Fire up your grill or smoker and help the Machinists Wood, Pulp and Paper Council (MWPPC) raise some money for Guide Dogs of America in their Second Annual Virtual Chillin’ and Grillin’ BBQ Competition for Guide Dogs of America on Saturday, September 25, 2021.
Register today then head on over to the Machinists Wood Pulp and Paper Council Facebook page and let everyone know you’ve joined the competition.
Participants can compete in two different meat categories or can barbeque both ribs and chicken in an attempt to be crowned Grand Champion. Meats will be judged on: appearance, presentation, moisture, smoke rings and tenderness (video of pulling the rib bones and slicing or pulling meat from chicken). View the complete set of rules here.

Guide Dogs of America is the IAM’s favorite charity. In 2020, GDA completed a merger with Tender Loving Canines and now provides hardworking service dogs for people who are blind/ visually impaired, veterans, individuals with autism and facilities to become trusted companions that bring confidence, independence and mobility. Their services are provided free of charge to residents in the U.S. and Canada.
