PONCA CITY, OKLAHOMA, USA – September 28, 2007
Thirteen award-winning teams competing on Fast Eddy’s by Cookshack
(FEC) 100% wood-fired pellet smokers will go head to head with 47 other
US teams on Saturday, October 27, 2007 at the 18th Annual Jack Daniel’s
World Championship Invitational Barbecue.
This presitigious contest includes competitors from around the world
going after the championship in the categories of pork ribs, pork
shoulder, beef brisket, and chicken. The Jack is the largest Kansas
City Barbecue Society (KCBS) sanctioned event.
Competitors by invitation are the winner of the previous year’s
Jack, winners of the Houston Livestock & Rodeo Barbecue, the
Memphis in May Championship, and the open division of the American
Royal Barbeque in Kansas City. The remainder of the competitors is
chosen by lottery. International teams travel from Austria, Australia,
Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. (The
2004 Grand Championship was awarded to UK team Mad Cows, cooking on an
FEC.)
Two of the big winners receiving invitations this year are FEC users
cancersuckschicago.com and Holy Cow Cookers. Scott Johnson’s
cancersuckschicago.com is the defending Grand Champion as winner of
last year’s contest. Holy Cow Cookers swept away the competition to
reign as Grand Champion at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo World's
Championship Bar-B-Que Contest in January, 2007.
Says Johnson, “I look forward to going back to Lynchburg and
defending my championship. It's an opportunity that doesn't come along
very often and I owe a lot of my success, especially at last year's
Jack when my mind wanted to be elsewhere, with my trusty Fast Eddy's
pellet cookers. Magic happens in Lynchburg at the Jack and it couldn't
have happened for my team cancersuckschicago.com without my Fast
Eddy's.”
Lottery-winning FEC teams are:
- Firehouse BBQ (FL)
- Smoky Mountain Smokers (GA)
- Joey Mac’s Smoke Stax (IA)
- J Mack Cookers (IA)
- Set it and Forget it BBQ Team (MO)
- Late Night Whiskey Smokers (MS)
- Carcass Cookers (NM)
- BS Pitmeister (SC)
- Tarheel Smokers (VA)
- Cider House BBQ (WA)
- Pellet Envy (WY)
Cookshack wishes the best for each of these teams as they strut their Q on October 27.
