Fundraiser

[Bad Hat BBQ]

Gettin' ready for Auction cooks ....For the 4 years i have been the lead sled dog for the church Auction.....small congregation but we average about 30K every year!

for 3 of those years I have offered "Bad Hat BBQ Rib Drive Thru"- people swing by the house on the Saturday of Memorial Day week-end and pick up a slab of ribs that they bid on.

This year 10 slabs will be cooked on "Delilah" and slabs went from 85-115 per slab. We also host an annuaul BBQ Feast for the Auction (12-15 folks) average price per seat $200.00.

..Anyone else w/ sim exp???

I just cooked for a pulled pork sammich fundraiser. 23 butts was enough.

How much pressure do you feel selling ribs even for auction at $100+ a rack?

[Bad Hat BBQ]

1st time around I was a bit nervous.....now its routine
People offer various "specialty dinners" as auction items, and it all helps the bottom line.
Winning bidders are from the congregation, so its a pretty forgiving crowd (see what I did there)

Looks delicious! Great job Bad Hat BBQ.

I have barbecued for plenty of church functions, but never auctioned it off. That is an interesting idea.

Looks amazing Bad Hat BBQ!

I also have done lots of BBQ for church. Today I bought 2 briskets and 2 pork butts to smoke and freeze just to have on hand at church for random meetings and meals.

I saw this as I was leaving church today and showed my pastor. We cannot believe that you pulled $30,000 from a BBQ! Did y’all also have other things you were auctioning off?

30K is the Auction total....BBQ is just 2-3 of the 50 or 60 Dinners that are offfered. People donate/host dinners, others bake pies, or take people on a canoe trip etc

~140 cataloged auction items last year
~Annual Auction 1st Sat in Nov

It’s a fundraiser! People spend more because it’s for a good cause. Bad Hats off to you, Pitmaster!

Just did the same for a fundraiser. Did 30 racks. Whew!

That is an amazing arrangement.....Delilah can do 14-16 at a time (maybe SWMBO & I need to have a discussion about getting a bigger smoker! ...jus' kiddin")
