Holy Smoke Backyard BBQ Cook-Off ~ Salem, Illinois

Holy Smoke BBQ Cook-Off

Saturday ~ August 9th, 2008

Over $600 in Cash & Prizes!

Brought to you by:

Illinois BBQ Society & Orchard View Winery

This BBQ event is a pre-cursor of the The BBQ Throwdown & Jam, is a fund raiser
for the
American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, and follows KCBS rules for cooking
and garnish.  Although a non-sanctioned event, this
fun contest is for all teams,
regardless of experience; it is a great launch pad for 'local' and 'new' teams to cook
in a
fantastic learning environment for honing their contest skills, and a great
place for
'seasoned' teams to try out new recipes and techniques!
