| 2008 Event Info Sloss Furnaces Stokin' the Fire BBQ and Music Festival Stokin' the Fire 2008 (a KCBS sanctioned event) will be much like in the past. Our festival has been nominated as one of the best in the country, and this year we are much the same with a few exciting and fun additions. We will continue to: award our backyard/ pro. teams hand-made trophies (worth THOUSANDS) created by our nationally-renowned metal artists, award more than $20,000 in prize money, host an Anything Butt competition with no extra entry fee and we provide the food to be cooked, give fabulous gifts to our cooks and judges, host a huge preview party complete with shrimp/ beer/ wine/ band, host a cooks' and judges' breakfast Saturday morning, give each team plenty of room with their own power/ water, provide all of our professional teams with overhead cover, provide our cook teams and judges unlimited access to our staff for questions and concerns, fill 2 stages with great local and national bands both days/nights, host a huge kids area complete with crafts/ inflatables/ entertainment, organize cooking demonstrations, etc., etc., etc. Visitors to the site can buy tickets and taste a variety of our teams' championship meat. We will also have a new category this year- dessert! Because of our generous sponsors, we are able to get even better bands in our music line-up. This year's Stokin' the Fire will be dubbed a BBQ and Music Festival. We are so excited to be hosting another competition and festival at the Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark. We hope to see you all again this year.
