Title: BBQ Judging
Post by: RossP on August 13, 2010, 02:22:46 PM
Well I just signed up for a BBQ judging class to be held up here in Canada.
The  Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association is putting on a class here in Langley, just down the street form our office.
By Monday morning I will be an official BBQ Judge. Hoping to judge my first BBQ this September right here in town at
the BBQ On The Bypass ( http://www.bbqonthebypass.com/ ) I can hardly wait.

Congrats Ross! Sounds like a Fun deal.

Will be interesting to hear your opinion on what you taste at the cook offs

verses the taste of what you cook at home.

That sounds like fun.

I think about going, but will it make me a "BBQ snob" ?

Ross, where do I sign up???  I'd love to take part in a local class like that.  Who doesn't like free competition grade food????

I am now an official BBQ Judge and it looks like I will be a judge at

ConDa@@Grats Ross! I'm happy for you!

So now on my chicken turn in! Should I use just a thin set of sauce or is a thicker glaze more presenting? I really need to know!

I've heard you could 3-5 lbs of meat judging a contest so be careful and enjoy! Congrats!

Definitely learned a lot about how judges think taking the course. There were
four different BBQ teams there taking the course also, just figuring out
the way a judge thinks and exactly what they are looking for. We are
NOT looking for Tony Romma ribs :D thats for sure. Other than that
I am looking forward to doing some judging. At a full out competition
we were told to bring a cooler to put our leftovers in. We will be served
up to 10 lbs of meat at a competition. It's hard work but someone has to do it. ;)
