Everyone has their reasons for switching, while some are visiting both sites, I can only keep up with one, obviously this one.

hea tim, welcome... i think lotsa people just got tired of the samo samo goin ons. it at least got people looking around at other sites and when it crashed it was the last straw for many. so now i bounce around 3 different sites. i like it, the differences are subtle but like people the sites have there own personalities. and sometimes a little change up is needed.

1st place one out of three. I never did comps before last year. I never really cared to cook comps, but I yielded to prressure from a good many that thought I should.

We will prolly do 7 or 8 this year, and if we do, there will be more blue ribbons.

We did of total of 4 compslast year. The first was pretty much just an information foray. The second, we won first. we bested some teams like Habitual Smokers, Pellet Envy, Butcher's BBQ and others. The next one, we were short on equipment and didn't execute properly. The last one was at the end of the season and we tried something completely different and the judges panned it. I have no doubt that when properly executed, we will be in the top 5 or better every time. Of course, proper execution isn't necessarily as easy as it sounds.

We have one blue in three out of four categories, one in everything but ribs. I spose ribs will get the most attention at the next one, and at the rate things are going, there'll prolly be a blue ribbon there.

It was a tough year last year. We didn't use the same equipment at any 2 comps. We've pretty well stabilized on the equip now so maybe we'll finally get a routine down.

for those that don't cook comps, it's a whole different deal when you have to cook 4 categories and cook to a different schedule for each.

Do you cook competitions?
