Greg,

Come on down and judge it. The Royal is always scrambling for judges on Saturday morning. Can you imagine getting 475 judges together the morning after the biggest party in the midwest. The no shows are incredible. Add having to pay for parking because the judges lot is five blocks away and/or already full. Believe me when I tell you that the American Royal Open contest will take just about ANYBODY to judge. Anybody who's cooked or judged this event will tell you the same thing.

I stand corrected. Too far to go to just judge. If one of our teams gets an invite I may go to help out. Schedule is slammed from now until the end of October.

I think we won that one this year.........

I'll second all of that. They do the best they can, but the Royal is not a very good pool of judges.

Hopefully your friend has it down and knows the pit.
First time I cooked the Royal (our first year competing) got our asses handed to us, the second time we made the top 20. Phil is right it is about learning to compete. You are going to be over on the Dark Side don't let the partiers get you.

Jim, he's done ribs and chicken in it but hasn't done a brisket or butt in it yet. I'd really rather do the brisket and butt in his smoker for contest as he said he gets a solid four hour burn without re-fueling! Could make for more shut-eye overnight.

Someone has said "sleep is highly overated".

You are gonna be so pumped you could not sleep even with KC's FEC 100 doing the cooking!

(Just a moment of levity)

I have set an alarm clock for every "nap" I have taken. Never, ever has it gone off--entirely to psyched to oversleep--for sure

You have lots and lots of time to practice.
You need to run some practice cooks with the arsenal you have and all four meats at the same schedule as a comp.

See how the Good One cooks and plan/adjust from there.

Keep us posted!

Good One can handle brisket and butt just fine, like Tim says do some practice cooks.

Hell YEAH. I didn't sleep at all the night before, during or when I got home. I was freaking flying.

But then again I was working with Pooh and Chad. I had a hell of a cushion.

Jeff: Good to see you yesterday!!! You have the right attitude to compete and you have the right tools( wink, wink, nudge, nudge) all I can say is

Go out there and win one for the Groper--- I mean Gipper

Had you confused with me for a minute there.

Any time you can walk the stage----It's a good day!!

You already do just by jumping in and going for it. Now, let's see if we can get you to place above the curve and learn a bunch at the same time.

Jeff_in_KC · 08-05-2005, 11:29 AM

Good News!!! I just got an email from the person I've been talking to at the Royal, trying to confirm my entry is in. Well, she did and Big Creek BBQ is officially in! She said she just can't confirm my space assignment until August 20. BF(arkin')D! I don't need to know that right now. I just needed to be able to farking sleep at night! Onward and upward!

I would if I wasn't still at work for another three farkin hours! So to celebrate, I went out and bought me a shiney new WSM! My wife may NOT kill me... she's down with a bad back and is on muscle relaxers and pain killers so maybe when I tell her what I just spent (after buying a $150 10x20 canopy yeserday), that pain will be killed also!
