Bugger, missed it last year and working the weekend again this year.

St Paul's Carnival is on this weekend as well which just makes it worse! Damn weekend working!

I noticed that and refused. Google probably know my details anyway.

Thankfully its only £1 more on the door.

Still at Grillstock, but day 1 was cool. Day 2 is in full swing.

Anyone else who went want to comment on how they found it?

I thought the entertainment was really good. Hayseed Dixie at the end were brilliant. Never heard Bohemian Rhapsody in bluegrass

Could have been more stalls perhaps.

Demo's were good, and tasting the competitors entries to King of the Grill was nice. Bad Byron's Buttrub team's brisket was amazing....

I went and got myself a butt rub tshirt and some butt rub

the demos were pretty damn good and the music was awesome, but I do agree they could have done with more stalls.

Damn, I missed this, hopefully it will be on again next year.

Anyone know what chillies they had in the competition?

St. Pauls was good this year also, Toddla T, Joker and Dj Zinc were the highlights for me, still at least Oxford isn't a million miles away if you want to make it next year...

some pretty damn hot ones, bhut jolokia being one of them. They had to go around the hot ones twice, as in last man standing as they didn't have any hotter.

I remember hearing a "jaga viper" was mentioned. 1.1million Scovilles

scotch bonnet was about 2/3rds of the way in, so that gives you some idea of how hot it got.

People were throwing up by the end.

Just used some Butt Rub on a couple of steaks. Lovely

I bought some "Manor" ready made marinades. the BBQ ones are really tasty.

Never knew something like this existed nice one OP. I bought a Smoker/Grill BBQ and have been getting into the whole smoking and BBQing scene. Hope there's a Grillstock 3 which I'll definitely attend, I'm just imagining the smells

tbz_ck · 5 Jul 2011 at 09:53

Yea as far as I know they intend to grow it to be one of the best BBQ and music festivals in the world.

Don't yet know how long it will stay at Bristol Harbourside (it was getting pretty full at peak times) but it's definitely here to stay

Did anyone try those roasted seeds that fella was selling? Awesome!! Who'd a thought that seeds could have tasted so good !
