Backyard Throwdowns

Glad to see this section on TVWBB. I had a rib throwdown last summer. It was a blast. My friends wife challenged me to a rib throwdown so on the day of the event we invited a bunch of friends over. We chose 3 to be judges. I cooked on my WSM while my competitor cooked on an offset smoker. We agreed before hand that she could cook at home and bring her ribs over. We each cooked 3 slabs. From that we selected our best 3 ribs and gave them to the judges. Again, we agreed beforehand to both cook baby backs. The ribs were served on plate A and plate B. the judges were told to score on appearance, taste and tenderness. I won a split decision 2-1. Then everyone got to chow down. It was a lot of fun. I'm planning more for this summer. Good way to get friends together. Want a list of the whole deal including rules? Email me at frank@roaringforkbbq.com.
