IRONMAN OVERVIEW!
WHAT IS IT?
IRONMAN is a full-blown KCBS / PA State Championship BBQ Competition to test your skills as a barbecue pit master! WITHOUT the benefits of electrical controls or unlimited meats to select from!
What does that Mean
It means you are with Meat, Charcoal, Wood, Meat, Thermometer, Matches, and Smoker!
No Gurus, Stokers, Digital Stay-In BBQ, Oven, or Roasting Thermometers, Rotisseries
No Remote Meat Thermometers, LP Gas Tourches, No Pellet Cookers, Electrical Vacuum Marinators
AND IT’S AN IRONMAN
That means we will only allow in your cooler: (1) Pork Butt, (1) Rack of Ribs, (1) Brisket, & (7) Pieces of Chicken (one to taste)
Why Should I choose This Format

Increase your winnings! IRONMAN pays more!
Bragging rights and fun! Test your skills! Are you really a Pitmaster or a Poser?
Do I Have to Do The Ironman format?
Absolutely NOT! This is entirely voluntary and will help you save money via a reduced entry fee and make more money via higher prize payouts, but that is entirely up to you! But if you commit to doing it, you must do it or face the possibility of disqualification.

What are the Pesky Rules?
Rule’s can be annoying, but here they are!
Do I Have To Do Wings?
Yes. It’s for charity and we provide the wings – 10lbs split and tipped. Cook them any way you want, it’s a crap shoot at best! We ask that you stick to the IRONMAN spirit when cooking these and use charcoal/wood. You can fry them if you can get your oil hot enough over a wood/charcoal fire…and yes, it has been done many times in the past. The Redneck Outlaw folks will come to you and get the wings around 10:45a. When you get your wings, you will also get a ½ pan to put your turn-in wings into. And it is a double-blind format.
