Pork Shoulder Butts,
 bone-in, smoked slowly for 15 hours overnight with Pecan and Oak on Ole Hickory Professional BBQ  Smokers.  The meat is so tender it falls off the bone.  Ready to be pulled or  sliced to enjoy on your plate, as finger-food,  or  on a on sandwich.  Or maybe just dip the burnt-ends into a heaping mound of BBQbyDan BBQ Sauce!
      
Our most popular and requested meat entrée.  The  BBQbyDan "signature" meat selection (along with Brisket)!

“The 6th Annual West Coast BBQ Championships will be the first to crown three KCBS Grand Champions in two days!”, says Carolyn Wells Founder & Executive Director of the Kansas City BBQ Society, “As the largest governing body of BBQ contests in the world, we sanction nearly 300 contests every year. It is a rare occasion that will we have a double, where two open KCBS four meat contests are held back to back on one weekend. Never before have three full four meat KCBS bar-b-que contests ever been attempted in two days.” Three contests in two days will be achieved by having one contest each day, and the third contest divided over the two days.

1. Community Service
2. Willingness to share & educate the public  & new teams.
3. Competition
4. Service to all in the California BBQ Association

   Twentynine Palms Marine Base

Cooking BBQ for 13,000-18,000 Marines & their dependants

  
< pictures & write-up from this event >
   

   
< pictures & write-up from this event >
 
Team BBQbyDan (Rick & Karen Streiff, Dan & Barbara Cannon) head out to Twentynine Palms Marine Base to provide support to the California BBQ Association (CBBQA) as well as many volunteers in providing a BBQ dinner to the Marines and their dependents at the Twentynine Palms Marine Base sports field.  We will all go out on Friday, arriving in the early afternoon to prep meats, setup smokers, and cook the traditional award winning BBQ faire that we all do so often.  All BBQ groups and volunteers are  contributing (at no charge) their time, efforts, equipment, and fuels.
Friday evening late afternoon and evening will be dedicated to unwrapping, trimming, and seasoning 350 full size Briskets.  That would be 4,662 pounds.  Yes, it takes a lot of brisket to feed 18,000 folks.  Briskets will come off the cookers early Saturday, go into warmers, then quartered and Buffalo Chopped, then into foil pans, and into the final warmers ready to serve for dinner.  Chicken, Hamburgers, and Hot Dogs will also be served.  This is the 5th year that Team BBQbyDan has had the privilege of being a part of this great event. 
 
Del King is one of the originators, catalysts, and unbroken link that keeps these events happening.  He keeps the Military involved, all the volunteers updated, events planned, and is ready on a moments notice to do an event like this anywhere.

Hey all, Since I have been on a roll organizing things these past few weeks I figure why stop now. I am thinking I would like to do my annual backyard warm-up event on March 22nd. This hits just a bit before all the contests and hopefully the start of some good weather. If you are not familiar with this event let me provide you with a brief description. I bring 6-8 teams together at my place to cook chicken, ribs and a mystery meat. CBJ's do an "open" judging commenting on each entry. The winners in each entry won some recycled bowling trophies last year (hey, so I'm cheap). This was followed by a sit down dinner with family and friends and of course live acoustic music. Great stories and lies were told around the camp fire. Also, for those that travel far you are welcome to camp out in my yard.

The California BBQ Association is a non profit organization that fund raises for California Children's Charities through participating in Barbecue events such as contests and cooking classes. This CBBQA educational program is dedicated to promoting the art of Low-n-Slow Barbecue. This year’s first one day class, "An Introduction to Authentic Barbecue", caters to the backyard novice chef, and will be scheduled from 9AM-4PM on March 7, 2009 in Hollister, California. Many of our CBBQA veteran competition Pitmasters can trace their roots back to the early days spent practicing on their own backyard grills and smokers. Its where the love for the art of Low and Slow BBQ was born---cooking for family and friends.
