Arthur Illinois - October 9-10
CIBR-BBQ KCBS Competition barbeque
Same time, Same place. The weekend after the Royal close to 50 great KCBS BBQ teams will gather in downtown Arthur Illinois. We won't change much of the format, as things have gone well for the past few years. We'll still offer $1000 to the overall grand champion plus $500 to the runner-up. Check out the Competition Details pages for exact event details, and times and then mark your calendars and get your entry form filled in and sent off.
New to KCBS or competition BBQ? Each year we get a number of teams just getting their feet wet in BBQ and we're ready to help. Give us a call or drop us an email and we will try to make your participation easier ( short of giving you our best recipes. )
And...
Thrill-of-the-Grill Backyard BBQ Competition
If you want to get your ribs wet but are not sure of the effort or expense in full KCBS competition, our Thrill-of-the-Grill Competition is for you. Bring any grill you have, some chicken and ribs, some flavorings, a couple of lawn chairs and some refreshments and show us your skills. The bbq that pleases your family just might win you some cash and bragging rights. Check the event details tab to the right and give it some thought!
