Smok'n in Cawston

As Part of the Spring Wine Release 2010, the Similkameen Wineries Association organized a BBQ event at their community hall. Cawston is a small village 50km south of Penticton with a few wineries and a lot of farmers. The population in 2006 was app. 973. So this event was clearly operating on a smaller scale. Of the originally six BBQ contestants were in the end only three participating. So we smoked ribs from 6 in the morning in our home-built smoker which we drove to Cawston the night before and slept in our tents, freezing our asses off. At least we had some decent breakfast with pancakes, maplesyrup and real coffee. I even tried to get me some fried eggs cook'n. What do they say, "it's all about participating, not winning". Well, that's what we did! Even the bribed jury members did not all vote for us... We had a lot of fun anyways and we'll use the smoker for our bacon and sausages as well as our Friday night Roast & Toast on the Patio.
