The team gave it their all at the 2008 American Royal BBQ competition. This is the third year we have competed in the “World Series of BBQ” competition, and we had as much fun as ever. On Friday night, we held our annual blow-out party for friends and family. We cooked around 500 pounds of meat for that night alone. We competed in the “Open” division on Sunday, and our scores were the following:

Chicken: #61
Pork: #150
Pork Ribs: #394
Beef Brisket: #96

Overall, Maximum Loin placed #154 overall out of 475 teams in the Open competition.

Big thanks to our sponsors, Demolition Interior Specialists and KC Loft Central. We’ll post photos soon!

Maximum Loin thanks “Coyote” Mike of Coyote Salvage for sponsoring our team again at this year’s American Royal BBQ. In addition to his sponsorship, he also helped us with our on-site logistics. He was responsible for sourcing the additional smoker we used, and he also supplied the Blue River band’s stage. Thanks, Mike!

American Royal Post #3

Its lunch time on Saturday, and we’re enjoying some pulled pork we saved back from last night’s big party. In addition to the pork, we cooked up some chicken wings and bratwurst. The rum is out, and it’s a nice antidote for last night’s (pbr)beer overdose. Looks like Blue River just started their afternoon set, so I’m going to pull up a straw-bale and enjoy the music.
