It’s just three more weeks until the first KCBS-like barbecue competition takes place in Dayton, Ohio! The competition is called the Ohio Open Barbecue Cook-Off, and information can be found at www.rollingsmoke.com. It’s being put on by Jim Weaver of Jimmy’s Hog Pen and Jim Ferguson of Rolling Smoke Barbecue, both local competitors to the Dayton Area.The location is at the American Legion in Kettering. Entry fee is low this year, $100.
KCBS rules will be followed, with the exception of fuel source… Competitors can use any fuel source they want,
so we stick burners will have to compete against LP and electric.
If you’re local, please support this competition; it’s the first year, but it may be a state qualifier for the Jack! And,. hopefully, it will be sanctioned next year!
Good luck at the competition. Knock em dead!
Curt,
Great talking to you this weekend, and congrats on the good results! It is always great to meet good people at a competition. I look forward to seeing you in Madison.

Lawrence,
I’m not sure what month you mean, but, in August, the closest competition to SW Ohio is in Madison, IN, the third weekend of August. Beyond that, there’s a competition in Cincy on September 15-16, and another in Nelsonville, OH the third weekend in October.
