The results, are in – well  – have been in now for a week or more  – for the 2009 Plant City Pig Jam, a KCBS Sanctioned BBQ Competition that took place back on November 21st.

Some of the local favorite BBQ cook teams were there, including Swamp Boys BBQ, Poppell Insurance BBQ Team, Team Unknown, Whiskey Bent BBQ, and the BGE Pit Crew – some new friends I made at the event.  Pellet Envy, Smokin’ Triggers, and Jack’s Old South made the trip as well, the latter two will of course be featured on the upcoming TLC BBQ Pitmasters series starting tomorrow – December 3rd.

As usual, the final results and awards ceremony for the Backyard and Pro divisions proved exciting and surprising. Here are the top 10 finishers for Backyard and Pro.

Folks – if you’ve ever wanted to be a BBQ Competition Judge – this is THE class you need to take.  I recently signed up for a slot for the coming October class myself, and I’m stoked!  (Pardon the fire/smoke pun!)

The judges class is a four hour event running from 4:00pm- 8:00pm at Johnson’s Barbecue, 1401 West. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, Plant City, 33563.   This year’s class is being hosted by Steve Smith, KCBS Master Certified Judge and Certified BBQ Judge Instructor.

The class costs $85 for non-current KCBS members, but current KCBS members only pay $55.  The good news for non-members is that the $85 includes a one-year KCBS membership.

The great thing about this BBQ Judges class being offered in October is that those who finish it can also qualify to judge at more than 200 KCBS-sanctioned contests every year.   One of these events just happens to be this year’s Plant City Pig Jam, coming up this November 21st!

Applications for this exciting event are available on the Plant City chamber web site.  For questions, please contact Marion Smith at (813) 734-3707.
