\"Bash

In the St. Louis area, the BBQ Bash in Wildwood sponsored by St. Louis Home Fires<\/a> is the premier BBQ event of the year.\u00a0 There’s not even a close second.\u00a0 Eight categories over two days, tens of thousands of visitors, 100 competitive teams…it’s massive and fantastic.<\/p>\n

The 2013 BBQ Bash saw SLABS a’ Smokin firmly stamp our names on the BBQ scene.\u00a0 Out of about 100 competitive teams, we finished 11th overall with THREE top 10 finishes.\u00a0 I can finally claim my Brisket<\/a> and brisket rub<\/a> as award-winning, and Ribs<\/a> and Pork<\/a> were our other two top 10 finishes.<\/p>\n

\"Bash

We also sold out of everything we cooked.\u00a0 We are a force in competition AND a force with vending!<\/p>\n

It is impossible to thank all of the people the helped make this event such a success.\u00a0 I have a wonderful group of family and friends that work their tails off, cook all day after getting 2 hours of sleep, never sit down, give creative cooking ideas and just lend me a tremendous amount of support.\u00a0 I would put our group up against any out there.<\/p>\n

To all of you readers:\u00a0 Keep cooking.\u00a0 Keep reading these recipes, tweaking and practicing.\u00a0 I promise they work.\u00a0 In my four years of competing, I have a dozen top 10 finishes in various categories.\u00a0 The proof is in the ribbons and trophies.\u00a0 If you want to take your BBQ to the next level, trust these recipes and techniques – you’ll get there.<\/p>\n
