The inaugural event in 2008 attracted 20 world-class BBQ teams,
and it has grown steadily since then! We may have to limit the field to 40 teams in 2012! (Bigger is NOT always better . . . . .) We promise that the competing teams will love our “Monks,” the
teams' personal event assistants who will cater to their every whim! We provide terrific entertainment through the weekend, and we take care of our teams! In addition to the competition cooking and KCBS-sanctioned judging for the four categories, we also throw in several other entertaining little side attractions, including:
Monastery Mystery ($75.00 1st Place prize; ribbons for 2nd & 3rd)
The Monastery Mystery contest will again be open only to BBQ cooking contestants (one entry per team). The Holy Smoke Showdown will provide all Monastery Mystery contestants with the same three mystery ingredients, and contestants will then prepare a dish “entirely on site” using all portions of the three mystery ingredients. Additional ingredients could be added, and ingenuity is definitely a key ingredient. KCBS rules “do not” apply to this special presentation.
Smokin’ Salsa Contest ($75.00 1st Place prize; ribbons for 2nd & 3rd)
The Smokin’ Salsa contest will again be open to the general public. One entry fee will allow one batch of salsa to be entered for judging on Friday. Salsa will not be required to be prepared “on site.” Your Smokin’ Salsa entry fee will include one (1) free BBQ Showdown event entry pass on Friday only.
‘Creatures of Habit’ BBQ Sauce Contest ($75.00 1st Place prize; ribbons for 2nd & 3rd)
The BBQ sauce contest is open to the general public. One sauce dish per $15 entry fee. Same contest conditions as in Smokin’ Salsa Contest. Entries must be submitted for judging Friday afternoon, June
3 (exact times to be announced). See Contestant Rules for more information.
‘Sweet Confessions’ Dessert Contest ($75.00 1st Place prize; ribbons for 2nd & 3rd)
The dessert contest is open to the general public. One dessert dish per $15 entry fee. Same contest conditions as in Smokin’
Salsa Contest. Entries must be submitted for judging Friday afternoon, June
3 (exact times to be announced). See Contestant Rules for more information.
