Do you want to help make a difference in a friend's, neighbor's, or a stranger's life?If so, please click on the Operation BBQ Relief logo at the left to learn more about this wonderful organization.
I was introduced to this organization during their first response effort in Joplin, Missouri, in 2010...At that time it was dubbed Operation BBQ Relief for Joplin. Since that time it has blossomed into a national charitable organization. As a disclaimer of sorts, I do serve on the operation's committee and continue to support the organization.
We are always looking for people who are interested in volunteering - everyone is welcome, not just hard core BBQ teams.
UPDATE: Over the weekend of March 2-4, 2012, I led a team of eight OBR volunteers in Harveyville, Kansas, a community where about 40% of the town was decimated by a tornado. During these three days, we provided 1,800 hot meals to victims and response workers. Over the same weekend, OBR responded to four towns in three states and provided 14,500 hot meals!
Please feel free to contact me at mmatthews@operationbbqrelief.org to learn more.
One other group I have become associate with is CompBBQ.com. Please click on their logo to learn more, but basically, this is a new web site dedicated to the competition side of BBQ - organizers can sign up with the site and have teams and judges sign up for the contest on line - no more snail mail and instant notification that you are in a contest. The site also hosts a BBQ forum for those who wish to discuss and share all things BBQ. I am one of the moderator's for the forum & hope to see you on line some time.We love our barbeque and know you will too...
We are very proud of our team and all those who support us in our endeavors into the wacky, wild, wonderful, world of competitive Barbeque.
The 2011 season is over at long last. It was a rough year in so much as we got burned out about midway through the season and struggled through July and August. Because of this, we didn't sign up for a few contests also there were a couple injuries along the way which caused us to miss one contest ( the gracious organizer was nice enough to keep the entry fee - their name will not be mentioned, but we will never think about returning). One of the Traegers shot craps (the electronics we labotimized) which ultimately turned out for the best since we then turned to using only Ugly Drum Smokers (UDS) the rest of the year and had better products. We never cracked the top 10 overall, but seemed to score well in one or two meats per contest which tells me it's the cook and not the recipes.

Our GRAND CHAMPION/AWARD WINNING commercially bottled “Funny Farm BBQ Original Competition BBQ Sauce” is now available!. Please check out the list of stores on the Shop @ the farm page , but in case you can’t find it in your favorite store, you can order here on this site or see us at a BBQ competition. After you have had an opportunity to sample the sauce, please let us know what you think. If sales go well, we plan on adding a Sweet & Sassy BBQ Sauce, mustard sauce, and a Hot & Smoky BBQ Sauce down the line.
We plan to continuously up date these pages, especially the photo page, the videos page, and add links when new friends are made or new products or sites are found. So please check back often.
We have decided to stop updating information on the Funny Farm BBQ Team on both Twitter and MySpace. The sole updates on the Team over social networks will be on facebook. Sorry to those on Twitter and MySpace, but time limitations (and to be honest, excitement from the shiny glow from these sites dimming) has caused us to reduce the number of information sites we maintain.
Just click Funny Farm BBQ to go to the team group on facebook.
