this years 1st place is angie & wade from bigspingsgardens.com

with shrimp scampi and rice. cooked with a recycled satellite dish.

for the kids was polish dogs cooked in pringles cans.

2nd was ramond from solarcooking.org with chili beans cooked on a backpack parabolic that weighs 7 lbs with stand.

and I came in 3rd with browenies.with a funnel.

the hybrids was best in show.and the first to make coffie.

we made about 20 gallons of coffie one qt at a time.plus enough boiled water for a case of cup of noodles with about a 1/4 can of propane.

we all so got to 485f with one small can of sterno.

this year was only 32 cookers allmost half from other years.

dogs were a problem again this year.

every one has a bad night, and angela strehli "the queen of texas blues" had one saturday night.most people left the concert early, off key, out of time, and out of $25.

other than that most folks had a great time.

I wish they had a contest like that around here. I wouldnt mind testing out my 3 foot dish. Still have to finish it to get full power, as it's only half covered now.
