Thanks Bruce. I'm just information hunting about trying to start a competition or a BBQ fund raiser using some vendors. I think using vendors might be easier, but thinking about doing a rib cook-off to get my feet wet. I have to talk to the Romeo Peach Festival committee to see if anything like...

Hi guys, My name is Jeremy and I'm pretty new to competition BBQ and the like. Just got my first WSM smoker last October. The past 2 years my dad has ran a Praise concert bringing in several local Christian artists and 1 head-liner. We were talking about raising money for Simpson Park, where...

While on the WSM All said and done! Yummy!!!

already foiled it! water and juice mixture was hot, had to refill 2x. thanks guys for the help and we'll see what happens.

Yes its open. All of them are open wide. I'm just worried it's gonna be tough. Thanks for relieving some concerns.
