We have a stick burner, but we take turns manning the pit. We are a team that enjoys having fun and talking S**t. We run by Democracy and I am open to opinions, but I have the ultimate rule. Anyone wanting to learn the ropes or help out is welcome.

Why don't you just tell me I'm going to be GC. Damn you Thom, nothing but a tease. Give me info!

BTW - I have no idea what the heck those guys from the City are doing on that proposal. I can't get anyone to contact me. As much as I want there to be a comp here, I don't want something that is half arse either.

Sorry. I'll be cooking with several other teams the week before for American Cancer Society - Relay For Life, then Modesto the week after.

Wish I could do every one of them, but my team just don't enjoy traveling much. I have to put incentives up for them, like me paying for gas, meat or t-shirts, aprons or hats for everyone. Their spoiled. That's why I'm a BBQ whore. I show up at contests looking for teams that need help.

Excellent! Someone to meld into a contender! We'll see you at Westley and then maybe Modesto. If you want to cook a crap load of butts, then show up to the Relay For Life and help out there.
