Hey everyone, I'm a new competition barbequer in the chicagoland area. I find it difficult to find events for a newcomer that won't burn a hole in my pocket entry fee wise or that I won't have to drive too far to get to. I have researched events for a while now and this is what I have found. I'm asking others to correct what I found or contribute to the list. Some of these are simple backyard events, some are all in KCBS events, doesn't matter; just looking for options. Some of these were last years events so the dates were an estimate.
