Are there teams that compete out of thier catering/vending rig? In other words, if i just used my BBQ consession trailor at a comp, as long as i wasnt vending and only competing, is that allowed?

It almost feels like i sould need 3 trailers, one for RVing, one to vend at back home, and one for competing lol. Im trying to figure out the best way to both start my roadside bbq buisness while still going on the road occasionally to compete and enjoying the retired life. If i have to change directions on which smoker i use, i guess i can as long as i give myself plenty of practice time. Switching to a gravity feed is easily doable, i just have 0 experiance with those, but i do know they can win. There are so many options to chose from, and $10k for a smoker is alot of investment to find out i dont like it and miss the stick burner.

The wife and i have tossed up the idea of a simple truck top rv and pull a smaller trailer that is set up for vending, i found one that fits the ticket just fine complete with an old hickory smoker set up on a porch with a minimal kitchen inside (most of our cooking back home would be at a local commissary kitchen anyways).

Vending and competing are two different animals. Extremely difficult to do both at the same time, well. Both require different time, work and expense commitments. I’d suggest focus on one or the other first and adjust down the road. Spend some time observing both in detail at a couple of events and then move forward with the one that interest you most. Preparation will be key in being successful in either.

10K for a smoker is a lot and it gets even more expensive if you have to do it all twice because you don't have the right equipment to be compliant. Not all smokers meet health code standards so also ask them which smokers you are allowed to use. Can't stress the health code part of this enough.

if you are vending I would strongly consider something set it and forget it like an Ole Hickory CTO. maybe get a couple drums or a backyard Jambo for comps.
