West Coast BBQ Championships, Fairfield CA in 2008, 40-team field (which was big for its day) was won by Cecil's Smok'n BBQ, their first contest ever!
Is it better to start in a backyard competition and move to the big leagues after getting a few competitions under your belt? Or just jump right into the KCBS/FBA/etc Pro sanctioned stuff?
Rob, thanks for the offer, but I am cooking Q for close to 200 people that following weekend at church, and we are doing a lot of our planning and shopping that weekend.
The contest I am looking at is
AUG. 6th & 7th, 201018th ANNUAL LAURIE HILLBILLY BAR-B-Q COOK-OFF
$7225.00 IN CASH PRIZES+TROPHIES & RIBBONS

My parents live about 2 miles from there, so I would have easy access to anything I might have forgotten, plus a soft bed if I chose to sleep that night. About 75 teams competed last year, and I think a fellow Bretheren came home with the grand prize last year.
