CockyTalk's Open Rib Competition

cack · 12-29-2011, 11:45 AM

We're flirting with the idea in the "How Many ..." thread. Who all would be interested in joint a Rib cook off? It'd be an open comp with smoking, grilling, and any other methods. We have classes and then an overall Grand Champion.

If you'd like to post here and what method you'd do.

Im in obviously. bbq

I'll participate. Although I'm not sure how I'll cook yet. I'll have to play around and figure out which style turns out best.

warriorchief · 12-29-2011, 12:02 PM

I can't cook ribs for shit, haha. But I am a food-loving fat guy, so I'll offer to be a judge.

The Yancey · 12-29-2011, 12:28 PM

Distance would pro'lly rule me out. None of my equipment is really mobile. Chili is easier to do o the run and I have done that both as a competitor and a judge.

Can I judge?

The Yancey · 12-29-2011, 01:18 PM

BTW, I am not a big sauce fan. I want to taste meat, not drink sauce. I don't want "fall of the bone" style ribs either. I want to be able to wave a rib around before biting into its al dente goodness. In pulled pork I want big pieces of meat simply seasoned with a vinegar base sauce, not some mushy mess that is more sauce than meat. In ribs I muchly prefer St. Louis style over baby backs. Better flavor and texture. Here are some ribs ready for eating and a little butt ready for pulling and how I like it pulled.

These little butts are topped with bacon and are just a couple of hours into the low & slow.

This one is close to ready.

This has been pulled into large chunks and sauced lightly. After this glazing it was pulled again, lightly sauced again, and eaten. I do this additional higher heat glazing to help partially defat the meat and to give it a bit of crisp solidness. It can be served sandwich style or on a plate with knife and fork.

Good lookin Q there Yancey, nice job.

cack · 12-30-2011, 09:16 AM

Where's everybody that was all over this idea yesterday?

USCooper · 12-30-2011, 09:19 AM

I'm in cack!

USCooper · 12-30-2011, 09:20 AM

We could do it as an all-day baseball tailgate

cack · 12-30-2011, 10:17 AM

Sounds good. How will you be cooking ...?

I was actually thinking about that

scgamecox2001 · 12-30-2011, 10:44 AM

Still here, still down. Still thinking bout how I'll cook them.

cack · 12-30-2011, 11:25 AM

well I was actually meaning those that were in the other thread haha

If we do May-June ... the Baseball Post Season will be going on, so we could do a Saturday cook and keep an eye on how the Yardcocks are doing

COCKDIESEL · 12-30-2011, 11:28 AM

<----- Would be happy to be an impartial or bribed judge.

Best statement of the day...and I wouldn't mind being a judge or maybe an entrant depending on the dates times etc..

eightohhthree · 12-30-2011, 11:38 AM

Love smokin some ribs, and I'd be all for it, but I have a logistics problem.

Oh. Got ya.

I love the idea of doing it at the ball field. Also, would like to see some more people involved as well. It's not going to much of a competition with only three or four of us.

To those who are contemplating, let me tell you that I'm no pit master and probably won't win, but I'll sure as hell take any excuse I can to eat some good ribs and drink beer. So even if you're just a beginner or weekend griller, come on out and have some fun.

Speaking of pit masters, we should really try and get the finger lickin crew to come out there. Those guys look like they know how to cook some ribs!
