I will second your nomination and welcome you to the SoCal Smokers section. The Woodshed is my go-to source for cooking wood, even though they are an hour away. They are strong California BBQ Association supporters and have graciously allowed us to hold classes there. And they offer a discount...
I'm not even sure you can get a permit in your name until your 18. Google Cal-Code (The California Food code) and get very familiar with it!!! Each county interprets it differently though. The state-wide Safe-Serve food handlers course is not recognized in Riverside county, they have their own...
It is defiantly worth going to!!! Go to http://santaanitabbq.com/ and click 'tickets' to order. Type 'bigmista' in the coupon code box for a 50% discount. I believe that code is still good. The wife and I will be there judging it, then hanging with a few of the teams afterward.
I haven't heard of anyone trying to put one together down there. April 5th there is one up here in La Verne, Last I heard it was full but they we looking at rearranging the setup area to try and squeeze in a few more teams. I would suggest attending some of the comps out here (a list of Ca...
Don't forget, King of the Smoker is coming up on the 7th of December 2013. This is a don't miss event!!! Head on over to www.kingofthesmoker.com to get more info and your tickets. Beginning at 1:40 pm there will be a demonstration ever 20 minutes from 10 different teams. Those tips alone could...
“If I win the A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER Contest, I plan to smoke for my father-in-law for Thanksgiving.” Due to age and health reasons, he can no longer cook on the Weber's anymore and rely's on me to get his fix of smoked foods.
4 out of 5 top 10's is great for a seasoned team, for a first timer it is a homerun with bases loaded. We would of done better if it wasn't for an "issue" with our fire. Tell you about it at Huntington Saturday.

Looks like the final count is 26 teams, with KCBS Licensing!! And thanks for all the work you put into organizing it Abel!!!! You are going to have my name pre-engraved on the trophies right?
Welcome Tony! If you are out and about this Saturday (Aug 10th) stop by 1010 S. Bon View Ave (Bon View Park) in Ontairo and meet some fellow cooks. Back yard event that is shaping up to be a good one.
I would say anything above the Grapevine is central. But we dont discriminate here, all are welcome :) Glad you joined us kranders, lots of good learnin' available on SMF!!!
There are a few guys around here selling orange wood but I haven't done business with them yet. I need to stock up and will probably go to The Woodshed in Orange county and see what they have. I would reckon better quality than local guys, and I trust them to know their wood. Locals, you might...
Welcome Lance. If they were a little closer I would get all my meat from Tip Top. If you are a KCBS member you can shop at the Miramar location of Restaurant Depot. They sometimes have some good Certified Angus, or at least the Colton location does. Mostly I get my briskets at Sams though...
NOT a good way to make friends in here. As a "Fabricator/Weldor" (and yes weldor is the person performing the welding) you shouldn't have to ask how to keep the tank from rusting any more, what size metal to use for the frame, how to cut an axle and the tank, how to keep the door from springing...
It's time to build a bigger horizontal SFB pit and put it on wheels. A 150-200 gallon propane tank would be ideal, but they are hard to come by out here, cheaply anyway. So my next idea is a double barrel drum smoker. Not a top and bottom type, rather cut one end out of each barrel, weld them...
Welcome to SMF!! I too would be a little concerned about the boat trailer being heavy enough to carry all that weight. You might consider bracing the trailer up and use a heavier axle, not the one that came with the trailer. I will be watching this one also to see if I get any new ideas for my...
