Hi All. I also wanted to let you know we will have great raffles for the cookoff!!! We will be raffling off a FREE entry into the Taste of Grand Rapids KCBS event in July. We will also be raffling off a custom made Drum Smoker compliments of Steve Coddington(BBqBubba), as well as some other great goodies! It is also a good time to get your feet wet in the competition world without spending a lot of money. The unique setup allows for you to cook either 2 days (4 meats), like a real KCBS event, or one day (Ribs and Chicken).Hope to see and meet some of you there!!

Where is eagle michigan?

I can probably go on sat for sure, but friday is the wifes B-day, so I hafta see what she says before I commit to friday. I would enjoy meeting a few of the characters from this place, without driving 4 states away to do so.

 

[capt dan]

Looks like it is NW of Lansing. I can get there in 75-90 minutes. I will plan on sat for sure, gonna check on Fri!

 

[flyin'illini]

exit 84 south of I-96 just west of Lansing - just looked at google

I am a noob so won't compete but if I can get out there, I would like to so I can learn.

 

[richtee]

COOL! I'm gonna try to make it. Be good to see a few SMF folks close enough to attend.

 

[teacup13]

i am planning on attending, but i think i would like to participate in the judging...

[tonto1117]

If anyone is interested in cooking or judging please shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] so I can put you down on the list and/or send you a entry form. It will be a nice laid back event and alot of fun!! FYI..... alcohol is allowed and there's a party store right down the street...

LOL...Yes, judges can enter for the raffles as well as the cooks. Everyone except Bubba

 

[crewdawg52]

Me too. Could always use another trash can for cleanup after a comp!!!!!

Sorry Bubba, couldn't let it go........

 

[bull]

Ill be there to cook also.

The event is at the Eagle Park/Fairgrounds.

The driveway to the park is just south of the freeway exit and next to the big recycling dumpsters.
Turn and drive to the east end of the park.

Bumping this up, cmon guys, gonna be a great time and theres no pressure, just for fun!!

 

[peculiarmike]

Ya sure it's gonna be thawed up there by then??????
Smokin' in a snowmobile suit ain't fun.

(I've done it)

 

[crewdawg52]

But with the heat from the smokers and the suit, we'll be nice and toasty warm.......

 

[bull]

Bumping this up again.

 

[capt dan]

I really want to make this event, but the wifes birthday is the 25th, and I think she would kill me in my sleep if she didn't get a "lil" captain on her b-day!

But if there is anyone who could use a hand on sat, or would like some company, I would drive up to spend the day!

 

[tonto1117]

I sure hope so....this has been thee MOST horrible winter I can remember

Bumping this up again folks. We have 8-9 teams now and hoping for a few more. Come on....wouldn't you be proud to take one of these beauties home??? Engraved of course...

Hope to see some of you there!!

 

[capt dan]

That means I might be able to get a top 10 finish!

I'll start begging a lil more and see if I can get permission. I will be there on sat for sure.

 

[richtee]

LOL... Just put the bro on the spot...seems Sat. will work. I'd like to do the whole sha-bang, but can't do it alone. Looking forward~!

 

[tonto1117]
