Smoke in the Mountains BBQ & Ribeye Shootout, a beloved culinary competition that celebrates the art of smoking meats and grilling ribeye steaks, is set to return in 2024 with a sizzling promise of mouthwatering dishes and friendly competition. Mark your calendars for June 7-8, 2024, as this event is gearing up to be a must-attend experience for barbecue enthusiasts and food aficionados alike.
The event, which was last held in June 2023, left an indelible mark on the community by raising a commendable sum of $50,000. These generous donations were allocated equally among five essential entities: Fort Davis Volunteer Fire Department, Davis Mountain Resort Volunteer Fire Department, Valentine Volunteer Fire Department, Cherry Creek Volunteer Fire Department, and The Mountain Medics.
Smoke in the Mountains BBQ & Ribeye Shootout is more than just a culinary showdown. It’s a testament to the unity and support that characterize Jeff Davis County. Participants and spectators gather from far and wide, all with the shared mission of assisting the dedicated First Responders who safeguard the community.
While the heart of the event remains the thrilling meat competitions and jackpots, visitors to Fort Davis are also treated to the charms of the downtown area. Doug Moreland’s new wood sculptor shop stands out as a must-visit attraction. Guests have the opportunity to marvel at Moreland’s exquisite creations while enjoying his captivating musical performances.
As anticipation builds for the 2024 Smoke in the Mountains BBQ & Ribeye Shootout, the community eagerly looks forward to coming together once again to celebrate their shared love for smoked meats, support their local heroes, and create lasting memories.
