That was the plan anyway,\u00a0but like many plans, life had a different course in mind.<\/p>\n<p>For a variety of reasons, this project never (as yet) materialized beyond the production stage. \u00a0It was filmed near the end of 2004, the final video that would have marked a BBQ trilogy about championship bbq competitors and the art of authentic, low &amp; slow (charcoal) barbecue cooking. (Previous DVDs: <a href=\"https:\/\/store.cookingupastory.com\/products\/inside-the-world-of-championship-barbecue-dvd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inside the World of Championship Barbecue<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/store.cookingupastory.com\/products\/bbq-secrets-the-master-guide-to-extraordinary-cookin-dvd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BBQ Secrets: The Master Guide to Extraordinary Barbecue Cookin<\/a>\u2019 )\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remarkably, the passage of time has not dulled the potential of this project because of the unique story and the remarkable ensemble of colorful, real-life characters that populate the film. There\u2019s passion. Pathos. Humor. Personal drama and triumph. It\u2019s life within a subculture that\u2019s fiercely dedicated to the mission of winning and in mostly a friendly way, outdoing the other guy. \u00a0It\u2019s a moment in time that\u2019s captured, and as such, it\u2019s timeless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brief \u00a0outline of The BBQ Jones documentary<\/h2>\n<p>This is the story of one man\u2014Scott Jones\u2014 and his unquenchable thirst to win. He began his barbecue competition career at one of the largest events of its kind: The American Royal Barbecue in Kansas City. We had filmed him during that event for our first barbecue documentary (Inside The World \u2026), his was the newbie team that had never been in a contest before. The other team (2 Fat Larry\u2019s), headed by Larry Mayes, was a veteran team, to illustrate the contrast between two very different skill levels and approaches to competing. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The BBQ Jones was filmed the next year at the same event after Scott admittedly got \u201cbitten by the Q\u201d. The subsequent clips that follow (<em>Why; The Letter; My New Baby<\/em>) include his showing Rebecca the new cooker he bought, the extra garage he built in order to house it, and the trailer to transport it. Jones talks about the nights he spent sleeping on the couch as the mounting pressures of his BBQ obsession led to periods of marital discord. When you see those short clips <em>(released in in order on December 13, 20, 27)<\/em>, you\u2019ll get a glimpse of how serious this sport can be. It\u2019s really something.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About BBQ competitions<\/h2>\n<p>In the world of competition barbecue, competitors are often obsessive about the sport. \u00a0Winning becomes it\u2019s own form of addiction. These extreme competitors spend excessive amounts of time, money and labor in the grueling preparation needed to win (or score high) on the barbecue circuit. One competitor says he travels 30,000 miles in a year, spending thousands of dollars on equipment, supplies, food and travel expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Jones\u2019 wife tells us, <em>\u201cit\u2019s like throwing $20 bills out the window\u201d<\/em> on the highway. That metaphor aptly captures the horror some spouses feel about competition barbecue. The successful competitors and the serious wannabes are driven to succeed. Their chosen lifestyle exacts a toll on them and their families. \u2018BBQ widow\u2019 is a common term competitors use referring to the less than enthusiastic spouse who often plays a supporting role in their husband\u2019s quest.<\/p>\n<p>Except for what we may see on television and the short internet videos and occasional documentaries, this world is largely hidden from ordinary view. This film enters this exotic world and while focusing on one competitor, also aims it\u2019s myopic view at the wider culture and the people who share the same ultimate goal: to get called up onto the stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this documentary, the smoke filled skies over Kemper Arena are where mad dreams play out.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The BBQ Jones video clips<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI\u2019d be very happy with being in the top 10, but obviously we came here to win\u201d -Joy Stehney, Slaughterhouse Five. \u201cI think if people saw the receipts, they would think we were nuts!\u201d-John MacDonald, Swillin\u2019 Smokers The BBQ Jones: a short-form episodic documentary series comprising 13 episodes, 3-6 minutes each in finished length.
