So this year, I would like to hit up one of the many barbecue competitions, grill festivals, or/and celebrations of outdoor cooking methods in general. I did a little research and these sorts of events are multitudinous! Some are huge national events and some are after-party events to small town county fairs.
Here is a little overview of the most tempting of the cookout competitions…

Best of the West Nugget Rib Cook-off (September)

Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue (October)
Lynchburg, Tennessee

National Capital Barbecue Battle (June)

Texas Steak Cookoff (May)
Hico, Texas
These are major league competitions, so to get our feet wet in the world of competitive grilling, I will be taking part in Smokin’ the Coeur d’Alenes Inland NW BBQ Competition, which will be held at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds on Father’s Day weekend.
Welcome to your weekend! -KB
