Kingsford Points Chase In
Full Swing
The competition is heating up in the Kingsford Points Chase, with last
year’s grand champion, Quau leading the chase.
In the third event, held April 15-16 in Springfield, Mo. at the Rock’n
Ribs BBQ Festival,
Quau took home another grand championship in addition to
their Kingsford Points
Chase win. Mike and
Beth Wozniak, the talent and brains behind
Quau, also took home
first place in chicken.
The successful team
offered up the following advice to aspiring
Que’rs, “Cook in organized competitions as
often as possible! Only
by having your barbeque rated by judges who all have similar training
can you get an idea of what needs to be changed or tweaked. Your friends
and neighbors are the worst judges; first they don’t want to offend you,
and second they may not know
what is good BBQ.”
That same weekend, in Salisbury, Md. Tom and Michele
Perelka of Lo-n-Slo BBQ took
home their first Kingsford
Points Chase win of the season.
What started as a joke on his
40th birthday has earned Tom
more than just an “I told you
so.” In 2005, Tom’s wife Michele bought him a small, inexpensive smoker for his birthday
and said, “If you think you can
cook like the pros on the Food
Network, have at it.” A few
modifications and one contest
later, the joke was on Michele – Mike took home fourth place in ribs in
his first competition.
Their team name was inspired by the “low and slow” method of preparing award winning competition barbeque. They may have dropped the
“w” in low and slow, but they’ve added a few other “w’s” to their belts
– wins.
After taking Easter
weekend off, the Kingfords Points Chase
didn’t miss a beat at
the Stagecoach Music
Festival BBQ Championship in Indio, Calif. on April 30-May
1. Getting the chance
to competing against
some of the best teams
in the country is perkenough for many, but
throw in some great country music and you’ve got one heck of an event.
Now imagine winning that same competition – and the Kingsford Points
Chase.
For “Dangerous Dave” Malone, that dream became a reality when his
team, All Sauced Up, took home the Grand Championship at the 2011
Stagecoach Music Festival BBQ Championship in Indio, Calif. It was the
second Stagecoach Grand Championship for Dave.
All Sauced Up consists of Dave, his wife Mary Beth and their nine-year
old son, Ryan. The family team is based in Valencia, Calif. and has been
competing for three years.

We Have a
Winner!
Pipin’ Hot Wins Inaugural Reser’s Potato Salad Competition
The Heat is On! At least it was at last month’s Stagecoach Music
Festival BBQ Championships where 19 teams competed in the first-ever
potato salad competition sponsored by Reser’s.
Congratulations to Debbie Schroeder and Kelcey Sass of Pipin’ Hot for
taking home the first place prize of $700. We caught up with Debbie
after the competition to ask her a few questions.
Q: What was your secret ingredient?
A: Our secret ingredient is actually the skill of blending individual
flavors to create a unique taste. For this competition, we kept it simple
with a flavorful blend of eggs and sweet pickles.
Q: What prompted you to enter the Reser’s Potato Salad Competition?
A: We love a good challenge! I guess the stress of the actual BBQ competition isn’t enough, so we have always entered the additional contests.
Q: Which category does potato salad best complement?
A: Definitely chicken. Who can have BBQ chicken without potato
salad?
Q: How did you get started doing competitive BBQ?
A: Would you believe on an airplane? My husband was reading an article in an in-flight magazine about a gathering called Q-fest in Southern
California. He thought it sounded interesting, so we went to check it out.
We met some great people; and we were hooked. It started on a whim and
became a very expensive hobby, involving the whole family and a catering
business on the side.
Q: Describe your perfect backyard BBQ.
A: Great company, great weather and great food! I like to start with
burgers and chicken and then add some zesty potato salad and finish
with some refreshing watermelon.
Q: Tell us about your winning recipe.
A: I have a co-worker who often brings potato salad to potlucks. On a
whim, I asked her for her recipe, enhanced it a bit, and decided to try it
out on my family. The reviews were really good, so I knew it was special.
My sons describe it as “tasting like deviled eggs.” It is loaded with eggs,
so that is a pretty good description, and enhanced by sweet pickles, celery and black olives. A good mayonnaise like Best Foods helps make it a
creamy, wonderful potato salad.

Barbeque, Barbecue, Bar-B-Q
or BBQ -- no matter how you spell it, whether
it’s used as a verb or a noun -- Now is the time to do it!
Even if you’re grilling burger and hot dogs for friends and
family, it’s a barbecue event! If you’re cooking a tough
piece of meat low and slow and babying it to tender, succulent perfection, that’s barbeque!
This year, KCBS rewrote our mission statement and
embraced barbecue as America’s Cuisine. We celebrate,
teach, preserve and promote barbeque as a culinary technique, sport and art form (this doesn’t mean that sculpting meat in the turn-in box is now okay!). As members
of KCBS, whether we organize contests, judge or cook
in competition, let’s remember that “teach, preserve and
promote” barbeque is something that each of us can do.
When we’re cooking outdoors and a neighbor asks what
that wonderful aroma is, tell them. That’s teaching and
promoting barbeque!
May YOUR smoke always be Sweet!
Candy Sue Weaver
President, KCBS Board of Directors

Minutes from
the Board
and as soon as the overview is received, the committee will further develop a new program on paper. Committee chairpersons are planning
a time to be determined to visit the site of what appears to be a very
successful program in Crossville, TN for high school students that specifically teaches and promotes barbecue-related cuisine and sponsors a
reputable young team on the KCBS circuit. The Education Report was
accepted as presented.
CBJs & Judging: Mike Lake
Mike Lake has discussed with Mike McCloud the feasibility of putting
together a web-based program for continuing education/refresher for all
CBJ and MCBJ’s and will be submitting proposals to Mike for cost analysis, etc. Because issues regarding taste are subjective, the program will
most probably be rules and regulations based, and the program will be
focused on stressing the other aspects of judging. Mike asked for specific “test” question from the board, and asked the board to recommend
if there should be incentives for judges to complete the program.
MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF
KANSAS CITY BARBEQUE SOCIETY
BOARD OF DIRECTOR’S MEETING
April 13, 2011
Kansas City, MO
Meeting was called to order @ 7:05 central time by President Candy
Weaver. The following members were present in person or on the phone: Candy Weaver, Mike Lake, Mike Budai, Randy Bigler, Arlie Bragg, Gene
Goycochea, Don Harwell, Merl Whitebook, Mark Simmons, Tana Shupe
and Wayne Lohman. Paul Kirk was absent. A quorum was present.
The following members dialed in: Thom Emery, Vickie Peyton and Dale
Newstrom.
Thom Emery was given three minutes to address the board.
The board recited the KCBS Mission Statement and Board Pledge.
Motions to accept the Minutes were made by Wayne Lohman and were
seconded by Mike Budai. The minutes from both meetings were accepted as presented.
Merle Whitebook left the meeting at 7:16 p.m. CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENTS: Statements were received
from Mark Simmons, Randy Bigler, Wayne Lohman, Tana Shupe, and
Paul Kirk. Per a request from Arlie Bragg, Tana Shupe will send copies
of the statements to all board members.
Philanthropy: Arlie Bragg
Reported that we have to date received 3 Grants and 11 Grants-in- Aid. We are approaching the deadlines for these and will give a more detailed
report so that the BOD can vote on the funds next month. Arlie will email
the applications to all board members.
Reps: Mark Simmons
The Rep committee has reviewed all of the critiques that have been
turned in.
Due to an ongoing effort to go green, the ability of competing teams
to access the KCBS website, and that as of April 6, 2011, the office has
received only 12 contestant critiques out of 847 competing teams (less
than 1.5%), Mark made a motion that we adopt a policy for the reps to
encourage the competing teams at the cooks meeting to fill out their critiques on line and that paper contestant critiques no longer required to
be distributed to the teams. The motion was seconded by Randy Bigler. The motion passed unanimously. All board members will be given access to the site to view the critiques.
SANCTIONING & MENTORING: Wayne Lohman
Wayne reported that the contest in Westport, CT is a new contest in the
competitor series, and that the date for the Kearns, UT date was incorrect. It should be listed as August 12-13. Wayne made a motion that
the contest in Kingston, Rhode Island in 2012 be approved along with
all listed contests in the April New/Change Requests Report. His motion
was approved by Don Harwell and passed by a unanimous vote.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Visit KCBS.US!!!
Marketing: Tana Shupe
Shupe made a recommendation that the Marketing Report be the first
committee report to be given at each board meeting to respect the time of
Mike McCloud who, although instrumental in preparing this monthly report, is not a member of the board. The consensus of the board was that
this is appropriate and accepted the recommendation. Mike Lake reported that the Sam’s Club BBQ contest held in Gilbert,
Arizona went off without a hitch and that the only negative was the inclement weather.
Candy Weaver reported that a check has been cut for the truck and
that the National Pork Board accepted offer of $60,000 plus $10,000 in
services (i.e. ads in Bullsheet and on website.) Other issues regarding the
truck are: timing to wrap the truck, no one from KCBS has been inside;
arrangements must be made to move it from Iowa to KC and to arrange
for storage. It has gone to a mechanic, and we are waiting on his report.
Finance: Mike Budai
Mike Budai reports that Finance Committee members are Mike Budai,
Mark Simmons and Kim Collier. The Finance committee recommends
adopting the March financial statements attached. A motion to accept
the financial reports was made by Mike Budai, seconded by Randy. Reports were unanimously accepted.
Rules: Randy Bigler & Arlie Bragg
The rules committee has discussed the remaining rules that came out
of the meeting at the banquet and asked for an eblast be prepared to
send to the members in August. Committee will work with Technology
and will come back to the board in May with details on implementation
and notification of the blast.
Education: Paul Kirk
Committee Members: Paul Kirk, Tana Shupe, Jerry & Barbara Skinner,
Mark Davis. Jerry is preparing an overview of the former CATS program,

Here comes the low and slow cooking Crew
CONTINUED FROM THE FRONT PAGE
Friday night about 20 of us we were invited to the Havinga’s home for
an amazing Indonesian dinner. Linda Havinga, her sister Shirley and
Linda’s friends Sandra and Marja spent much of the prior week preparing
countless wonderful dishes. We felt so warmly welcomed!
The day on Saturday started with a “KCBS Style” judging class for
both the cooks and judges of Sunday’s “mock contest”. Bill and Debby
led the class, discussing judging procedures, rules and most importantly
the criteria for scoring. Both cooks and judges were totally absorbed in
the information, participating with excellent questions.
After a 15 minute break at noon, Jim proceeded with a very comprehensive Low and
Slow cook’s class. First
a butcher explained
and demonstrated each
meat as American and
European cuts of meat
vary. For example, Beef
brisket is not a common
cut of meat in Europe
and is often hard to find.
Teams then cut their
own brisket and pork
getting their own hands
on experience. The marinades, rubs and sauces
were sampled while Jim discussed their properties and how to pair and
utilize them with each meat. The in-depth discussion continued moving to cooking methods, times and temperatures, through box prep to
the integration of cooking times with competitive meat turn in times.
Throughout the class, Low and Slow cooking style was emphasized as a
means to the end product.
At the end of the class it was time to choose which cookers would be
used for the “contest”. Harry had arranged to have vast array of different
cookers at the teams’ disposal. From off sets to ceramic—he covered
them all. As Saturday night approached, it was time for the teams to go
to work. The anticipation was high and each team felt as if they could
win the contest. It was real barbecue fun. We never imagined how both
judges and cooks would enthusiastically welcome everything we taught!
At the end of this day words could not express the excitement and exhilaration that we felt!
Easter Sunday morning came. While the teams were cooking, the
judges were arriving. We had the judges room set up with four tables of
five judges, the table captain
being the sixth judge. The
table captains were Bill, Maria, Wayne and Becky. Three
Master Judges and a certified
judge and cook. A great team
that LOVES to talk BBQ!
We reviewed the judging
procedures and what they
should be looking for in the
four meats and started our
judging with chicken. We had
an hour in between turn-ins
so we as table captains and
each judging table could critique what we sampled. The
brave cooks came up to the judging room so they could hear exactly
what was said about the products and we had the boxes marked with
team numbers. The cooks could look for their box and listen to what the
judges had to say.
Our judges were “right on” with their opinions and were never far apart
on scoring. We were amazed at the scoring consistency and the judge’s
explanation for their decisions. You would have thought that they were
seasoned judges!
By afternoon scoring was completed and it was time for the awards.
Harry Havinga was the MC and did a marvelous job awarding trophies
(special models found on-line by Harry and hand carried from the U.S.
by the Lohmans and Gages) to the winners of each category and a Grand
Champion. Oh…by the way…remember we mentioned Tony Stone and
that he could not make the trip…..Well, Harry decided to name the contest…THE TONY STONE LOW AND SLOW BBQ COMPETITION….with
plans to make it an annual event!
Chicken…1st Place…..Harry and Twiske…2nd BBQ Guru…3rd Just
Eat
Ribs…1st Place….Harry and Twiske…2nd Backyard Warriors…3rd
Five Q
Pork…1st place….Five Q…2nd Traiteur Matthias 3rd Just Eat
Brisket..1st place…Five Q…2nd Backyard Warriors…3rd BBQ Guru
GRAND CHAMPION…..Five Q
The Low and Slow Cooking Crew would like to thank Harry Havinga for
inviting us to work with him on this exciting new adventrue. We would
also like to thank all the teams, judges and families that attended.
We look forward to spreading Low and Slow passion whenever and
wherever we are given the chance!
remus says:
Bob Carruthers, Ride
in Peace
By Remus Powers, Ph.B.
At least a decade ago, Tana Shupe asked me to play host to a “really
nice fellow from Australia” who was coming to The Jack for his first time.
Seems this fellow, Robert Carruthers, was a big fan of Jack Daniel’s and
barbecue. He had met some Brown-Forman executives in Australia. They
had told him about The Jack. One thing led to another and Bob was invited to come to Lynchburg and judge. He returned every year thereafter,
and became the longest continuously serving international judge at The
Jack. Bob’s annual trek to Lynchburg was an irresistible return to the barbecue and whiskey mecca of the
world, as well as a family reunion
of sorts with his many American
and international barbecue friends.
As The Jack grew in significance to
Bob he was one of its most ardent
promoters worldwide. Tana told me
recently, “For me, The Jack certainly won’t be the same without
Bob.” Dayna Chastain, one of Bob’s
many close friends at Jack Daniel’s
told me, “We’ll all surely miss his
quirky humor and his sweet kindness.”
Bob was an unofficial Australian ambassador. He loaded his suitcase
with Australian mementos such as key chains, playing cards and hat pins
to give away at every opportunity. One of his American friends told me,
“Lately I’ve been cleaning around the house, and keep coming across a
variety of Australian critter key chains that Bob would bring each year to
The Jack.”
On a personal note, Bob was indispensable to me in distributing magic
hickory nuts at The Jack each year. He kept track of who had their nut
and who needed one. As the number of teams increased, our job became
more challenging. Two years ago Bob suggested getting help from KCBS
staffers Dawn Endrijaitis and Kelly Cain to pick up the slack when we
ran out of time but still had nuts to distribute. They have done that job
so well that Bob suggested to me last October, “You should think about
handing this responsibility over to Kelly and Dawn in the future.” Fortunately, they have agreed to help carry on this tradition, with Bob helping
us in spirit.
Be it coincidental or providential, during the time Bob was fighting
for his life in a hospital in New South Wales, a new 56-foot tall stainless steel outdoor sculpture was installed on the grounds of the NelsonAtkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. The artist, Roxy Paine, named his
KC sculpture “Ferment.” It’s a huge shiny silver tree with no leaves. Art
pundits see more than a tree. Some are reminded of the fermentation
that transforms corn, rye, barley malt and iron-free water into the sour
mash which is distilled into Bob’s treasured Jack Daniel’s whiskey. Others see the flow of rivers and highways. I’ll add train tracks, representing
Bob’s love of trains. Finally, some see in Ferment a network of blood
vessels and the neurons of our nervous system. I’ll not carry the metaphors further, as I can sense Bob looking over my shoulder now and good
naturedly saying, “You’re making too much of this, mate.” That would be
a typical Bob remark.
Bob lost his wife, Anne, to melanoma in January 2008. After recovering as much as one can from the loss of a spouse, Bob moved forward,
absorbing himself in work, travel, and barbecue events in America and
Australia. He introduced the Kansas City Barbeque Society to hundreds
of Australian barbecuers, and hosted several barbecue tours to America.
The last chapter of Bob’s life was a love story. Two years ago at the National Capital Barbecue Battle in Washington, DC, Bob fell in love with
our own KCBS Executive Director, Carolyn
Wells. Although comparing notes and emotions on the loss of their spouses was important to their initial rapport, they found
much more about each other that made a
strong foundation for a mutually fulfilling
life together. As their relationship grew during many months of companionship, phone
calls, and e-messages, Bob proposed with
an engagement ring gift packaged in the
middle of a series of boxes from large to
small. Carolyn was ready to say yes. They
knew, and all who knew Anne and Gary
knew, that their late spouses would be glad
they had found love and happiness in each
other. We looked forward to the wedding
and the joys of marriage that Bob and Carolyn would share together.
We can’t know why Bob’s life was tragically cut short by a malignant brain tumor. We can only take comfort
in knowing that Carolyn was with him during his final days, along with
his dear children, Jennifer, Susan and Matthew, his grandson, Sam and
sons-in-law, Jason and Brett, plus other family members and friends. He
was embraced with love, and he knew it.
Trees, real or manmade, as well as trains, will always remind me of
Bob.
None of us know what train he’s on now, but one thing is certain:
Bob’s train, like the train in Woody Guthrie’s famous song, is “Bound for
Glory!” Ride in peace, dear friend.
God bless Bob and Carolyn, and God bless their loved ones.
Ribs to ya,
Remus Powers PhB

Run for the Ribs
May 6 & 7, 2001
By Kathy Brazier
Louisville, Kentucky celebrated the 137th running of the Kentucky
Derby on Saturday, May 7th, but I can assure you, all the thoroughbreds
were not just at Churchill Downs.
This weekend will, also, be remembered for the inaugural Running
for the Ribs Barbecue competition that was held in downtown Louisville in the parking lot of our host, the
Wayside Christian Mission. Forty-eight
teams were present for the event, with
the competition ranging from 3 “Jack”
champions, an American Royal champion and barbecue book authors to
teams competing in their first ever competition.
The event kicked off on Friday afternoon with an invitational, winner take
all, rib cook-off. Six teams were invited
to compete in the event including; cancersuckschicago.com, Lotta Bull BBQ, QUAU, Twyford Barbecue and Catering, Big Bob Gibson BBQ and Moonswiners. The teams were provided
with spareribs and Big Green eggs on which to cook them. When time
came to judge the entries, the cooks had 5 minutes to present them to
the judges (who were all master KCBS judges, by the way), talk a little
about their cooking process and answer any questions the judges might
have had. When the tallying was complete, Chris Lilly of Big Bob Gibson
was the big winner and by big, I mean $3,500 big.
Saturday brought all the rest of the teams into the action. Our congratulations to the Grand Champion, Moonswiners (hometown team doing real good!!!) and Reserve Champion, Brutus and Company. (For the
category winners and complete placings, go to www.kcbs.us).
Our congratulations to organizer, Kevin Gros and his crew of hard working volunteers for putting on
such a great, first-time contest.
It is quite obvious that a lot of
time, sweat and effort went into
making this event the success it
has proven to be. Plans are already in the works to make the
event bigger and better for next
year, so if you missed this one,
you would do well to keep it in
mind for next year.
Also, our hats are off to the
cookers who generously provided over 1300 pounds of meat (some left
over from their cook for the day and the rest, extra butts that they agreed
to cook for the cause) to the Wayside Christian Mission and other charities to be distributed to homeless and needy in the Louisville area. Many
deserving people will get to enjoy the quality of barbecue that we take for
granted thanks to you guys.
On a personal note, our thanks go out to all our friends who helped to
make Phillip’s birthday so wonderful. Not many people can say they celebrated their birthday for three days before the birthday ever got here, let
alone, celebrated with hundreds of friends. We were both very touched
by the friendship shown to the “birthday boy”. Now, I don’t know what I
can do to make his birthday next year compete with this.
This Wonderful World of
Competition BBQ
By Mike Garrison and Jerry Bressel
All of us who benefit from this Wonderful World of Competition BBQ
benefit from the structure that makes it so great. This just didn’t happen.
Through years of experience, solving problems and addressing issues,
and creating an environment of fair competition created this structure
that we see today. Perhaps the most visible part of this structure are the
printed rules for BBQ contests. There is a portion of the rules that address the cooks and their teams, there is a portion that applies to the
judges and a portion for the Reps. This article deals with the Judge’s side
of the structure and a similar piece could be drafted for the teams and
for the Reps.
The rules are prominently displayed on the web site, are available at
all contests in printed form, and are clearly the most visible portion of
the structure. A recorded tape is played before every contest for cooks. A
different tape is played for all participating judges and it deals with the
judging criteria and items pertinent to the judging process. The Judge’s
oath that is taken before each contest is another very important part of
this
structure. Another part of this structure that perhaps should have a
more prominent role is the Code of Conduct that each judge signs at the
time they are certified. Since this does not receive the prominence that
the other items we have reproduced it at the end of this article.
In Mike’s case he has been judging for 28 years and his experience
actually goes back before the formation of KCBS. Jerry has been judging
for 10 years. Both of us are Master Judges and have numerous contests
under our belt. Generally we feel the structure of this Wonderful World of
BBQ is very familiar to us. However a general review of each part of this
structure would be an excellent review for all of us. We recently did this
and found a few items that were somewhat cloudy after all these years.
Personally this was a good move on our part and we would like to encourage all parties that participate in this structure to review their portion of
the structure. All of us would benefit from this, the contests would be
even better than they are now, and the future of competition BBQ would
definitely benefit. Try it, You will Like It!
There are six items in the Judge’s Code of Conduct, reproduced below.
This has been changed since I signed it so older judge’s should review
the current Code. You can find it on the KCBS web site under Resources,
Downloads, Judge’s Code of Conduct.
JUDGE’S CODE OF CONDUCT
1. I will treat table captains, other judges, contest officials, contestants, KCBS officials and the general public with respect, and
will by my conduct, bring honor to the KCBS and the office of
Certified Judge.
2. I will not consume alcohol or other mind-altering substances
prior to or during judging.
3. I will judge each entry on its own merits in keeping with the
KCBS standards.
4. I will remain silent and maintain a neutral body language
while I and others at my table are judging. Only after all judging
ballots are completed and given to the table captain will I discuss
the entries just judged if I or others choose to do so.
5. I will be true to my own taste and will not attempt to impose
my personal taste preferences on other judges.
6. I have read and understand KCBS’s Policy on Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment, and I promise to fully comply with
the Policy, as well as any other rules and regulations promulgated
by KCBS.
Contest Review
Slidell, LA
Slidell Barbecue Challenge
By: Bill and Debby Gage
Not far from the grand old city of New Orleans,
lies a little town called Slidell. I can tell you it was
anything but sleepy on April 1st and 2nd when the
Slidell Barbecue Challenge was held there….and it
was no “April Fool’s Day” either.
The Barbecue competition was created for the purpose of fund raising for the Slidell Noon Lions Club
and the Rotary Club of Slidell. As you might imagine, the beneficiaries of these funds were various
children’s programs in the Slidell area. This contest
is endorsed by the city of Slidell and the city once
again we were all warmly welcomed
by wonderful hosts and hostesses.
The organizers- Skinny (and Dixie)
King and Frank (and Carla) Jackson
led the welcoming committee with
their smiles and warmth.
The site for this competition was
in the heart of Old Town Slidell. We
had 37 of the best teams in Barbecue assembled to compete. The
teams lined the streets and all the
power and water that was needed
was provided.
The day began on Friday with Meat
Inspection and more placing of teams.
While the cooks’ meeting was held at
4:00PM, the vendors were setting up.
A dinner for the cooks and judges is a
tradition in Slidell. Shrimp Creole was
served in the court yard of the beautiful Dubuisson Art Gallery with an artist
led painting class offered after dinner.
Of course…delicious bread pudding
followed as a perfect Louisiana meal
ending.
Good music, wonderful food, fine weather and great barbecue camaraderie provided for a great atmosphere in a fun
venue.
Saturday came early, but in the fine style of
Slidell, a breakfast was put on for the judges
and cooks. It was another gracious touch offered in a lovely and historic setting. What a
great way to start the day!
The ever present volunteers worked with
the Back Yard, Kids-Q and People’s Choice
competitions , while Wayne Lohman and Bill
Gage held the Judges’ meeting. Vendors put
the finishing touches on their booths for the
big day and the crowds started to arrive. It was “go time”.
The first turn in was chicken at noon
and every half hour after for Ribs, Pork
and Brisket. We had some of the best
turn-in table volunteers and some of the
finest judges anyone could ask for and
the contest went off without a hitch.
Live music was playing throughout
the day and a raffle was held to help
raise funds.
The Awards were held at the main
stage at 4:30 PM…..and here is how it turned out.
CHICKEN…..1st Place..Chix, Swine &Bovine Bbq
2nd Place..Hambones by the Fire
3rd Place…Sill Smokin Bar-B-Q
RIBS….. 1st Place…The Long Dawgs

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
We had a grand time repping this contest. Thanks to Skinny King and
Frank Jackson for doing a fine job organizing, thanks to all the volunteers
who made everything possible.
Thanks to the Dubuisson Gallery owners, Mary and Eric Dubuisson who
kindly donated their building where we set up our bbq headquarters and
held our judging.
And to all the Sponsors, The City of Slidell and the Rotary and Lions
Clubs…we say THANKS!

This column is set up for any
KCBS Member to contribute
information about food safety or
barbecue, grilling
or cooking tips.
I want to thank everybody who send suggestions about putting together
our Teen Barbecue Drug Free Program. Here is our outline that we have
come up with and again we need your help.
Chef Paul and The Education Committee
HIGH SCHOOL BBQ PROGRAM
Drug-Free Graduates
PREMISE:
Social behavior is “learned” by repetitive pattern. (i. e. hunting,
fishing, shopping, Sports, church, racing, rodeo, skiing, jobbies, etc.)
The cycle or pattern is as follows:
Doing the activity – Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Discussing the activity – Monday, Tuesday
Planning the next activity – Thursday. Friday
Repeat – Repeat – Repeat
Most avocations fall into this pattern. This includes problem behaviors
such as Drinking, drugging, gangs, etc.
@ If a positive alternate activity is provided that appeals to young
people, they are more likely to be oriented to this activity than drinking or
drugging.
@ Students will break the pattern that produces drug addicts and/
or alcoholics by participating in a program that emphasizes drug testing.
Drug test are never ment to try to “catch” drug users, only celebrate nonuse!
PROGRAM:
The program provides:
*Positive Peer Pressure
* Cash Incentive for Graduating Drug Free
Here is a response from a student to a reporter.
Reporter: So does the cash insensitive pay you for not doing drugs?
Student: No. I’m not gonna use drugs whether I get paid or not,
but with this Program, I drug test to show I’m clean and I get rewarded for
behavior I would do anyway!
Leadership:
The leadership of this program would provide “Mentoring and Basic
Cooking Skills,” Training the Trainer!
*We need Help!
*We need Partners – Everywhere!
*We will help you get started!
By-laws are being completed that will address glitches in a positive manner.

Hasty-Bake Hardwood Charcoal
Soul Shine in Morgan County
By: Jim Knepper
In the wake of the tornados
that struck the US Southeast
in April, as a retired Paramedic and a current BBQ Catering Company owner, I felt the
compelling urge to help as I
always do. I watched the news
and saw the faces of so many
affected people and the devastation before them. I knew
that I had to help!
I also knew immediately
what we could do…our Traeger COM-200 is a 300+ sq. ft.
smile machine and they needed one of those down there! I put the word
out online and in person that I was heading to Alabama to cook BBQ for
folks before I really even had a plan! The response was incredible, all
of my friends and many local businesses contributed toward the cost
of getting to Alabama and donated bags and boxes full of everything
from household goods to PJ’s for kids! Our local wholesale club (BJ’s)
donated water even though they have no stores in affected states, in the
Manager’s words “because it’s the right thing to do”! My wife is a Nurse
Practitioner in Shippensburg, PA and
her colleagues kicked in TONS of donated stuff along with some schedule
help! I offer many thanks to all who
supported and contributed in any way.
I reached out to KCBS as soon as
I knew we’d be making the trip and
they pointed me to Ron Harwell in
Alabama as the ‘go to guy’ for finding
out who needed help. I had never met
Ronnie prior to this trip, but had been
in close contact with him every day in
the week prior to the trip. He lives in Morgan County, Alabama, which
got hit pretty hard by several tornados, and he made arrangements for us
to cook at the Sheriff’s Command Center for volunteers and members of
the community.
All my plans had fallen apart and I was working on ‘Plan Z’ when I left
Thursday night…I didn’t have the space or help that I anticipated, but
Ronnie assured me that we’d get it done…so I had faith! In the hours
prior to departure, I had made arrangements to pick up pellets and spices at ‘the
BBQ shop’ in Scottsboro, Alabama where
Pat and his staff were incredible. I was
to pick up meats in Huntsville, Alabama
at Rocket City Meats and that’s where
I met Ronnie. Bill and Alan at Rocket
City hooked us up with a deal on cases of
Butts and Chicken….hopefully enough for
dinner and lunch and then we’d go from
there. We got to the command center just
after lunch on Friday…no time for napping, we had chicken to prep and get on
the smoker. Saturday, Roger Pope at Holaway’s store hooked us up a deal on beautiful Ribs and a church stopped by with
100+ pounds of sausages!
I was prepared to find a stunned community recovering from this disaster, but
instead found a very active, community driven command center that was
being run efficiently and effectively by Sheriff Ana Franklin. Everyone
was helping out and doing their part. Folks had smiles on their faces and
were as sweet as pie! I was surprised, but had work to do. In the short
time that I had known Ronnie, I had established that he was a good man,
a hard worker and that he LOVES BBQ…just like me! (He’s also a HUGE
Tide fan and makes no bones about letting anyone know!)
We cooked smoked proteins for Dinner on Friday, Lunch and Dinner
on Saturday and Lunch on Mother’s Day. I didn’t count, but I know it
was over 1,000 happy faces that we fed. BBQ did exactly what I knew
it would…it helped to provide a little ‘soul shine’ to people desperately
in need! Folks in Morgan County were busy rebuilding their community and their lives and they were lifting each other up! There were so
many faces and names that I dare
not mention any here as I wouldn’t
want to miss anyone, just know that
they are incredibly generous folks!
I had several offers to come stay
at people’s homes, but alas a man
and his Pit are hard to separate. I
took a significant amount of abuse
about the Pellet smoker, but it was
all good natured and tempered with
truly palpable appreciation!
I left Morgan County on Sunday
afternoon with 16 hours of driving ahead of me, 15lbs of ‘Haleyville’
catfish from a few of my MANY new friends and a healthy respect for the
folks of Alabama and their resiliency! I didn’t arrive with much, but left
with SO much more and BBQ was the common denominator!

Pipin’ Hot Wins Inaugural Reser’s Potato Salad Competition
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3
Sauce:
2 c. Best Foods Mayonnaise
½ - ¾ c. pickle juice
1 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. salt
1.5 tbsp minced “jar” garlic
1 squirt spicy mustard
Preparation:
Wash, but do not peel potatoes. Cut into quarters and boil until done. Cool
and chop into bite size pieces. Combine potatoes with eggs, celery, pickles and
onions and mix thoroughly. Add sauce and mix thoroughly. Mixture will be a
little soupy – not dry and sticky. If it is dry and sticky, add more sauce. Chill in
refrigerator overnight.
During the TV news coverage of the tornadoes in the South, Smithville,
MS was brought to my attention by someone calling in to report the severity of the damage there. They had real trouble – 16 dead, 150 houses
splintered, 14 of 16 businesses destroyed, and a car actually hit the top
of their water tank! Originally from Mississippi, I wanted to do something
for them personally, more than just writing a check. I discussed a trip to
the South among friends and found a member of Team Smoke EZ, Jim
Flewellen, who wanted to go also.
We jokingly called ourselves “BBQ
without Borders” and were quite
pleased to find support among our
friends and neighbors.
We contacted the Mississippi
Emergency Management Agency to
merge our plans into their already
organized efforts. We purchased
450 pounds of meat, 55 pounds of
spices for rub, 8 gallons of sauce
and a couple of huge ice chests, all
at a discounted price at Restaurant
Depot. We split everything up and literally stuffed it into our SUV’s to
leave early the next morning. On the way south from Chicago, we talked
to MEMA’s Susan Gregersen who had assigned us to join the disaster
relief team at the Church of Christ in Smithville. After a hard 12 hour
drive, we checked in with MEMA’s on-site team at the Church. Two couples led the disaster relief team at the church, Jim and Brenda McCrary
and Larry and Charlotte Dabbs. I mention their names because they had
already been there working for a week when Jim and I arrived; and I know
they had to be tired. They led a revolving team of volunteers to efficiently
provide hot meals and drinks to the residents and the first responders in
the town of Smithville. They found us a corner site on the church parking
lot and helped us set up.
On that evening, we lit up our two
Weber charcoal grills equipped with
our SMOKE EZ attachments in order
to attack the demands of the lunchtime frenzy the following day. We
established two cook cycles on the
smokers and quickly realized that we
were not going to get a lot of sleep. It
was sort of like a real long BBQ competition. Fortunately, Jim and I had
that competition experience of trading off night time cooking duties tending to the butts; so, that’s how we
worked in a couple of two hour naps here and there. The patrolling police
eventually got used to the fact that we were the only other people in town
awake all night. We were dedicated to cooking really good BBQ for these
folks; they had had enough hamburgers and hot dogs. Off-site there were
other teams with larger Southern Pride cookers preparing ribs and chicken to provide a nice variety to the menu. And the church kitchen provided
salads and side-dishes to complete the meals being offered. The disaster
relief team was set up to fry chicken nuggets, corn and French fries; and
they did a good job of moving through everything from the food lockers
at the local grocery store that had been destroyed by the tornado. The
dining tents hosted an orderly procession of local residents starting early
with breakfast biscuits and continuing through lunch and dinner. Brenda
was there every morning at 6:00am to make coffee, thank you.
We listened to stories of narrow escapes, lost neighbors, homes destroyed and cars flying around in the funnel cloud fifty feet above the
ground. The meals were a time for gathering with friends and sharing
their experiences. They were universally wide-eyed with despair at what
they had gone through. But they ate! That first lunch was a challenge to
get the pork pulled fast enough; each 30 pound tray lasted 15 minutes.
But then we double racked the SMOKE EZ’s with 50 pounds in each and
enlisted some help on pulling. Everything smoothed out nicely. If you
wanted BBQ, you had to get there early. But even in the midst of the
disaster atmosphere, people made their way back to our corner of the site
to say thank you.
Since we were smoking more meat
per meal than we anticipated, we
were on schedule to run out of meat
by the third day. Then a car just
pulled up next to our tent and a guy
asked,” Anybody need some pork
butts, I got four cases here”. Back in
business!! By the end of the week
we had cooked over 600 pounds of
BBQ, pork loins, pork tenderloins,
catfish and shrimp. Overall the site
was feeding 1200 folks a day. On Saturday, the Corps of Engineers ordered all the volunteers to be out by Sunday so they could bulldoze the
town and begin to rebuild. We closed down our efforts and, for the first
time in four days, we put out our fires.
On a sleepy ride home, it dawned on me that KCBS competitions had
really prepared us to participate effectively in the disaster relief effort.
And that the broad base of KCBS BBQ teams nationwide is equally as
well prepared. Those huge competition rigs, the talented cooks, the resources at their disposal, the great quality food they produce_all would
be warmly received.
I would urge all KCBS members to contact their state’s emergency
management agencies to volunteer at the time disasters occur. As the
leaders of the church group told me “We don’t need food donations right
now. We need the manpower to cook it up and get the meals out.” It is
not often we can contribute so much, so easily.
BBQ Tour Stop #3: Indio, CA
2011 Stagecoach Music Festival
April 30-May 1, 2011
On the way to Indio, Calif. for the Stagecoach Music Festival and BBQ contest, Christine
and I took a slight detour to help promote the Inaugural Sam’s Club National BBQ Tour in
Santa Fe, N.M. and Loveland, Colo. This was the first time in our BBQ Tour travels that
we encountered snow. I guess I should clarify this a bit more, we had light snow flurries in
the Denver area and then coming out of the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70, we encountered
a full white out and snow drifts up to the bottom of road signs. Luckily we had packed
long pants otherwise it would have been
a much chillier ride. Just
hoping for no snow when we return later
in the year for the BBQ at the Summit
event in Dillon!
Each year the Stagecoach Music
Festival has top notch country music entertainers and this year Kenny
Chesney, Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts
headlined the weekend festival. One other thing the festival does is move the BBQ
contest to a different location each year and this year was the best so far as the
teams were right inside the main gate. Each day when the gates opened, we would
watch people running to get the best seats in front of the massive stage. After people
claimed their spots with blankets, they would roam the grounds and make their way to
the BBQ area where we passed out hundreds of sample cups of Reser’s Potato Salad,
Master of Mixes’ Big Bucket Margarita mix and Bloody Mary mix.
My stage was under one of the big tents so we did not have to worry about the sun all weekend and we were right across the field from
the Ferris wheel. On Sunday I took a break and rode the Ferris wheel and could not believe the thousands and thousands of music fans
spread out over the entire polo ground complex! The tent allowed folks to sit at one of the many picnic tables out of the sun to enjoy
our demonstrations. While the sun was still high in the sky, we could not have asked for nicer weather in the upper 80’s, low 90’s and
light jacket weather later in the evening.
I believe that if I review the last couple of recaps of Stagecoach, I would find references to all the bikini clad young women who frequent the music festival. This year was no different as the Katy Perry song “California Gurls” lyrics “daisy dukes, bikini’s on top” came
to mind as the attire of choice.
This was the first Reser’s Potato Salad contest and while I didn’t get a chance to sample it, I was told that it was fantastic! Team
Pip’n Hot won the best Potato Salad crown along with 2nd place for Best BBQ and
When
Pigs Fly won best
BBQ along with Best Booth! All
Sauced Up showed their Stagecoach dominance by defending
last year’s Grand Championship
and by placing no worse than
third in a category.
THE 2011 GREAT AMERICAN BBQ TOUR IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL PARTNERS:
BBQ Tour Stop #4: Louisville, KY
2011 Louisville Run for the Ribs
May 6-7, 2011
The week following Stagecoach this year was a little busier than normal as we headed
to Louisville, Ky. for the Inaugural Run for the Ribs BBQ Competition on Kentucky Derby
weekend. Not sure if it was the 1,900 plus mile drive or the time changes going from
Pacific to Mountain to Central to Eastern time, but it seemed like we were going nonstop all week long.
We loaded onto the parking lot of the Hotel Louisville on Thursday morning and got
all set up for the busy weekend. Little did we know that we would have front row seats
for the Pegasus parade that rolled right down Broadway Street! It has been a long time
since we have been to a parade and Louisville brought out the big
floats, marching bands and inflatables
to welcome people to Louisville and
the derby. After the parade, we made it
down to 4th Street Live for a wonderful dinner and got to see some of the
downtown Louisville nightlife!
Kevin did a great job laying out the lot and did an even
better job moving folks around when they brought bigger rigs than expected. He
squeezed every last team into that lot and from walking around, everyone had a
wonderful time!
Friday was an invitational only rib cook-off with a bit of Memphis style mixed in
as the teams had to cook on a new Big Green Egg and then present to the judges.
Moonswiners, Lotta Bull, Twyford Catering, Quau, Big Bob Gibson’s and Cancer
Sucks Chicago cooked while Dr. BBQ emceed the contest. They were judged by
Master Judges and after judging, Chris Lilly from Big Bob Gibson walked away with
the $3,500 winner-take-all prize.
Saturday
brought a chance of rain throughout the area and finally started to really come down about
1:30, so the teams only had to fight rain for their brisket turn-in. Speaking of turn-in, teams
walked through the front door of the hotel and were greeted by two lovely Kentucky Belle’s
all dolled up with their big derby hats and “Gone with the Wind” dresses. At the end of the
day, Moonswiners rebounded from not winning the rib cook off to Grand Champion of the
Inaugural Run for the Ribs BBQ Competition!
After awards and clean-up, we headed back to
4th street for dinner and were lucky enough to
watch the Kentucky Derby on the local TV’s. It
was very interesting to see the locals hoot, holler and root for their favorite pony to win, it reminded us of our son-in-law when he watches
the Chiefs play.

Bone Doctors’ BBQ® named
2011 sofi ™ Silver Finalist
for Outstanding Food Gift
Tips From A Pro
By: Chris Marks
Three Little Pigs Competition BBQ Team
Quick Simple Steps
to Getting started
in a KCBS
Competition BBQ
Are you looking to make the jump to a full blown BBQ competition cook
from the novice backyard hobbyist? Here are a couple hints on how to
get a jump start that I teach to hobbyist looking at taking the jump into
the world of Competition BBQ.
Go to the KCBS website and download the rules and regulations for
competing in a KCBS sanctioned BBQ event. So many first time competitors spend countless hours practicing and spend hundreds of dollars
to enter a contest just to be disqualified due to not knowing the rules and
regulations that are posted and very strictly followed at each contest.
Here is a link to the rules and regulations:
http://www.kcbs.us/pdf/2011_Rules_and_Regulations_12-10-2010.
pdf
KCBS has trained instructors that present judging certification class’s
to get individuals certified as a KCBS BBQ judges. This will allow new
competitors to understand what is being looked for when it comes to
judging and scoring each individual category. You also get see how box
presentations are displayed for Judging along with understanding the
rules and regulations of the contests.
Here is a link for KCBS Judging Classes:
http://www.kcbs.us/classes.php
BBQ Class’s taught by experienced BBQ competitors, is a first step in
understanding how to cook like a KCBS competitor not like the guy in
the backyard.
I teach method and technique to the hobbyist who want to make the
jump to competition. These classes include details on what charcoals,
woods, meats, cooking times and other tricks that are used in winning
competitions and creating consistent BBQ product time after time. These
classes are offered across the United States by different instructors and
at different levels, so contact the instructor to check the experience
level that is bring taught at the class. Beginning level BBQ Competition
classes can take 2 to 3 years off the learning curve for the BBQ hobbyist
looking to make the move to competition cooking.
Here is a link for KCBS Cooking Classes:
http://www.kcbs.us/classes.php?type=c&year=2011&month=05
Do a couple of practice runs at home to get your process and timing
down. This is an important detail to get down before you show up the
contest and are overwhelmed by the atmosphere of your first contest.
This is the process where you document how much time it is going to take
to get the site setup, to getting the Competition meats prepared, smoking
times, slicing and finishing and getting presentation boxes completed.
Once this is completed and you feel comfortable on the timing and process it is the time to locate a contest and jump in and test the process.
The above steps will take time to get completed but it will save the first
time BBQ competitor a lot of heart ache and grief once he or she elects
to enter a contest.
The Kansas City BBQ society has great information on the website on
how to make that transformation from hobbyist to competition cook as
smooth as possible, so use the KCBS website as your first resource to the
BBQ competitive world.

Interview with a Master
By Dawn Endrijaitis
Recently we had a visitor to the KCBS office. This isn’t unusual; we
have frequent visitors to the headquarters all the time. Yet, this particular visitor was special. Richard Long looks like your average guy. His tall
and trim build suggests a man of great strength and intensity. Yet, when
he speaks his voice is gentle and soft. A man of few words, as we spoke I
knew that if he said something, it was something that needed to be said.
It’s not Richard’s stature or his calm demeanor that drew me to his
story, it was his history. Mr. Long was the first KCBS Master Judge. I’m
drawn to people who blaze the trail for others. Being the first of anything
takes a certain amount of determination that many people do not possess. I found this whole heartedly in Richard.
In 1986, while judging a sauce contest for Diddy-Wa-Diddy, Richard
met a man by the name of Gary Wells. Gary invited him out to the KCBS
office and gave him information about an upcoming judge certification
class being taught by Ed Roith. Intrigued, Richard signed up and took
the second CBJ class offered by KCBS.
It took Richard 3 years to earn his Master Judge Certification. Quite a
feat in those days when there were only a handful of contests each year.
Another extraordinary fact about this Master, this will be his 25th year
judging the Lenexa, KS contest…in a row! In addition, he has been judging the American Royal for 24 years. The one contest Richard wants to
judge and hasn’t? The Jack!
The love of barbeque was in Richard’s blood and was soon passed on
to his son who now has a team of his own. When I asked what scores
he would give his son, Richard told me his brisket would get all 9’s.
Chicken? Well, no bias here…it would receive 8’s.
Richard’s favorite contest to judge? Blue Springs Blaze-Off. Of course
it has nothing to do with the Harley Davidson motorcycle he won there in
2006. Or the smoker he won a few years before that. It’s the ribs. “I
love ‘em!”
I received a call from Richard the day after our interview. He asked me
if I could add one thing to this article. He wants to cook with a team.
Not just any team, he wants to cook with a winning team. 25 years ago
Master’s weren’t required to cook with a team. Richard would like this
opportunity and believes he could learn a lot from the experience. So, if
you’re competing in the Kansas City area and would be interested in this
opportunity, please contact the KCBS office.
Richard isn’t slowing down anytime soon. “As long as I can get around,
I’ll judge” he told me. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Paul Kirk Draws a
Crowd from
Around the World
By Jessica Erickson
In the twenty years since Paul Kirk’s first barbecue class in the
Pacific Northwest, his “School of Pitmasters” has grown immensely. This
year, Kirk’s April class, held at Brank’s BBQ in Sumner, WA attracted
the largest group of students yet. Enrollment was capped at twenty-two
teams, consisting of two or three people each. Kirk’s books sold out within the first two hours of the class, as many students were eager to learn
barbecue knowledge from the Baron of Barbecue, who has gone on to
teach his School of Pitmasters everywhere from Kansas to South Korea.
But this year, Kirk was not the only person doing some traveling.
Students came from across the country and around the world to learn
from the Baron. Lance Rosen traveled the farthest, coming all the way
from Australia to take the Pitmaster class. He plans to return to Australia
and open up a restaurant in Melbourne. He teamed up with locals Angela
Montonya and Rhonda Dicostanzo to from the team “Cooks without Partners.”
Robert Tobin, a chef in New York City, was recently hired to bring barbecue to a restaurant in London. However, Robert admitted that he had
absolutely no barbecue experience in his entire life, yet he was set to
leave for London in three weeks. His boss recommended that he fly out to
Washington to take Kirk’s class. Robert caught on very quickly, as he and
his teammate Brad Sorem of “Back of the House BBQ” placed in three of
the four categories and were named Reserve Champions.
Overall, this class in the northwest was very successful, with the largest batch of teams ever and participants from across the country and the
world. The Baron will be teaching two more Pitmaster classes this year:
one in Mission, Kansas on June 4th, and one in Midway, Kentucky on
June 18.

Meadow Creek Hosts Open
House Event
Startin’
the Fire
by George Hensler
Who Are Those Guys?
BBQ Team
What happens when it rains
at a contest?
The very short answer here is, you get wet. What I mean is, as B. T.
Barnum was alleged to have said, “the show must go on!”. If you have
been around competition BBQ cooking for any time at all, you will quickly
become aware that weather, and its changing nature, WILL come into
play at some time in your contests cooking life.
The first and most important way to deal with the weather is to be prepared. Watch the weather forecast prior to the event, not that weatherpersons are all that accurate, (sorry to offend weather-type personnel, but it
is the only job I know where you can be wrong most of the time and never
have to offer an explanation and still get to keep your job). I suggest
investing in one of those portable weather band radios with the alarm
feature, especially when you have humid summer skies and the chance
of thunderstorms. Many times severe weather is preceded by warnings
broadcast on weather frequencies, this is good information to have.
If the man calls for high winds, make sure you have everything tied
down and secure. If the rain is expected to arrive overnight, be sure you
have everything away and under cover before you decide to bunk down for
the night. Nothing is worse than being awakened by a fast moving down
pour and remembering your truck windows are open and you have left
your $100 instant read thermometer out on a table to get wet. Use your
head and prepare.
Weather consideration should also come into play when setting up your
cook site. Be sure you don’t have extension cords lying in areas that may
collect water. Also, depending on the amount of rain in the forecast, you
might want to avoid low lying areas when selecting your site, if you are
given a choice, think ahead and choose wisely.
Set your canopies and cookers in an area that offers protection from
the elements if you can. Knowing which way the wind will blow is very
valuable information when it comes to site selection and set up. This is
particularly true if you have a cooker that is affected by weather. High
winds and cool temperatures can play havoc with your cooking temps so
it is best to set up as efficiently as possible. You might consider a blanket
or cover for your cooker, just be sure to use a product that is made for
such use and not a blanket off your bed that has a chance to burst into
flames after 3 hours on top of your unit.
Be sure you have proper clothing, including footwear. If heavy rains are
predicted, be sure to pack raingear, boots, and dry socks. It is also a good
idea to bring along a few extra changes of clothes in the unlikely event
the cloths you are wearing get wet. Of course anyone that knows me and
my well known relationship with the ever-present Mr. Murphy of Murphy’s
Law fame, if things can get wet, they will get wet, and this INCLUDES
socks.
Rain, wind, sun, hail, even snow, the contest will go on. The guy that
is the best prepared to handle what ever Mom Nature tosses out, is the
team that will do the best. Be prepared, use your head and plan ahead.
It goes without saying you will never be able to control the weather, but
you can make a few adjustments and preliminary moves to try and reduce
the control the weather has on your and your contest cooking experience.
The most important tip, is to always be safe.
Neither rain nor sleet---well you know the rest. No one quite knew what
to expect when Meadow Creek Welding, manufacturer of barbeque equipment in New Holland, PA held its annual Dealer Meeting/Open House
Thursday, April 7 Through Saturday, April 9. With unseasonal temperatures in the forties and rain, the weather was anything but warm and
inviting, but nevertheless a crowd of unprecedented size enjoyed the festivities.
Thursday, fifteen of Meadow Creek’s
twenty-five dealers arrived early in
the morning from all over the USA,
for coffee and doughnuts; to renew
relationships and to meet dealers
new to the group. Company business
lasted throughout the day, with dealers learning about new equipment,
changes in equipment design, disIt’s serious business learning how to cussing issues they had confronted
over the past year, and watching
judge according to KCBS standards.
demonstrations of equipment operation. After a brief intermission the
dealers and their families loaded into a comfortable tourist bus and traveled about 12 miles to an Amish farm where they enjoyed a sumptuous
meal featuring many dishes typically found at Amish gatherings. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this fine culinary experience.
Friday, Meadow Creek hosted its 8th KCBS Judges School attended by
over 150 registrants. The class, conducted by Carolyn Wells of KCBS,
lasted almost a full day with students graduating after reciting the KCBS
Judge’s Oath and receiving their certificates, pins, and rules books. This
class may have been the largest class conducted by KCBS in its years of
existence.
How could so many people want
to be judges? Well, local wisdom
has it that many of the registrants
were actually competitors in KCBS
sanctioned events and come to
learn how categories are judged.
That makes sense given that New
Holland, PA has become the destination for thousands to experi- Cold rain didn’t dampen the enthusiasm

land Summer Fest, the local community park provides a great venue, hosting over seventy teams competing for not only relatively big money, but for the opportunity to compete
in several national competitions, as well.
The owner of Meadow Creek along with two associates founded Summer Fest 12 years ago. While he is no longer an active participant in the
management of the event, Melvin Stoltzfus still has significant interest in
its success and is solicited often for his counsel. Melvin was also instrumental in the establishment of the Mid-Atlantic Barbeque Association
which has grown to be a respected force in keeping its members apprised
of regional BBQ news and keeping
competitions focused on family fun
and good food.
Later in the day, the annual auction
was held. Equipment was brought in
from the surrounding area including neighboring states and sold to
the highest bidder among the three
hundred registered buyers. Not limited to just Meadow Creek equipDealers gather around for instruction ment, offerings included custom

rigs, home made cookers, high end
trailer mounted catering units, concession trailers, and just about anything that someone interested in
expanding their inventory could want. There was literally enough to buy
that one could come from the auction ready to open for business.
Saturday was set as Meadow Creek’s Open House and Customer Appreciation Day. Historically, they have served free dinners on Saturday and
this year was no exception. Over eight hundred people enjoyed chicken
cooked on open pit trailer units manufactured by Meadow Creek, along
with generous portions of side dishes and a drink. There was homemade
ice cream for dessert, just for the asking.
Offering a view of some of the hottest new items in outdoor cooking
(pun intended) a number of equipment and supply manufacturers set up
displays at the open house. Providing visitors with information on the
benefits of the exhibitor’s products, they also gave those who were willing
to wait in line some very good samples of food cooked on their equipment.
All in all, in spite of the unusually poor weather this year, one could expect that given its history, Meadow Creek Welding’s Open House is bound
to get even better and should be included in anyone’s calendar as the
start of the season for barbeque in the east.
