Based on some of the competitors in the past, I would say that you need to be all of the above for sure. If you can cook, that would be even better!

If y'all want Ratings come to North Louisiana! Yes we have some good BBQ here too. ;D

I guess people like Rod Gray, David Bouska, Jamie Greer, Stump McDowell, TrueBud BBQ team, and many others are known for their "wild personalities" over their ability to cook.

I absolutely did not say that and take exception to you implying that I did. I personally know several of the individuals you mentioned and have nothing but respect for them.

I think aawa was meaning that Rod is not exactly what you would call a 'wild personality' like that dude that beat his smoker and shot the judges the bird. Rod is pretty reserved. He sure as hell can cook.
