Sixty-two pro BBQ teams competed for over $20,000 in prize money at the Whistle Stop & Rocket City BBQ competition in Huntsville, AL. Smoke Me Silly took Grand Champion with a 703.9 score! 64 teams competed for the Backyard or amateur championship. Huntsville area museums received all proceeds from the BBQ event.
One thing became abundantly clear to me regarding this train-themed BBQ event; the folks of Alabama know how to throw a party and do a tailgate! Friday evening was a big party, but when the music stopped, things got real for championship BBQ.
