Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) BBQ Competition
Teams can check in Friday after 10:00 am to set up, have the mandatory meat/site inspection, and then start on-site preparation of four categories of barbeque: chicken, pork ribs, pork shoulder, and beef brisket. Turn-in times on Saturday will be 12:00 noon, 12:30 pm, 1:00 pm, and 1:30 pm for each respectively.
Even if you've never cooked barbeque competitively before, this might be your first attempt to compete with the big BBQ guns. Several accomplished and award-winning BBQ teams plan to attend. And beginners will find these experienced teams helpful and ready to offer their own competition tips and stories.

Professional BBQ Tip: Apple-Juice Spritz
Ever wonder how some champion BBQ pit masters keep their pork ribs moist and flavorful even with long cooking times? Many will put apple juice or white grape juice in a spray bottle and spritz their BBQ continuously while cooking. Another favorite spritz is to use a 50-50 mixture of apple juice and Jack Daniels whiskey.
Try it the next time you are cooking pork ribs the authentic BBQ way - low and slow.
