My first comp

Rub-A-Dub · 01-24-2008, 08:48 PM

Well got every thing done for the smoker, Got the supplies, E-Z ups, coolers, all kitchen supplies, and ready to go. Then I look at the weather forcast and it is 70% chance of rain. Whats a brother to do? Hope this thing go off saturday with out the rain. Hoping for the best, Maybe some of the brethern can work their magic and make the rain go away LOL.

Irrad8 · 01-24-2008, 08:52 PM

better pack a poncho and some mud boots. I'd take rain over 3 degrees though.

ThomEmery · 01-24-2008, 08:54 PM

Rub-A-Dub · 01-24-2008, 09:14 PM

Thanks Thom for the grape!!!!!!!! That stuff burns awesome!!!

Rainy cookoffs are always best. I did about five of them last year and finished well in each. It is nice to have the Stumps with insulation when it rains.

My advice is, if they are calling for heavy rain, be sure to lay in extra beer, because you won't be walking around as much, you will want to drink more. Oh yea, you might want to pack a raincoat, umbrella and hat, of course, if you take enough beer, you wont worry about wearing a raincoat. Good luck and have fun!!!!!!!!

You may want to get some tarps and some velcro. You can make cheap sides to your popup with it. If the rain blows there is less room to get out of it.

Fatback Joe · 01-25-2008, 07:27 AM

Good luck, stay dry. I'm sure you thought of it, but bring extra clothes.......no reason to ride home wet.

Dale P · 01-25-2008, 07:41 AM

Isnt ponchos cheating.

Good luck and more importantly, have fun.

tonto1117 · 01-25-2008, 07:49 AM

I second the mud boots best $15 I have spent. They stay in the trailer for when needed. Nothing better than dry feet.

FYI, if the wind comes up, the sides on the canopy can sometimes become more of a sail, so make sure you tie the thing down well. Winds do accompany the storms. My second and third comp it rained. We had a huge dust storm and high winds at my first comp. I'll take the rain. When I arrived home after my first comp. I had to have a roofer replace shingles. I was whipped plus it wasn't worth breaking my neck to replace the missing ones myself.
