skip thanks for the input, working on the ice now, in contact with the guy you turned me on to. will work the water situation. Can definitely do spares, was just worried about number of racks folks can cook

Good luck on your People's Choice Jamie. Its nice to see you around and doing the things needed.

Thanks to Skip's advice I am pleased to add that we will be able to provide ice free of charge to all teams

Glad I could be of help. I hope the contest is awesome and at the end you want to do it again next year. One thing though you may want to quantify how much ice each team will get free of charge. As well it doesn't hurt to ask teams if they would like to make a donation to recapture in lieu of the cost of ice. Heck if they give you $5 for 40 lbs that's as much as $200 for the charity or funds for the minutia of the event that wasn't there before. It's still for the charity if you use the money in support of the event.

Not sure if Jamie will see this.If any of you have feedback it is appreciated. This is my first People's choice event of this size. I know for KCBS you can't use electricity to hold meats but for PC are we allowed to use a warmer? A lot of meat to prepare, wanted to prep as much as possible and hold. I have only so many coolers, this would make things easier. Sorry for the stupid question but I just want to be covered. Thanks.

Suppose to be super hot, just brings back memories of Harpoon with the Health inspector.

For those that didn't attend this year, you missed out on a great contest. The volunteers at Riverfront Recapture did an AMAZING job running this event, especially for it's first year. And a big kudo goes out to Jamie from Bear's Smokehouse for funding the event and for everything he did to make it memorable. I don't think a single guest on Saturday night left that event hungry. As People's Choice meats began to run low, Jamie cleaned out every last ounce of protein from his restaurant to feed the guests. Competitors, judges and guests were all treated like royalty! Thanks for everything and see you next year.

Just want to thank those that came out for the contest. It was a pleasure to meet a bunch of new BBQ folk and we tried to make it as streamlined for the competitors as possible. We will be sending out a survey soon and would love any feedback you have so that we can make next year even better.
