I hear tell you're considering coming down to Illinois for the Wamac/Centralia contest (Southwestern Illinois Spring Festival in May). I'll be there too! Shane, the contest organizer, is a real nice guy...new to organizing a contest, but trying real hard. Should be a lot of fun!

Yep, this looks like it will be on our calendar. Talked with Shane a few days ago, sounds like he's starting to understand the need for revamping his origanal setup/layout (cooking in one area and having your trailor/RV/ect...in another. Also said he is 99.9% sure it will be santioned, just can't officially say so till it's a done deal. Really nice guy like you said!!
See you there Jim....looking foward to it!

Default Yep,

it's sanctioned. KCBS approved it at the January BOD, but didn't post it until a couple of days ago.

Should be fun!

Hey Theresa! We've taken your advice and joined this site; seems great so far.

I'm just chiming in with my team's opinion that the Scotsmen are great people, and if someone gets mentored by them, they're in very good hands. We met them last weekend when we competed in our first competition in Libertyville, IL. We were lucky enough to be the Scotsmen's neighbors. They were extremely generous with their food (wow, those bisquits and gravy ) and their advice. They were reserve Grand Champ so the latter was just as spot-on as the former.

Was very enjoyable to meet the Q-Topia team. It's this aspect of the competition circuit that makes it all worth while. Where else can you meet the greatest folks from all parts of the country and all walks of life who share a fundabmental enjoyment of good food - BBQ afterall . Take care of that beautiful baby, S H I T A L!!

Chris, it was also great working with you and thanks so much for giving us a hand in Arthur. You stuck me as we fought the battle of the crappy wood. Maybe if we had some really small bits of wood (aka, pellets ), we could have managed the thin blue smoke - Naw, we are real stick burners .

The best part of this mentoring program was our first encounter in April of this year: Joe and Nicole joined us as mentor and quickly became the best of friends as well as key contributors to our success this year and full time members of the Smo Sco's...love ya, Queen of Green (p.s. - that's a "clown ass"...not an "ass clown" !!!)
