Comp question

[Smokin Ribs]

So im gonna be doin my first ever comp at my towns annual ribfest. My question is, how long do you let the ribs rest before you turn them in? Also do you rest chicken thighs or take them right off grill and turn in? Mods, if this is in the wrong section sorry

We try to get them off the smoker and in the box as soon as possible.

Pull them off the cooker perfectly sauced. Slice, match up best looking "Hollywood Style" cuts and box them. Time elapsed, 15 min. max.

Remember, the boxes don't necessarily get to the judges immediately after turn-in. So take into account the time from the smoker to the box (5 to 10 min.), then box to turn-in (5 to 10 minutes depending on distance), and then turn-in to judge's table (1 to 15 minutes). If everything goes perfectly, the box will be in front of the judges in perhaps 20 minutes. Any hitches.... well, it could be longer.

About five minutes before the turn in window opens, I take them off the smoke.
