I don't know that I can travel that far myself but maybe to make up for distance we get a bash organized one in each state or region we can get one organized. We have a cook off at each one and then we have two teams team pit barrel cooker and team Ugly Drum Smoker. For each bash the winner will score 1 point for their team and whichever team gets the most points will prove once and for all which one is the best one the Pit Barrel Cooker or the Ugly Drum Smoker. Not sure on how to work out all the details to do this but I am sure there are plenty of people that can get something going and help newbies to organizing an event get something going. Just wondering if you guys like the idea of a War/competition?
That would be fun. I am up for that. Would be willing to help organize something in the St. Louis area.
