Smoke'em Out BBQ

The trophy corner is coming together. At least they are all in the same area now. Hopefully Janelle Koster and I will add to it this year.

Well the weekend is almost here. If you don't have any plans come to Vermillion on Saturday for the BBQ competition. Smoke'em Out BBQ will be there with 14 other teams. $10.00 gets you a people's choice vote and you can try all the teams. The people's choice meat is pork loins. This should be a fun one I have never done pork loin foe a competition. We serve the public from 3:30-4:40. The fair grounds in vermillion are across from the Ford dealership. Hopefully I will see some familiar faces this weekend.

Happy 4th to everyone have a fun and safe day. Don't forget on Saturday we will be in Salem for another competition. We hope you are able to come out and enjoy the day.

All set up in Balaton, MN. Need the rain to go away but it will be a great day!!!!

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year coming up. Time flies and before we all know it, May will be here. If you or someone you know has a child that will be graduating this coming May have a talk with them. See what they want for food. If you want to be different and not have the normal taco bar/ sloppy joe and chips. Reach out to us and see what we can provide for you and your graduate on their special day.

With competition season over Smoke'em Out BBQ will be firing up the smoker Saturday September 24th for one last time before it goes into storage. We are planning on doing pork butts for pulled pork. They will be sold shredded by the pound and vacuum sealed. $10.00 per pound. If you would like some please get ahold of Janelle Koster or myself with how much you would like. If you have a request feel free to ask and we will make a decision if we can do it. Thank you to everyone that has supported us through the summer. We will hopefully be doing a few more competitions and different events next summer.

Getting the belly of the beast cleaned out. Smoke'em Out BBQ has heir last competition of the year tomorrow. We will be over in Ethan, SD with alot of other great teams.

We serve the public at 5:30 in Ethan on Main Street. Be there early ribs will go fast. $2 per rib or 7 for $10 if you spend $10 you will get a token to vote for your favorite. It has been a great summer for us. We have met alot of great teams and people. We are happy for the friendships we have started and can't wait to see where they go.
