[Chilliwack, BC] Mark your calendar for the 4th Annual Barn Burner BBQ, July 22, 2018.

Hosted by The Farm Store In Yarrow, and co-presented by Johnston’s Pork and Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry, this family-friendly BBQ extravaganza is officially sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society. Free-to-attend with tasting wristbands available at a minimal donation with 100% of proceeds going to the Full Cupboard, a program designed to raise food, funds, and awareness for food banks in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey and surrounding communities.

The winning team with the highest total points in all four categories (Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, Ribs) will take home their share of $5,000 in prize money, along with the Barn Burner BBQ Grand Championship trophy, bragging rights, and a spot in the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational BBQ in Tennessee.

Teams also compete in a “Black Box” cook-off. This “Iron Chef” style competition presents cooks with a black box containing four mystery ingredients. All ingredients must be incorporated into a single dish and submitted to the judges, who will award points based on originality, taste, and presentation.

Chef Dez returns as the event emcee, while meat lovers of all ages are invited to join the festivities including a live band performance, climbing wall, face-painting and samples of delectable BBQ meat. If the samples don’t quite fill you up, a food trucks will be on-site selling even more BBQ.

BBQ is NOT grilling! There is a very distinct difference between the grilling and BBQ. Southern style BBQ is a technique in which meat is cooked at low temperatures (about 225 F) for a long time over indirect heat. The heat source is charcoal and wood. No gas/propane is allowed. The Barn Burner BBQ competition consists of four main categories: Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, and Ribs. Brisket is cooked for up to 16 hours. Ribs take approximately 6 hours and chicken take as long as 4 hours.
