BBQ Judging

[RossP]

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.

[SouthernSmoked]

Ross, that sounds like a lot of fun...

[ronbeaux]

Sweet. I like getting to taste everybodies food. It helps.

[TestRocket]

Very cool! Congrats and good luck. It sounds fun!

[FLBentRider]

That sounds like fun.

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

[StickyDan]

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????

[RossP]

As of today there was one spot left. You can sign up at
Well Seasoned, http://www.wellseasoned.ca/ The cost of the
course is $50.00 plus tax.

Dang, I think I missed it. 

[RossP]

I got it and here is the proof



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

BBQ on the Bypass on September 19th. It is the first one I can make.

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. ;)

Well, I think we can all appreciate your sacrifice! 
Hang in there! 
Just take it one bone at a time, and struggle on!!!  DO IT FOR THE TEAM!!!!
Awrighten.

Congrats Ross!  Wish I could have made it.  Oh well, maybe next year. 
Let the games begin!
