For anyone near Alexandria VA or wanting a road trip this weekend, there is a big neighborhood BBQ competition at Waynewood Rec Pool, 1027 Dalebrook Drive, Alexandria 22308 starting at 2pm and going until about 7pm Saturday Sept 11. There are 13 teams, all backyard BBQers and smokers, entering 3 events, the second event is people’s choice and we feed the crowd. 10 dollars per adult gets you a free taste or two from each team. All money goes to charity. Open competition, no restrictions on electric, egg, stick burner, etc. Wide variety of food and technique…with varying skill levels. Live bands, BYOB. Family friendly. If you want to stop by Friday night and say hello, cooking starts Friday night at 6, ask for Jed at Smoking Raptor BBQ and I’ll give you a cold one!
