Smoke Me Silly will be there. This will be our first year competing and that will be our second contest. From looking at the website for the event, it looks like the registration has closed. How many teams usually cook that event?

According to KCBS.us, there were 13 teams last year and 18 the year before.

There is more than 18 teams there. I believe that was the year we won and there was over 40...

Just checked the KCBS results from previous years. It looks like there was 40 teams last year and 37 in 2010. Looks like they are getting a great turnout again this year then. Looking forward to it.

Yeah sorry. Not sure how I messed that up. 18 was in 2008, and 13 in 2009. Sorry for the confusion.

Just received an email from one of the coordinators of the BBQ comp in Benton, and he said that he has 40 teams signed up.

Electric is close but water can be a little far from some spots.

I guess I'm out this year. This was my first contest ever last year and I was looking forward to starting out this year down there. I haven't gotten an e-mail, but i'm sure it was too late. If anyone hears of someone dropping out, or maybe needing some help, let me know.

I tried a few days ago to get signed up and they weren't taking anymore teams. Cutoff time was the 15th of this month so I thought I had time this week but guess not.

Just drove by there, i looks like they just installed some new spigots on the lawn area and there are several poles with power. Looks like water and power will be close.

He has a limit on 40 teams just because of the size of the lot. He has no room to expand the contest


Q2NV will be there

I'm not sure if that Weather Underground prediction is right. The rest of the weather sites I looked at are only showing it in the high 70's for that weekend.

Dennis,

There is not much in Benton. Just the normal fast food outlets, a couple of BBQ joints, a mexican and a chinese restuarant.

There is a town about 15 mintues northeast called Grand Rivers that has a restuarant called Patti's. Its about the nicest resturant around with great sitdown service. There is also a fish place called Willow Pond in Calvert City also about 15 minutes away with really good catfish and fixings.

You wont be disappointed with either of these choices.

IF you decide on Patti's make a reservation, its fills up fast on the weekends.
