The 5th Annual Frostbuster BBQ was held this past weekend in Colo, Ia.

If you don't know what the Frostbuster is all about, here is a quick overview.
We (Smokehouse 72 BBQ) sign up 12 teams and 12 judges(all CBJ's) to come compete in a KCBS format BBQ contest. The entry fees are kept low and there is no monetary payout. The payout is comes from all the information you receive from this event.
We judge everything just like a regular contest only at the end of judging, we bring the teams, one by one, to go over their scores with the judges.
It's been a big hit for the teams and judges.

Also, big thank you to the brethren that supported this event. You are the best!! See list below.

Feel free to contact me if you would like help setting up a contest like this in your area.

Anyway, here are the results.

How do I get on the list for next year. I need to do more of this stuff.
 
It is priceless to hear straight from the judges why they chose to score as they did. Couple that with the new score program and you leave with quality information instead of head scratching numbers.

Thanks guys
 
As always had a great time visiting with teams before turn ins. Too bad we can't do same at contests. I didn't see or hear anything that would affect my judging process.

I was challenged on a score several times and with the leftover samples actually on the table was able to quantify my reasoning on all but one score regarding presentation. I was out by several points and could not justify through memory what I thought I saw that caused my score. That bothered me and will cause me to pay more attention in the future. Win, win for everybody.

Frostbuster will move on to a different city,state somewhere we heard. Sad to see it go, but the process deserves to spread to new areas, where hopefully it will continue to peak interest in learning the art of consistant BBQ contest cooking and judging.
Ray & Jay are the new Johnny Appleseed of BBQ.
Good job guys.

Not sure if we will move too far. We'd like to keep it there but we also want to help as many people as possible. We're just thinking right now.
 
What a great concept! I'm in Nashville and would drive if it was a bit closer. Or just make the trip regardless.
