FBA Cookoff Sebring,Fl Jan 7 & 8

Yep, wife and I plan to be there!

How late will the event run on Saturday? Nothing going on that Sunday, correct?

Tom, are you competing?

Hi, I'm a nubee to the forum. I live in Ft. Myers so Sebring is around 2 hours away. Would love to come and observe. I'll e-mail, but others might also appreciate some details about the event. Is there another link where other nubees can learn about FBA Cookoffs? Where it is, schedule of events?

Morning Nick,

Barbara and I just returned from the Felda KCBS cookoff and we,FireHouseBBQ ,will be competing at Sebring.

Looks like about 50 teams from around the country.

Sat categories will be chicken,pork ribs,pork shoulder/butt,beef brisket.

They are an hr apart.

Around lunch,there is usually a "Peoples Choice" where the public can sample and vote on all the teams' pork.

It is usually free,or a couple bucks, to sample all the teams' product.

Sebring has a large complex with indoor flea markets,outdoor fruit/vegetables,craft fair,carnival,vendors[of all types],music,etc.

Teams will arrive from afar, on Thurs.

Most of us will begin to filter in Friday morning.

As usual,Friday afternoon and evenings are good times to visit teams and look at equipment.

We are setting up,doing some prep,and socializing.

Sat. morning,the teams will be pretty hectic with turnins up to around 2:30 pm.

Our awards will be around 6 pm and we can pull out about 8 pm.

The general public will be there all weekend, for everything else.

There will be a number of us from the forum cooking there.

There should also be several forum folks judging.

Looks like 80� and sunshine,so come on out.

Thanks for the info, Tom.

Sounds like a great time. Looking forward to the pellet heads in action!

I'll be bringing all my digital camera equipment and hope to get some good photos for the CS forum.

See you Friday...
