BBQ Cook Off Guidelines and Entry Form
You're a good barbeque cook. You care about how your BBQ comes off the
grill and onto the plate. You've practiced and perfected your craft. Your
friends and family all love your barbeque. It's time to take the next step and
enter the California Beer Festival BBQ Cook Off!
CBF is looking for the best BBQ Teams in California! You and three of your
closet friends, family or co workers will compete for an $800 Cash prize for
1st place plus a brand new $1,000 Grill from BBQ galore! Your team will be
judged on four different categories and the winning team that has the highest
overall score will win the grand prize!
This is a non-sanctioned event so it's open to both rookie and experienced
BBQ teams.
THE CONTESTS
1. Teams up to 4 people only, may cook with any type of wood and/or
charcoal. Other flammables (propane, compressed or liquid gas, etc.) may be
used within the cooker ONLY to START the INITIAL fire. No type of
flammable other than wood or charcoal may be used within the cooker once
the meat has been placed there. Flammables may be used outside and away
from the cooker to make additional coals. Local fire and safety laws may
prevent the use of any type of gas anywhere on the grounds at any time, and,
if so, these laws prevail.
2. Electrical devices may be used within the cooker as long as they do not
directly generate heat. Approved devices include rotisseries, fans and
delivery systems for approved fuels. Electric smokers, holding ovens or
containers or any devices with heat producing electrical coils are not
allowed.
3. There will be four categories, Chicken, Pork Ribs, Beef and one open
category. The Open Category will be judged based on using BEER as an
ingredient in your grill entry. Meat must be cooked on-site at the contest
from a raw state whether fresh or frozen. Meat for all categories may not be
pre-cooked, sauced, injected, marinated, cured in any way, or otherwise pretreated prior to the official meat inspection. Meat must be maintained at a
temperature below 40 degrees Fahrenheit prior to cooking, and at or above
140 degrees during and after cooking.
Judging of the competition will be blind judging. Each team will be provided
a box to place the entry into and one team member will be responsible for
bringing the entry(s) to the judging tent on time. Any meat brought to the
judges table after deadline will be disqualified from that category.
4. After your meat has been submitted to the judging table, your team is
obligated to sample a minimum of 50, 2oz. samples of your meat to the CBF
guests. The general public will also be able to vote for their favorite BBQ
team, so your samples are VERY important!
