What is it? – A group of people (the “competitors”) will cook Ribs (pork), Pork Butt (pulled pork), and Brisket (beef) through the night and early morning hours of the event. The competitors can cook any or all of those items. Given that the competitors will be individuals and not competition teams it’s unlikely many will attempt to do all due to space restrictions. So if you’re only good at one of those things then by all means sign up. They will necessarily consume large amounts of alcohol in the process and have been given advance reprieves for any untoward behavior they may exhibit. Another group of people (the ‘consumers’..get it) will then arrive without having done any work whatsoever and partake in all of the goodness that is BBQ. We’ll follow KCBS rules for the most part.
Sounds yummy! But when is it?
We are currently looking at the “spring break” period (generally in mid March). As weather is always a factor in the St. Louis region at that time of the year (short sleeves, Down jacket, or rain slicker?) we’ll firm this date up as it approaches and ideally have a backup date.
Well how can I keep up with the plans or volunteer?
