Guess you'll be fast cooking at about 400F. I see check in starts at 7 am and both ribs and pulled pork are judged starting at 11:45 am. And it says pulled pork. And you need a minimum of 5 slabs of ribs for people to taste plus 2 bones per judge but no idea how many judges. Sorry but it's hard to get spares done in that timeline, heck it's hard to get BB's done in 4 hours and you have 4:45 including setup. BUt if any cooker can do it, an FE can.

I sent her an e-mail asking about that.....will post when I hear back....

No rules preventing it....I'd inject the butt for flavor then deep fry that sucker.
Plenty of time for the ribs if you smoke them for a couple of hours around 300 degrees then foil them an hour or so..

Not with my pit though...old boy takes two hours just to warm up the steel enough to start cooking on it (unless I want liquid smoke raining down on everything :-P

Try starting fire with the weed burner it also heats up smoker........

I spoke with the organizer, and the butts dont have to be done on site, but, do have to be finished, and up to temp from on site heat. the ribs, if started by 7:30, no problem at all....sent off my check today......only 9 more spots available....

I am looking forward to it, but, who knows, it seems like it has been the same teams over and over doing the contest in the past. I can just hope to represent the KCBS and Brethren family well.......but, as we know, crowd and guest judges means cook it how _______________________?:wink: I figure I am not really out that much, will take the g/f and her son, hang out at the fair for the day, and not out too much money....and as long as I am smoking something, it is a good day.....:biggrin:
