What to Expect at the Burnet BBQ Cook-off

These folks know what they’re doing. This ain’t their first rodeo; it’s actually the 15th year for the Cook-off! If you love BBQ and Texas, you absolutely must attend this event.

Are you ready to party? We hope you’re hungry because over 80 teams will be competing this weekend, using their secret sauces, recipes and flair to bring you the very best BBQ in Texas.

We know your mouth is watering, so go ahead and mark your calendar now – we’ll wait

The event is sanctioned by the Lone Star BBQ Society. Competition categories include: brisket, ribs, chicken, wild game, cowboy chili, margaritas and dessert.

Kids Fishing Tournament at the Burnet BBQ Cook Off

A fishing tournament for kids will be held as part of the Cook-off festivities

Throughout the day on Saturday, there will be a vendor market to peruse. There will also be activities for the kids, including firefighter games and a fishing tournament in Reveille Peak Ranch’s private stocked lake.

 

 

 

What You Need to Know About the Cook-off

Proceeds from this year’s Burnet BBQ Cook-off will help build a quick refill water station to benefit the Burnet County Volunteer Fire Departments.

Gates open at 9 AM Saturday morning and there will be a full day of activities. All attendees will want to be present at 5:30 PM, when the winners of the Cook-off are announced.

And what would a BBQ cook-off be without live music? So on Saturday night, at 8:30 PM, Texas Renegade and JB & The Moonshine Band will be taking the stage to conclude the festivities in style.

Cost for Saturday daytime pass: $5. Proceeds from ticket sales benefit military families via Serve Who Serve.

Cost for Evening concert: $10.

This event beats whatever plans you had before you read this post

Remember folks, the money is going to two great causes. Texas knows and appreciates that our volunteer firefighters are heroes.

I’ll be out there! Hoping to go on both Fri & Sat, but it depends on how recovered I am from this yucky illness. I’ll support anything that benefits the Burnet VFD, as they are who my parents would call in case of fire st their small ranch in Burnet. It’ll be a fun & tasty event!
