Our Firefest BBQ Blaze competitions give local pitmasters the opportunity to show their fire-y prowess!

HOW IT WORKS
We provide each team with the same amount of proteins -- usually enough for ~100 servings. You will have 2 hours to prepare and grill, followed by a 2-hour serving period. Attendees will arrive and sample throughout the 2-hour period, so plan accordingly.

Each attendee will receive and vote on their favorite team with a wooden coin. The team with the most coins at the end of the sampling period wins. In the event of a tie, a coin toss will decide the winner. The Grand Champion wins a Jack Daniel's barrelhead and Recteq Bullseye pellet grill. The Reserve Grand Champion ("2nd place") wins a smaller barrelhead and a Jack Daniel's cooler. We'll have plenty of other prizes and giveaways throughout the day.

Each team will be assigned a space roughly the size of two parking spots.

Firefest staff members will coordinate event production with the base event team. Firefest will normally arrange shipment of event supplies to the base for temporary storage pending the event.

For every event, the base provides 1-10’x10’ tent for the Firefest hub; 4-6’ tables; 4 chairs; and kitchen access if available. In addition, the base provides access to electricity; restrooms; and handwashing.

While not required, the base normally will provide each team with a 10’x10’ tent; a table; and 2 chairs.

Base provides water bottles.

Attendees have the best part: they get to enjoy great music, food & drink. They can attend a food demonstration or Savor! spirits tasting. Best of all, they can sample different wings and vote for their favorite by depositing a wooden coin into the metal bucket for their favorite team!
