Just curious to see how many contests everyone is planning this year. All the talk about hard times and bad economy, I'm wanting to see if it has really put a damper on your plans

Congrats, on such a good season. :D The best I can say about our ranking is it's in the top 20% in pork. Here's hoping that we both have even better years next year.

I had a similar thing happen at a contest with some butts I was smoking. I got rushed and didn't even look to see if they were labled enhanced, as there were only 2 butts in the whole town, as far as I could find. Needless to say it was as close to a DAL as I have ever been. Second to last, and...

I've kept fresh birds in my deep freeze for almost a year before, and couldn't tell the diffrence from the ones I bought the same week I cooked them. I wouldn't do this if I were trying to compete in some sort of turky contest, but wouldn't have a second thought to freezing any birds.

I've never had any problem with any brine I've tried makin my food to salty. The sodium opens the pours of the meat and carrys the flavors into the meat. Sure you can go overboard, but I would imagine that would take quite a bit of salt to do. Anyway, It's nice to be able to get back to talkin Q...

It's been a while since I've posted, but smokin all those turkies got me thinking about the chat here. I saw this thread, and I figured I'd put this out there, even though it's after Thanksgiving. It's super simple but I have friends knocking down my door to cook there Thanksgiving bird every...

I took the class in Lebanon, TN this past August. I really was able to fine tune every catagory as well as presentation boxes. Maybe someday I'll get to go up to the Shannon, IL contest. I've heard great things about it.

Well I know I haven't been on much for quite a while, but I've been workin hard on improving a competetive product. We finally get to see if all the hard work pays off. In a couple of weeks. I took the clas put on by Johnny Trigg & Rod Gray, and have been working many of there processes into my...

I had done some research MIM is well over 100K The Royal is right at 100K The Jack Is around 50K Huston will have over 100K at the BBQ alone I'm not sure about Stagecoach.

I compete with nothing but WSM's. Be carefull or you might have another by next weekend :shock:

You will find most competetors expect to pay an entry fee. this will often be where winnings come from as well as sponsorship from local business. I would also suggest contacting KCBS (www.kcbs.us) or some other BBQ sanctioning body toposibly help out. They can provide you with rules, scoreing...

I don't have any direct info for you but depending on what your expectations are for this contest I might know someone who could help you out. Are you trying to use the contest to try to help make up some expences or do you just want to have a BBQ contest as an additional draw for the public? If...
