Hi Guys
Just a suggestion which i am looking at putting to my boss for you enthusiasts
Would anyone be interested in coming in for 3-4 hours showing there skills on a Weber Spirit E-320 BBQ
Thinking we could have a competition between 6-8 enthusiasts, you would be judged on your cooking skills and the winning score after 6-8 weeks would win a prize (undetermined yet, need to talk to boss and convince )
Thoughts?
This competition would take place outside Glendale Warehouse
327 Lake Rd Glendale
Newcastle's Best BBQ Cook
Re: Newcastle's Best BBQ Cook
I'd be keen if it was on a kettle or a WSM......might need to camp out in your shop though
I have never cooked on an E-320 , a Q might attract more contestants due to their popularity
Mind you if the prize was a E-320 it'd give it a crack

I did consider a kettle/wsm cookoff type event but due to limited space outside the shop it wasn't really possible, not to mention total fire bans make things more difficult.
personally I prefer the Spirit range of bbq over the weber q's and I still have to run this past the boss to get the okay on anything.
I am open to suggestions, or ideas.

I volunteer as a judge if this gets off the ground.

Re: Newcastle's Best BBQ Cook
One of the issues I can see with what you're trying to do Mark is the space you have to work in, would be council land therefore needing council permission to hold such events. the amount of vehicle traffic (seagulls) that might want to stop to see what's going on if you've got a heap of people standing around A BBQ or more....might have to get some kind of permit due to food being involved ....I'm not sure if it'd come under the same category as if you were say doing a Weber demonstration or not.
I'm not sure I'm up for it actually with my weekend workload and the fact I'm so out of practice lately...I just don't have the time like I used to. The amount of times my BBQs have been used in the last 6 Months I can count on 1 hand, I've got to be honest about that.

its been awhile then, you should dust off your weber and use it every night.
My inital thoughts were to do it over 1 weekend, get a few people to judge then i thought we have very limited space so thought we make it one a week, same people judging the food, give a total score based on a criteria, in the end, scores tallied for a prize.
Undecided on prize, but i have to talk to people about that.
I visited a trophy shop last week, funny enough of all the things out there, none had a bbq ontop of them
I tried speaking to the council this morning and basically was told as long as there is no total firebans in place, a single demonstration outside the shop wouldn't worry them.
So is there anybody interested or keen?
Re: Newcastle's Best BBQ Cook
I would find it hard cooking on an unfamiliar setup and with the time frame you would be restricted to open grill menu.
