Good Afternoon Brethren!

Palehorse here, recent small scale RGC, and now I am looking to improve what I bring to competition. While a money-is-no-object list can be fun, and I hope to have some items in here that foot that bill...like: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Brookstone-SpaNBox6FTWM-Spa-N-A-Box-Portable-Hot/dp/B00600A0UO/ref=sr_1_2?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1371743168&sr=1-2&keywords=outdoor+spa"]This Spa[/ame] or [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Goal-Zero-39004-XX-Large-Generator/dp/B007Q27WEM/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1371743278&sr=1-1&keywords=solar+powered+generator"]This Generator[/ame], I want to know what y'all have or want to have at a comp.

What is an item that bring you joy at the pit, or campsite? What is a simple pleasure or a mandatory item. To be sure, I have a pretty standard checklist of folding chairs and pop up tents etc. I know I need a Cambro box of some sort, but which one? Hammocks? Radios? Astro-Turf? Bean Bags for a public lounge?

Additionally, what is a product you swear by, that everyone should be using? A Wusthof 10 inch Bone Spliting knife? A Rolling Party Ice Cooler? A cocoon down travel pillow?... Thermapens not included.

Go hog wild. The collective here should put together a pretty good list over time and who knows...maybe this December 26th, our S.O.'s just might get us something herein.

So, brethren...whatcha got?!
 
gloves (I am sure someone will have preferences - mine are just normal bbq, but welding gloves can probably handle more heat, and I have friends who do crazy stuff with silicone gloves on, butchering gloves are another story). Possibly bear paws (just got those). Fire Starter (I am using a weed burner, but looking for something portable). Love my Guru, but doubt it is on amazon. True Tel is on Amazon - but that is something that is pit decoration. Bottle opener (pit decoration again). Yeti - keeps beverages colder longer (probably good for holding a hot brisket too - but I only have one and the beverages are important).
 
I'm not a competition person but I love having an [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Char-Griller-16619-Kamado-Charcoal-Barbecue/dp/B005ELWI7S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371755074&sr=8-1&keywords=akorn"]Amazon.com: Char-Griller 16619 Kamado Kooker Charcoal Barbecue Grill and Smoker, Black: Patio, Lawn & Garden[/ame]:clap2:

Honestly ...

life time supply of latext gloves ... thermometers ... tongs

Also might want to look into the fans that you can fill with water and they blow cold air out
