Frisco, CO
June 15, 2019
A Colorado Rocky Mountain High BBQ event! Situated about 75 miles West of Denver, this snowcapped mountain town has it all… and they roll the red carpet out for this sanctioned KCBS event! Frisco is a “Must Do” on any BBQ aficionado schedule, cook, judge, or spectator.
Starting Friday Night, we attended the Rub It, Smoke It, Sip It, Breckenridge Distillery’s Whiskey Tour of the Colorado BBQ Challenge. Folks from the local Breckenridge Distillery show off some of their liquid wares mixed in a unique concoction beverage just for the paid tour attendees. Refreshments were followed by delectable smoked bites as created by the championship BBQ team Special Ingredient BBQ. The team also had the attendees over to their competition site to give a BBQ 101, 201; Keith and Mark did a great job explaining to novices and experts alike the finer points of competition BBQ. Great fun, especially the goody bag from the organizers!
A shoot out between fifty-five teams lead to Porky’s Pit Crew as Grand Champion with a 694.2 score followed by Lucky’s Q with a 692.4 as Reserve Grand Champion. Shake ‘n Bake was third, and notably didn’t have his trailer with him. He dusted off four Gateway Drums that were being held by a local friend, and with a few coolers, a plastic table, and a canopy was able to show his BBQ acumen! Tim Scheer’s two daughters both won their divisions in Kids Que!

We saw some bbq cook friends that always put a smile on our face, Grinders and La Pasadita to name a couple; and got to meet some other notable folks like Johnny Trigger of Smoking Triggers, Midnight Smokers, and Smokin Elvises.
It was a weekend of fun, food, drink, and BBQ and one that won’t be soon forgotten! A true Rocky Mountain High at 9000′!
