Well I'm just getting started in Comp's and have been to a few unsanctioned and have had a unbelivable time (you BBq'rs are great people). I have been bbquing for quite sometime for freinds, family and catering have enjoyed good reveiws and comments, I have been reading all the Forums and been getting alot of info, made some posts concerning smoker's, and have made contact with some other BBq'ers but might have found that some can be a little leary which is fine, I surely don't want anyone to feel like I'm wanting secret's just info is all. My question is how can one get started, I know just by going to sanctioned events, but does one start small and work your way up and how does going to events like the Royal work,do you have to be invited or can you compete in the open class,I know the Jack is by invite only, and what events should one cook in KCBS,MBN or which one, it's all rather overwhelming from the outside looking in and I'm sure its personal preference but how does one decide which one to compete in and where to start, whats the best advice. I am going to the Jack and am taking the KCBS Judge's class thought that might help me in the long run to find more info about what I'm doing or should be doing, also am hoping to gather some insight into the cook off world. And lastly since I am going to the Jack I'm putting the offer out there if someone might need help with anything at all even pulling a trailer down if need be (I'm in northern Indiana)just to have the opportunity to watch, learn and listen. I appoligize for the long post and rambling as well as all the questions but just trying to get my head around all this.
