That's exactly where I'm at... and now am taking Todd's (Plowboys) class in March. I also just took a CBJ class last night. It's all starting to make sense now

New to competition
I plan on entering my first comp in April 2010 in Dothan, AL. I have always loved to barbecue, and loved watching BBQ Pitmasters. Should I just do the backyard division to get my feet wet? I'm practicing different recipes now, to narrow down to the ones I will use. I also have a 30 ft. camper, is that feasible to take to the competition? Any good pointers to an extreme newbie that loves to cook would be helpful. How much will this whole deal cost me in meat, fuel, fees, etc? thanks in advance!

You need to be sure that the size you request will support your camper. Most comps allow for 20x20 or 20x25 areas, so you may have to pay a bit more for the larger area for the camper. It is nice to have something like that around, though, sort of like a hotel room on wheels. I have been considering one myself.

park it right there in/on the site, others it's a short walk down the street (if you will). You'll want to contact the organizers of the cookoff for specifics. Some have an extra $50+- for larger sites; we've always paid for the extra room to have the RV right there... There are pluses and minuses to doing a few backyard divisions before going with the pros. I did one backyard, enjoyed it, then began with the pro sanctioned cookoffs. Frankly, I learned more at my first pro comp than anything learned in the backyard. Meaning, you'll learn more back doing it (succeed or fail) than watching. Practice, practice, and practice. Make the practice as close to live as you can. Set pre-determined turn-in times for yourself; see if you can hit it, with nice warm/hot bbq that looks appetizing. If it's a KCBS cookoff, practice with multiple turn-ins, 30 minutes apart. If you can do this, and identify all the tools you'll use (for packing list), you're ready for it. I suggest even if you're not all the way ready to just jump in on the pro thing. Who knows, you might have a good day and land in some money. I, for one, would hate to have had a good day and not get much of the rewards... As far as costs go, we end up spending right at $800 on KCBS. I have about $100 of that for gasoline. The others are about the same no matter how far you travel.
