Now when I go to judge a contest I do not see these people very often. More often than not the competitors, myself included, are using a gravity fed cooker and are holed up in the nice camper. I cook in Georgia and for me personally it is just to hot and uncomfortable to sit outside and B.S with everyone that passes by. Also cooking at a contest is now more like a business for people since they are plunking down to much money. In the business world most owners do not give away there information free since they would be essentially competition against themselves. -Eric

Every time I tried to start a thread here it just does not go anywhere. Rarely even check here any more.

He is definitly more of the teach a man to fish type instead of the give a man a fish type. It has defintily made all the difference. My point is he is a great person and a heck of a great friend. |

This forum used to awesome. I learned a lot over the years here and tried to give back where I could to help others but then a few know it alls came here and argued with everyone and drove a lot of the seasoned cooks out of here and to other venues. It's just not as fun anymore.

I'm relatively new here and only started competing last year, but have asked some questions and learned a lot from them. One member was so generous to send me his rib recipe for his comp ribs. First time we tried it we didnt finish so well (too mushy, our fault), but the second time we took home first place. I didnt really know this place during its "Golden Age," but this age works for me now...

I used to check in daily to this page. Now it’s probably not even once a week. Heck, this topic started on 9/15 and today is the first time I’m seeing it. There’s just not enough new discussion to keep me coming back. I think the biggest reason is that comp bbq is undoubtedly seeing attrition. Less teams competing less often = less discussion. I also think comp bbq has gotten to be so competitive that the new standard is ‘take a class’, run that program, repeat. There is little room for creativity because the risk is too high. Thus, less Q&A here. Finally, I’d argue that this forum drove away its best contributors. I tip my cap to Brad for being probably the most active member in this page despite the crazy amount of competitions and work he’s doing. But gone are the days when other folks that competed at his level came here to banter. Love him or hate him, this place needs guys like TDuffy to shake things up. Smart, out spoken, and yes abrasive contributors are what made these threads explode with content.
