I attended a big bbq event just north of Gothenburg this weekend. Gothenburg is located on the west coast of Sweden, and the event was held in an old fortress called 'Bohus fästning'. It is 700 years old, a pretty cool location. Here's a helicopter photo of the fortress.
The event is called "FIR", which is a Swedish acronym that stands for "Fortress In Smoke". It is a non-profit event aimed at sharing barbecue with people. Visitors pay a fee and then get to sample barbecue from all teams, buffet style. Every team had some kind of theme, as in barbecue from different countries all around the world.
There were a few large offset smokers, but except for that the Weber kettles and WSM's together with some kamados dominated on the equipment side.
I was there mainly to network with people and sell books. It was good fun, and it was nice to be able to sleep well instead of tending to my smoker all night :-)
Since it is a fortress there is no proper road, so all equipment was lifted over the walls with very large hydraulic cranes. See photo below.
A trailer with a large kamado, offset stereo and a large speaker box :-)
