Some folks seemed genuinely interested so I thought I would post an update on my BIL's barbecue team, Smoke Me Tender. www.smokemetenderbbq.com They have been in several contests since my post about the Great American BBQ in May. The Kansas City BBQ Society tracks the results/rankings for over 3,700 member teams, and they are in the top 10% of those rankings for 2009. But they haven't pulled off a championship this year - yet.
This past weekend, only 2 of the team members could make it to the event, but they still pulled out a first place for chicken; top ten placement for both ribs and pork; and 4th place overall out of about 40 teams. This was the Cross Points Barbecue Cookoff in Shawnee, KS.
Next weekend, they defend their Grand Championship from 2008 at the Jesse James Festival in Kearney, MO. Then, the big one, the American Royal is Oct. 3-5. They are in both the Invitational and the Open divisions. But I won't be able to be there, I have to go to Wyoming for my job. :cry2:
