Contest Announcment 5th Annual Winter Burnoff and Chili Competition, Des Plaines, IL - Feb 20, 2011

[Stoke&Smoke]

We were in the Bowling Alley Bar... LOL

Yeah, Scottie's right. It was so cold I saw one team with a bottle of Jack that they just bought that day turn into a slushie:shock:

We ventured out a couple of times to say hi to a couple teams, but opted to judge that year. I think that's the first time we met Tonto and Bud.

The next year we cooked it. It's a lot of fun, and for a good cause, so why not?

 

[Scottie]

Only other time I have had slushy Jack is when I got a big block of Dry Ice and made a Clonesicle. It was delicious. But I don't need to be in conditions that are just as cold as a chunk of dry ice and that was about the temps that year...

 

[Stoke&Smoke]

Yup! That was the year smoke hunters had the flat on their smoker trailer and got there late and did a 3 hour briskie, and Dr Chuckie drove in all the way from MI and couldn't get into his own trunk! The wind that day just made it worse!

 

[Brew-B-Q]

This is a fun competition for a good cause. I judged two years ago and cooked last year. Unfortunately, it's not looking good for me to cook this year.

 

[Stoke&Smoke]

Bump -
So this is now 10 days out. Who's going?

 

[BearCat]

Temps were in the mid thirties to (maybe?) low 40's all day. Although we did enjoy a few periods of little to no rain, the bulk of the day saw rain alternating between steady drizzle and downright downpour.

To thier credit (or credit their insanity) 2 teams did the whole thing without any shelter:crazy:

I'm not sure how much money ulitimately went to NOAH, but it looked like a huge success!

There were some perinnial attenders noticeably missing, but it was my understanding that they attended another competitors wedding the day before.

Only two teams were no shows. Actually, 1 and 1/2 as the second team apparently showed up last Saturday, instead of yesterday:icon_shy

The nice folks at Miller Brewing donated 1 keg each of MGD, Lite, and High Life, from which all proceeds went directly to the charity.
