Also had a taste of some of the US rubs & sauces that he brought from home, he was telling us the UK customs were curious about why he was bringing them into the UK for... Ice.

Icefever Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 What a weekend!!!!! we made the decision to go about 0700 on Fri morn....we are so glad we did....for all those that didn't make it, put next years in your diary now. Sat the sun shone all day it was great talking to the teams, having a pint with @wade, then going back to the hotel all happy and ready for bed. Got up this morning, weather not too bad, a bit grey but dry. After breakfast, we set off to drive the 10 mins to the site. Parking we walked in and started chatting with a couple that we have met yesterday, who was in the comp today. Walking on around the site we stopped at our LA guys gazebo to wish him luck, where we were asked if we would like to volunteer to help in the Judges tent?? At first, I thought "no way"....but Rosemary said "why not it'll be fun"...so I agreed. We made ourselves known with one of the KCBS reps who were brilliant, Rosemary had the job on the "grazing table", which turned out to be the best job going. We came away with enough meats to feed a family for days. I had the job of checking along with a KCBS judge the team's number, then allocating another number to their box of food before handing it to another KCBS guy who put it in a tray ready to go to a numbered table for judging. This way two folks check all the numbers, that way no mistakes. We made our farewell to Wade and everyone else, bought a box of coco briquettes that almost every team there were using and arrived home happy and tired, glad there's no work tomorrow.

Smokin Monkey Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 It’s great to get involved, and yes the grazing table is the best area to be in, all that food and you can compare all the entries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Just a few photos as promised from the event... Chewing the fat over a pint...Wade, Rosemary. Mel Rhodes and 4 or 5 other KCBS judges. Rosemary found the ribs or brisket when the teams serve up their food to the public. Some of the teams from Holland, Belgium, Canada, I think from Italy also, all in there were 37 teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take some piccies if I remember and set a thread up if they work. It is very basic, but going to follow this recipe Bought some Tesco Premium Sausage Meat and I will coat it in Bulls Eye Smokey Bacon Sauce . Not done it before but it looks easy enough on paper (famous last words) 😁 and the runny yolk makes it look very tasty, if i manage it. 1 hour ago, sub333 said: Nice! What's your burned ends recipe?

Going to use this recipe Once again not done this before and not sure why it is called Poor Mans Burnt Ends, Chuck cost me more than Brisket would have? But I like Braising Steak, which all Chuck is. Got a piece just over 1kg and will follow the recipe but use a homemade rub of Salt + Pepper and Onion granules and a teaspoon of Red Pepper Flakes. In place of the beer I will use a couple of spoonfuls of some of the ready made beef Stock you can buy in the big pots and use Bulls Eye Roast Onion Sauce to coat them at the end.
