Entry fee is $50 and includes competition entry, 5 pool passes, and voting cards. Winner takes home $150 and the championship trophy.

Competition basics:
Prepare 10 to 20 pounds of pulled meat (chicken, pork, turkey, beef, etc.)

Any smoker or cooking method is allowed

Meat can be cooked on site or at home but must be ready to serve

All entries must be on site by 5:30 PM and ready for judging at 6:00 PM

You can serve your meat however you like (sauce, rub, etc.)

Bring your own setup for serving (tables, warmers, etc.)

Electric smokers are allowed, but you must provide your own power source

How judging works:
Attendees sample all entries and vote for their favorite

Votes are collected throughout the event

A small panel of guest judges will also vote(our local firefighters and police!)

You’re also welcome to sell sides or other food if you’d like, just not the competition meat.

This event is open to the public, so expect a fun, busy day with plenty of people, food, and support for the Delshire Swim Club.
