Bellevue Ne. Red White and Que.

July 18th and 19th. Nebraska state BBQ championship..

Anybody coming to that. I thought I saw someone mention it in a post not too long ago.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't plan to compete but will surely be there as "official taster"! Where's it at?

I wanted to do this one. Grew up in Bellevue. Having trouble getting a team assembled though. I'll likely at least drop by and smell the Q.

It's been at Hayworth park in Bellevue the last several years. It's part of "Riverfest"

Usually the only people who get to be tasters are official judges.. but there are several Que stands set up that sell some..

I went a couple of years ago.. but it's usually 100 frickin' degrees out.. that's way to hot for me to be far away from an air conditioner.

Of course that was before I got my smoker and joined the fray.

Might have to check it out. Thanks for letting us know.

I go to the ribfest here in Lincoln, but have never been to the one in Omaha....I've got to imagine it's as good or better than Lincoln's.

Us Eastern Ne / Wester Ia guys should set up a team.

I'm all for getting together at a BBQ place, eating some Q, having a brew, and talking about a team.

 

[master_dman]

Anybody else?

I might be down.... although I have a son being born in about a week sooooo better talk to the boss lady before I commit to anything. What would we use to smoke on all I have is a GOSM which is propane (don't think you can use propane) and an ECB which I'll use it would be fun.

I have the 40 inch Brinkmann smoke n pit.. Seems to have enough room for a brisket.. couple butts.. several ribs.. maybe more.

 

[invader q]

I've got a UDS that I just finished.

I'll be there but I don't want to compete. I'm waaay too much of a noob for that yet.

My BBQ team will be there(Smokin' Up the House), please feel free to stop by and have a cold one with me. I always try to have some sort of Q ready for people to try on Friday nights around 7.. hoping for BBQ pizza this time.
