Certainly figured they would.
"Qualifiers" always draw a talented crowd.

We never expect to win GC or RGC.
Dream, sure. Expect--no way.

We just must grab a couple of small "placing" checks to help defray some of the expenses. That is all.

The 100% "out of pocket" thing is not in the budget.
No deep pockets here

With my Moderator hat on:
We are wandering away from Dillard Thread here with the judging and $$ posts. May need to open new thread unless this part dies here. Good topics--just not Dillard.

Oh, if we wanted to break off into a new thread, how do you do that? My appologies to the Moderator in Charge for the hijack!

Noah,
Not a hijack at all.
This is the simple "evolution" of a tread into new areas that deserve their own thread.
That way, the new stand-alone topic does not get lost in the mass of the origonal topic.

One of us will split this (or do something) later tonight.

Jimmy,
Appearances are deceiving sometimes

RV is for sale--it will pull your trailer if you can keep her under 5000 lbs
PM me and I will fix you right up
RV is not "Hobby Budget" money. She is part of ongoing family budget and not part of team expenses.
At Dillard and Mobile, she was "cost effective" at $150 extra for gas and fees. We could sleep and eat quality meals for $50/day. Not a luxury item at all. When she is sold and gone, we will be back to trying to sleep in van and explorer, cooking on the firebox, and shaving and showering when we get home

Cooker was bought by Dave for catering. Not part of team budget. I am just glad we can use it on the road as a legal cooker!

Hats and aprons were a gift from ParrotHead when we started. Thanks Greg!

The cost of competing with just meats, fees, supplies, and travel eats up my "BBQ Budget" quickly--for sure

BBQ finances would change quickly with just a couple of low paying walks to help stop the hemmorging

Just to let you know how the Brethren get noticed. I'd emailed Jane, the organizer of the event, a week or so ago to see if I could schmooze the entry list from her - so I could buy enough crying towels for Tim and me! We wound up with golf bag crying towels in the "goodie" bag! :D

A few more pics.

Tim,
Great pictures, and I'm glad you got one of the Kingfisher. The ones I have do not show this cooker very well. I wish you had one of the rotisserie in action, as it was pretty amazing.
