    The Ironman

    By Luke Darnell, MABA President and Pitmaster of Old Virginia Smoke

    The Ironman…where you get to get down and dirty with limited amounts of meat and no electronics. The Ironman…where you can get sun and warmth the first day…but get froze out the second day. The Ironman…where steak contests were born in the Mid-Atlantic.

    Traditionally on of the more fun events in the MABA calendar, this year’s Ironman didn’t disappoint. Eric Forrester and his team at Mason Dixon BBQ Supply as per usual did a great job in preparation for the event. On Friday, there was the first ever SCA Steak Cookoff at the Ironman, one of the first steak cookoffs in the Mid-Atlantic. This was great fun for all that participated. Brett from SCA was a joy to be around, and the awards were fun. Congrats to late entrant Mitch on his fantastic steak victory.

    The weather was great for steak, but plummeted over night for BBQ. The competition was hotly contested. The Ironman, for those of you that don’t know, is a contest that features teams only cooking 7 pieces of chicken, 1 rack of ribs, 1 pork butt, and 1 brisket. 59 of the 60 teams cooked this format, and Rockin Robyn’s won the day with a 700+ score and for Grand Champion! Congrats!

    Look for more information about next year’s Ironman, and look for more SCA cookoffs in the near future in MABA-land.

    Autumnfest is in the books for 2017!  This contest, which is a staple in the MABA schedule kicked it up another notch this year with the addition of harness racing for the weekend.  The team in Woodstock, VA also added in some serious craft beer and craft whiskey tastings to the vending line up this year.  The weather was perfect and it was a great weekend for BBQ!

    Thirty teams came together to compete for a nice prize fund and bragging rights.  Past Autumnfest champion Jay Reeder of 4:20Q brought home top honors in Chicken.  2016 Champion, 3Eyz BBQ with Dan Hixon came across the finish line with a top call in Ribs.  Aporkalypse Now took home top Pork honors and Smack That Butt BBQ won the brisket category.

    Rockin’ Robyn’s BBQ took home the GC this year with 3Eyz BBQ doing a great job defending their title from last year with the RGC.  Pig Pen BBQ earned top honors in the People’s Choice competition for the millionth time at Autumnfest!  Once again they showed some great sportsmanship by donating the proceeds from their win back to the community to feed folks on Thanksgiving!  These guys help make BBQ great for sure.

    We are all looking forward to the 2018 installment of this great competition!
