ok... so how does everyone feel about bringing back the "Friendly Rib Competition" (or chicken) ?? That's where we go out in the campground and ask 4 unsuspecting campers if they want to be judges for our friendly rib competition ... Myself.. I enjoyed it and had fun doing it ... so what if a professional chef wins.. it's still fun... and we all get to taste a bunch of tremendously delicious ribs...

So y'all let me know what you think ??

Cool beans.

I can walk around and be unsuspecting
 
I have been out of touch. Looks like a good weekend but will need to see if Ann can get some time off. Cuckoo is good folks, hope he can make the spring gathering.

Will post our site soon.

Let me Clarify on the "Friendly Rib Competition".. If we do bring it back ... You don't have to compete if you don't want...

It's not your normal/typical rib comp .. the way we go about it is... We go out in the campground and ask 4-6 campers (complete strangers) if they would like to be judges of our " Friendly Rib Competition".... we will tell them to be there at a certain time... Whoever wants to cook ribs will give one rib per judge... and then just ask the judge/camper to chose on a scale of 1-10 for each rib and write that score down (10 being highest).... all scores will be tallied up and the winner will have bragging rights until the next time ....

And then everybody eats the rest of the ribs along with the rest of Sat. nights dinner ... The unsuspecting campers/judges love it and we had fun with it...


On a side note... of those planning to attend already.. any thoughts on what you will be making ?? I'm not that computer literate so i can't make up a nice chart like Doug does for the first page.... but I'll update it the best I can ...
 
John says he interested in rib competition. I was thiking chicken, cant do both same day though. No room on smoker.

I'll bring eggs, acon and still have tons of plates from last gathering.

So if i get a couple racks from my local bbq joint and smuggle them in under the cover of darkness does it still count?

Really i smoked em.
 
LOL.. there's a Sonny's right on the corner where you turn ... That's where I get my chocolate/peanut butter covered ribs at ...
 
Hey Everyone...i've been crazy busy with travelling for work, family stuff and bbq events! But i'm home now for awhile so just getting caught up.

Keith - I think you can give me admin writes to this thread so i can add the chart at Page 1. Let me check.

I'm up for the Friendly Rib Comp! I would lean toward not getting outside campers involved in judging because in the past we've had some issues with that...the campers getting all the ribs and forum members now getting any, long voting times, more judges (kids) showing up then expected, actually finding judges, etc....Just my 2 cents. I know we want to keep it non-biased. We could do blind judging with forum members and guests?

And Yea i had to move sites because my usual was taken, but i'm right next door :) One we get the RSVP chart put together we can start divvying up "who is bringing what" as we have discussed in the past. 

Hope i didnt miss anything! I should be back on the forum more often. I haven't been home more than 2 nights in a row for i think the last 4-5 weeks
 
So I found pork belly's (skin on) for 2.59 lb ... If anybody is a bacon making guru and would like to give a tutorial on how to do it I can get some and bring them.... If anybody wants me to get some for themselves and bring them I can do that to... just let me know so I have time to get them ...

Doug.. the help setting up main page would be great if it can be done ...

Is there a "quick bacon" recipe? I thought it takes 10-14 days? But i'd love a tutorial! I've been wanting to do Pop's Brine for a long time.

I'd love to get some for a home project Keith.
 
Keith - i updated page 1 with a table for attendees. i'll also make up a camp map with names later on. Just hit the Edit button in the bottom left of the post to add info to it
 
I think I would be down for the friendly rib comp.

Also, on first page table of attendees, "@bobcats110"  - name is Mark.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.
