The first Smoke Eaters BBQ Brawl was held on September 2, 2023 at Sealston Sports Complex. They sold just under 500 tickets and had around 100 kids attend. The Mallow Hill band was up first and followed by Karen Jones. There were food trucks and a variety of vendors including the local wineries and a brewery. Face painting was very popular with the kids. Mariano Icaza, Matthew Lansden and Harold Myers were manning the grill for Local 4438 Firefighters and Paramedics. The line was long and the BBQ worth the wait. There were 4 contestants, Kyle Erickson from Squealing Smoke won first place because of his burnt ends. 2nd place went to FAFO BBQ. 3rd place went to Smoke Showin BBQ and 4th place went to Top of the NNeck BBQ. All served up some very tasty BBQ. Looking forward to next year’s competition!
