish. :-D

[Sledneck]

Does every team receive the same amount of ribs for people choice? St Louis spares?

[BlazinSS934]

Yes all teams will receive the same amount 1-1/2 to 2 cases of ribs

[scm1226]

I notice the rain date on the web site. Is that for the car show or for both. Most of us are not used to rescheduling due to weather. Should we not sign up if we can't make the rain date. Or can we get a refund.

[BlazinSS934]

Sorry that is a little unclear on our website. The car show has a rain date but the BBQ portion will go on rain or shine. Shine is preferred lol

[Sledneck]

St Louis spares?

[hwy hawk]

Any word on turn in times or peoples choice yet? Is there going to be a garnish? Can the chicken be trimmed ( Not Marinated) before? I just did a case of ribs on labor day and there were 16 racks in the case.

[BlazinSS934]

Chefs packet will be done shortly

9x9 styro green garnish following kcbs style rules
12 racks in a case

What's wrong with a little garnish. Irish are you guys in this year ?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[CMALANGA]

Garnish? I thought this was a Brethren event not a KCBS Board of Elections meet and greet.

[BlazinSS934]

Would it hurt to support your local parsley vendors.LOL Would you guys be happier with just a plain Jane styro box?

I believe that you will need a minimum of 6 with a preference for 7 for the table captain.

I'm sure that the FD guys will follow up with a confirmation or denial.

^^^^^ Brethren Rules in case anyone needs them

which used the NEBS grilling rules

http://nebsdevsite.com/sites/default/files/NEBS%20Grilling%20Rules.pdf


If one uses a stuffing, can it be a meat not of the category, such as a sausage stuffing or bacon? so long as the primary meat can be judged?

[Frank Sacco]

Thank you Sal for your hard work, this was a fun event. We had a great time supporting a great cause. One question, did I miss something or were the results posted wrong? I don't remember getting a call or a trophy in the beef category?

[Sledneck]

Congrats to rookie first time competitors the que-rate kids!

[exhorns]

We had a good time at this contest. Just did ribs and peoples choice. Not so happy with how our rib box came out but that's how it goes sometimes (7 spares in a 9x9, c'mon). Glad to see and talk to friends and meet some new ones. Nice to see the Polacks too. Happy for our neighbors The Que-Rate Kids. Really good guys. Congrats to Babylon Grillbillies (while training a new team member), Blazin' Butts and all who heard their name called. Next year we gotta cook more ribs. Matt

Fun event, job well done by Sal and his crew. Thanks to the Bethpage FD (Charlie) for helping out a shorthanded neighbor, I would have missed the turn ins and never been able to handle the peoples choice- true brethren's ya are.


I should have known better that my teammate (Todd, you might recall from manorville) would not be home at 5am on Sunday.

[hwy hawk]

sal,

any word on those scores?

[Sledneck]

He must be busy, on vacation or sick and tired of bbq people. I know one of the winners did not receive one of the prizes and he hasnt been able to get in touch with sal
either

do you know if there were prizes for the chefs choice?

Well, I guess we can forget about those scores. Its been 3 weeks and still nothing. It would have been nice to see were we placed in all the catagories. I hope the person that is missing the prize got in touch with him at least.
