How much did your estimate come to? It costs me between $300 & $400 to do a comp, that includes the entry fee & the groceries (meat's sauces, ect.) I cook 2 - butts 1 - 12 lb. brisket, 3 slabs ribs & about 16 thighs.
I don't golf or anything so my wife has no problem with this, we have friends that golf almost every weekend of the summer & they easily spend a couple hundred bucks a weekend on green fees, beers, lunch, equipment. We camp almost every weekend $35 + grocieries for the whole family
.
I sell to co-workers & neighbors whenever I fire up the pit, this has paid for all the meat I cook on a weekend (including what I keep for myself) & I put the extra $$$ in an envelope marked competition $$$. I then buy the groceries with this $$$.
