Hello SCBA Cook Teams,
I hope everyone is enjoying the SCBA fall competition season. We have five events left on the 2018 schedule. You still have time to qualify for the FREE competition BBQ class sponsored by South Carolina BBQ Association.
The competition class will be taught by SCBA Master BBQ Champions. The class will be held January 19, 2019 in West Columbia, SC. The event times and address will be posted closer to the end of this season.
Please see the eligibility requirements:
1. Must be a SCBA member in good standing.
2. Must cook a minimum of 3 SCBA contests in 2018.
3. Must not have placed in the top 3 in any of the “main meat” categories. “Main Meats” are defined as is Butts for all contests except Juneteenth and Kingstree. Main Meat for Juneteenth is Ribs and Whole Hog for Kingstree.
4. May not attend SCBA FREE school more than twice.
The application process will begin the first Sunday after the final contest on the SCBA calendar. The class will be limited to the first 30 Pitmasters to request and respond via US Post Mark on their physically mailed application. All applications must be mailed via the USPS and no electronic applications will be accepted. We can not hold any class slots in advance.
As in years past, only one Pitmaster per team may register until we gauge the turn out. We are happy to allow additional team members to attend just want to make sure we have the space and allow as many teams to attend as possible. The class has always sold out and seen huge successes on the circuit!
This year the curriculum will include multiple pork / Rib turn-in boxes and even a mock SCBA Judging. Your lunch will be included along with door prizes and a few other neat additions.
Make sure to get your team registrations in for the fall season to qualify for this in-depth competition class.
A huge thanks to the SCBA for sponsoring this event and please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or additional information.
I look forward to seeing everyone on the BBQ trail!
