We will see how loyal the MIM following is if that prize pool ever does hit the $500k they talked as a 5 year plan.
Any way you look at it, it is a good week for comp BBQ with this and the Sam's Club both releasing dates and details.

What's the best option here - PM to Ronnie, PM to Thom, or go through Smoke on the Water's website? Or just be patient and wait for the website? That's asking alot when a comp finally comes to my home town :icon_blush:

Contact Cates directly through their website.
Why would you contact anyone else for a Smoke On The Water event?

Yeah, but MIM is an institutution...one of the oldest BBQ contests in the nation. I understand the logic behind this $125,000 contest but I personally feel it is a slap in the face to BBQ culture. There are just some things you don't do, and cutting the legs out from under another contest, especially a well established one, is one of those things. You wouldn't put a major contest the weekend of the Jack or the Royal...I just find it rude. But hell, I'm loyal to MIM and have been cooking in it for over a decade, so what do I know...

While it may not be right, many KCBS cooks do not hold MIM with the same reverence as the Jack or the Royal...

I know, I cook both and get an earfull from the KCBS guys badmouthing MIM, and onsite judging, blah blah...same goes true with some of the MIM guys and KCBS. I was raised that there are four sacred contests in this culture...The Royal, The Jack, MIM, and The Texas Rodeo...
I just think some traditions should be left alone...

In search of 2 WSMs (or equivalent) and an EZUP for the contest. PM if you can help. Thanks!
how many Harpoon's can you fit in your luggage? I might have some extra room in my truck/rv... :becky:
come to think of it.. If you can get a keg out there, I could probably set you up with a Jambo...
