i want to do the egg proud! me and my buddy are heading to Barbourville, KY to compete for the first time. He has a home made offset stick burner that we will be using for some of the stuff and we plan to use my egg for the brisket and his egg for the chicken. I am hopeful that we have a good cook and can wave my egghead flag proudly!!!!!! wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!

Go into the competition expecting last place and anything better is a win. Especially being your first competition. Have fun and don't try to stress out. Good luck!"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Have fun and enjoy the journey. When I did competition chili many years ago, I had more fun with my crew than actually winning anything.

Always laugh when Myron Mixon yells that on BBQ Pitmasters and all the cooks go running toward their cookers with meat in hand.
Best of luck and have fun.....sounds like a blast. Take pics and keep us posted.

Make sure you make time to think about the cook and make a list of everything that you will need to pack in advance, so when you get to the comp everything you need will be in place.Now Start you fire!!!!! lolXL BGEJoe JRBaltimore, MD

I found presentation to be the hardest part. We scored in top 5 for every category but that and we were second to last. I am not sure how to make pulled pork look fancy in a styrofoam box...Boom
