Pork Shoulder Butts,
 bone-in, smoked slowly for 15 hours overnight with Pecan and Oak on Ole Hickory Professional BBQ  Smokers.  The meat is so tender it falls off the bone.  Ready to be pulled or  sliced to enjoy on your plate, as finger-food,  or  on a on sandwich.  Or maybe just dip the burnt-ends into a heaping mound of BBQbyDan BBQ Sauce!
      
Our most popular and requested meat entrée.  The  BBQbyDan "signature" meat selection (along with Brisket)!

Hey all, Since I have been on a roll organizing things these past few weeks I figure why stop now. I am thinking I would like to do my annual backyard warm-up event on March 22nd. This hits just a bit before all the contests and hopefully the start of some good weather. If you are not familiar with this event let me provide you with a brief description. I bring 6-8 teams together at my place to cook chicken, ribs and a mystery meat. CBJ's do an "open" judging commenting on each entry. The winners in each entry won some recycled bowling trophies last year (hey, so I'm cheap). This was followed by a sit down dinner with family and friends and of course live acoustic music. Great stories and lies were told around the camp fire. Also, for those that travel far you are welcome to camp out in my yard.

The California BBQ Association is a non profit organization that fund raises for California Children's Charities through participating in Barbecue events such as contests and cooking classes. This CBBQA educational program is dedicated to promoting the art of Low-n-Slow Barbecue. This year’s first one day class, "An Introduction to Authentic Barbecue", caters to the backyard novice chef, and will be scheduled from 9AM-4PM on March 7, 2009 in Hollister, California. Many of our CBBQA veteran competition Pitmasters can trace their roots back to the early days spent practicing on their own backyard grills and smokers. Its where the love for the art of Low and Slow BBQ was born---cooking for family and friends.

Gilroy Rock n' Ribs
Competition BBQ Cook-Off
June 20-21, 2008
   
See comments from attendees !!!

< Documented Gilroy Sound-Bites submitted by Ric Gilbert >

  
  This is the second annual event (3rd if you include the Great Gilroy Gobbler Gathering), taking place in downtown Gilroy. This is a full blown competition but there is a twist: Contestants will be cooking only ribs, chicken, tri tip, and a mystery meat to be announced (and I think) provided by the event coordinators.

You may cook on any equipment you like, including gas burners, pellet poopers, stick burners, or even blow torches - all are welcome, but microwave users will be scorned, mocked, and ridiculed. Please see the rules section for complete rule disclosure.

General Information:
What: BBQ Competition and charity fund raiser
Where: Gilroy Ca. on Main Street
When: Saturday, June 21, 2008
What meats: Chicken, ribs and a mystery meat (to be provided)
Entry fee: $100
Venders Fee: $75 Only 6 spots available and going fast!
