March Meat Madness!

Bigmista · 02-21-2008, 06:27 PM

Here we go again!

It's the 3rd Occasional Backyard at the Rocke

This is a practice contest that Chris Rocke holds in the cul-de-sac in front of his home. It's a chance for us to hone our skills during the down time between contests. I'm especially looking forward to cooking with the spicewine (even if I am only cooking chicken for this one.)

We aer cooking Chicken, pork ribs, tri-tip and Anything Butt. We will have several CBJ's judging and they will also be filling out comment cards. It's a great chance to talk with judges and find out what they look for. Really a great learning experience.

Here are the teams that are participating...

Rancho Rocke BBQ
Funtime BBQ
When Pigs Fly BBQ
Smell My Butts
Yanqui Pit Boss
4Q BBQ
Big Country BBQ
Leanza's BBQ
7 Kinds Of Smoke BBQ (Formerly Carter Catering)
Road Whore BBQ
Blast Off BBQ
Auntie Shoe's Bodacious BBQ
ThrillBilly BBQ
Professional Cookers, Inc.

And in addition to some awesome pies, brownies and cookies, here are the awesome prizes that have been donated:

Forschner Knives
BLQUE and Pelletheads.com have generously offered the March backyard event the following prizes for the top three teams -- i.e. Grand Champ, Reserve Champ and team no 3:

First Place -- a 12” 40633 with Granton edge, $60.35 value

Second Place -- a 40812 6” wide blade with Granton edge, a $31.15 value and a 42610 6” curved blade with Granton edge, a $26.05 value

Third Place -- a 46612 6” wide blade stiff, a $22.70 value

Eggs by the Bay Basket

Eggs by the Bay and Darry Smith have donated a basket full of BBQ goodies (such thing as sauces, rubs, gloves, etc) for the Grand Champ.

This promises to be a great backyard event. I encourage everyone to try and organize contests like this in your area. The neighbors love it because we always cook enough to feed them. We also get a chance to taste other teams BBQ. This almost never happens at a contest.

Check back here and we will post all developments and the contest results.

Wow, very impressive for a "practice" run. Sounds like a great time!!
We are trying to line up something like that here in April.....hopefully goes as well as your's!!

Bigmista · 02-22-2008, 12:28 PM

It's really a great time and as always we thank the ROcke family and their neighbors for having us.

TOPS BBQ · 02-22-2008, 01:06 PM

Neil,

You guys should have a great time. Hopefully Lakeside Ranch turns out well for it's first year. Wish I could do both, but Rancho Rocke is too far for practice.

Bigmista · 02-27-2008, 12:32 PM

Can't wait for this one! It seems that I'c cooking ribs and tri-tip for the first time ever. What a way to break in the spicewine. Hope I don't destroy the tri-tip.

The Brothers represented well today. Four Q had a great team effort and a Spicewine....They won!

Professor Salt · 03-01-2008, 09:00 PM

We're all very excited to get our first GC and start the 2008 season right. It feels good to get the GC monkey off our back.

Bentley · 03-01-2008, 09:18 PM

Grand Champion 3Q er 4Q! Fine Job!

2nd Place When Pigs Fly Dale & Tammy Ginos!

3rd Place Smell My Butts, Glen Stanley & Janice!

Leanza BBQ, Dale & Tom, a nice 4th place finish over all and a sweet 3rd in Anything Butt and 1st in Chicken!

Good day! 10 teams, 5 which had never been in a BBQ contest before, way to go everyone.

And the CBBQA BOD does not think these events are worthy of a couple hundred bucks cuz its not where they wanna spend the money,"...well there not all CBBQA members, where do we draw the line..."

KMA!
