So after talking to some folks, and attending the Roc City Ribfest, I have decided to take the plunge into Competition. I took a few classes, and have asked some questions, but like anyone, definitely don't want to wear out my welcome.
So next year, I am planning on entering a single-entry event or two. I am starting to get the equipment I am going to need, but I am kinda on the fence, so I wanted to see what you all had to say.
I am thinking about getting a WSM for competition, but I am struggling as to whether I would need the 22.5" or the 18.5" model. Any thoughts here?
Also, any other equipment you think is a must-have ( name brands not needed ) would be greatly appreciated. I am starting to put together my list of stuff I think I need, so I can get it all gradually over the course of the summer.
Finally, I wanted to know what you all thought about proper etiquette in terms of using various rubs,etc. I have been messing around with some rubs I bought, and some are sold by various competition teams. Is there any issues with using a rub you have purchased, even if sold by another team? Does credit need to be given or anything like that? I definitely wouldn't want to get anyone upset first time out.. :-D
Thanks for the advise, and I look forward to being a more active participant here on the forums....
