Can't wait...

definitely not too late.

JIm,

Looking forward to this event! Put me down plus one. Will probably bring a sack of crawfish or 2, and one of my boiling pots. Sweet corn and potatoes. I will volunteer as a judge and I am KCBS certified! Thanks,

Danny

I do need one more, and if you are not going to smoke some ribs for this friendly rib-off the last spot is yours.

I'd rather judge than compete this time around, so I'll happily take that last judge's spot.

I'll bring some food and beverage, and will also chip in for the piggy.

sounds good, so far only me and Gary are gonna smoke some ribs... still early though.

Jim sorry I haven't reposted, I had to check the dates my MIL wants the kids for this summer, I'd still like to participate in the rib cook-off, if only to get some pointers (need to practice in the meantime! ), and I'll have my family (SaintPizza, 3 kids) with me. I can also kick in toward the pig. I don't know anything about BBQ competitions though, any guidelines or links to guidelines you can send me?

great Jim, Ill add you, just a friendly rib cook-off, all about sharing tips, and bbq.

Heres a link to the KCBS rules sheet:

http://www.kcbs.us/pdf/KCBS_Rules_and_R ... s_2009.pdf

just using the KCBS scoring system as a guideline,

I am doing probably 3 slabs of BB ribs, one to turn in, and the others just for some samples for others(and myself)..

Other than the scoring system the rules are pretty loose, with only one main rule, have some fun.

Please count me in! I'm not much of a pig-COOKER, but I'm definitely a connoisseur of all things pork-like and would very much like to attend. I can whip up any kind of pastry-type thang you might like (containing pig products or not).

Sounds like a hoot!

added,

I am looking forward to trying some of those dessert creations you turn out

Count is now @ 57 people, almost to the 60 person cap.

Jim,

Since you are nearing your upper limits, why not provide the list so we can double-check if we are on there?

Regards,

Would love to do this--will bring a side and a guest if that's ok! If you'd rather save the spots for members, that's ok too!

Regards,

there is a running list upthread(page 2 you +1 are in the count ), but i will move it down, and the GP has offered to put together a spreadsheet as well.

LikestoEatout wrote:Jim add on one more for me please, me +2

got it.

Jim, please add me to the waitlist, and if I make it to the regular list, I'll throw my hat in the ring for the cookoff. . . . Plus chip in for the Piggy. . . .and maybe some smoked sausages or something.

sounds good, added, I imagine something will open up.

Holy cow (or pig, as it were) - I can't ever plan this far ahead, but there's a strong possiblity I could go - please put me on the wait list. I'd hate to miss it because I didn't speak up soon enough.

I will chip in for the pig if I can go, make it off the wait list, etc. Thanks for doing this!

Im a planning/organization freak...

plus the earlier notice the better for people busy schedules, as well as it being fun to day dream about June during January...

Ill add you to the list, thanks for the interest.

A slight change to this June gathering. After alot of thought and some discussion I have decided to nix the BB rib throwdown portion so I can concentrate on the pig roasting(beer and tequila drinking and eating ) aspect of this get together.

I hope no one minds, and I appreciate the interest by the folks who wanted to do it as well as those who volunteered to judge.

Folks can still bring their smokers and smoke meat as their potluck item(cant have too much meat imho), I believe I will be doing some ABT's, a shoulder or a butt, and some hot links.

I think this change will allow for more fun to be had by all.

but... my beautiful ribs....

it's cool, I have some other ideas of stuff to make for that day anyway, still dreaming of June in January...

I know, and Im sorry, just seemed the logistics of doing it right would be tough.

I'm looking forward to trying whatever you decide to make.

Just because you're not "competing" doesn't mean you can't still make ribs.

and without the pressure of "competition"
some of us might decide to make ribs after all....
(or might stick with those shrimp our husband loves...)

Sounded like a good concept initially when I thought of it..

but after thinking about it, the time constraints, and the nonsense I see on Pitmasters, I'd rather share than compete.
