National BBQ Festival, Douglas, GA Nov. 3/4
 

Here's the link to info about this "best of the best" cookoff in Douglas, GA.

The teams list is interesting...lots of heavy hitters. I think I highlighted the "Brethren" teams...apologies to any that I missed.

The contest has both Invitational and Open competition.

Tim and I will be helping out Purple Turtle.

I just found out I'm in deep doo-doo...I'll be in Douglas and it's the same weekend as the wife's company holiday party...hmmm. It's a great party but I'm already committed to the competition -- she understands, but somehow it'll probably still come out as being "my fault".

Anne will forgive ya, she always does :lol:
If not, blame it on me.

Small edit, not that it matters.
Dave is cooking with Nancee and the Purple Turtle crew. I have been drafted by Kevin (HomeBBQ).
Maybe a little side bet action...??

This is gonna be a fun event--for sure!

TIM

Highlight Me
I slipped in the back door by coming in 6th overall in the open in Douglas last year. I don't know how, it was only my 4th contest.
Maybe I can hold my own with the big boys this year. I cook by myself but have enlisted someone to help me at Douglas with the back to back Friday and Saturday Contests.

Walt, sorry for the oversight!! Good luck.

OK those are the Invites..
 

Those are just the Invites, who's actually going to Douglas?
lunchmeat will be there. Fun contest they treat the cookers
like gold. We are cooking both days this year a first for lunchmeat
two days & nights for two contests.. I can't wait.

They have local people assigned to each team to help with whatever you need and make you feel at home.
I asked for the same two Ladies that I had last year :wink:

OK, so what kind of side bet action are ya talkin' Kapn? I'm a gamblin' kind of gal....

Michelle,
Dave is pit bitchin' for Purple Turtle.
I am pit bitchin' for Kevin.
Everyone knows the pit bitch is the key to a winning performance by a team.
So, I was thinking just Dave and I square off for "Ultimate Pit Bitch" ranking with a little side action :lol:

If you believe any of that--I got some primo land I wanna sell ya :lol:

I have a limited budget--ROF (retired old fart) on a fixed income. :redface:
I can let my mouth overload my wallet in a heartbeat :redface:

We can surely discuss it at Douglas though.

Looking forward to it!

TIM

I'm teaming up with TDB for the Invitational, and Big Pig Inc for the Open.
Really looking forward to it!

Hi Rub, glad to see you here! Head over to Cattle Call and introduce yourself if you haven't already....

Matt in NYC

was it something I said??
 

well, good thing I decided to goof off at work!!! Guess Kevin gave ya a better deal eh?! Or at least a better shot of glory...like he needs any help!

open
 

I called up to douglas and asked for a list of the teams in the open, they didnt really seem to know, does any one know how many teams were there last year for the open and what the pay-outs are ? I'll be there, just cant seem to find much info on it !

There were 87 teams in last years open . They told me they would have a list after the fiftenth of the month, Thats when they have their cut-off on registration.
$30,000 for invitational and $20,000 for Open

Lot's of info at there website:

Also, nearly all the teams that do the Invitational do the Open...that gives you a start on the list.
