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)!

Gilroy Rock n' Ribs
Competition BBQ Cook-Off
June 20-21, 2008
   
See comments from attendees !!!

< Documented Gilroy Sound-Bites submitted by Ric Gilbert >

  
  This is the second annual event (3rd if you include the Great Gilroy Gobbler Gathering), taking place in downtown Gilroy. This is a full blown competition but there is a twist: Contestants will be cooking only ribs, chicken, tri tip, and a mystery meat to be announced (and I think) provided by the event coordinators.

You may cook on any equipment you like, including gas burners, pellet poopers, stick burners, or even blow torches - all are welcome, but microwave users will be scorned, mocked, and ridiculed. Please see the rules section for complete rule disclosure.

General Information:
What: BBQ Competition and charity fund raiser
Where: Gilroy Ca. on Main Street
When: Saturday, June 21, 2008
What meats: Chicken, ribs and a mystery meat (to be provided)
Entry fee: $100
Venders Fee: $75 Only 6 spots available and going fast!

   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.
