Jack Daniel's 22nd Annual World Championship Invitational Barbecue Fuels Smokin' Competition
It's time for the Jack Daniels 22nd Annual World Championship Invitational Barbecue Fuels Smokin' Competition! October 22-23 in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
It's typical for the smell of Sour Mash to permeate around Lynchburg, the ever famous home of Jack Daniels. This weekend, the smell will be replaced with the smell of pit smoke!
Event's begin today, but tomorrow is the big day! 70 top teams from around the globe will be competing for the BBQ industry's top title! Teams from as close as Alabama and Tennessee, and as far away as Austria, Germany, Switzerland and New Zealand will be cooking off against each other. Canada will represent as well.
"The Jack" is considered to be the most esteemed BBQ competition in the WORLD. Yes, the world! Come see the best of the best grill it out for bragging rights to be named the Jack Daniels Grand Champion. Not only will the winners walk away with extreme bragging rights, but there will also be over $30,000 in cash and prizes. Something tells me winning THE title is worth MUCH more than that, however.
The teams are up against some very, very tough competitors. To qualify, each must have won a state championship with at least 25 teams competing, or a competition of 50 or more teams earlier in the BBQ season.
There will be seven categories: Pork Ribs, Pork Shoulder/Butts, Beef Brisket (my favorite), Chicken, Dessert, Cooks Choice (always interesting) and Jack Daniels Sauce (always tasty!).
Live music and games make this a great event for all!
Bring your Dog for the Country Dog Contest! Dogs can participate in "musical squares"! They will also have cutest trick, best costume, largest and smallest dogs.
Butt Bowling is always a great event! Contestants us a frozen Boston Butt as a bowling ball. This event is sure to entertain!
