And don't forget to build full comp boxes for your meats. Getting practice building them will help and if you post pics I am sure you will get some good advice!

Great idea. We did the same thing. Really makes your first comp a lot more familiar. Not sure the neighbors could figure out why 2 grown men were out in the yard sleeping in tents...

Not that you asked for any advice, but get a box and put EVERYTHING you use tonight in that box. Don't put anything away. Then, when you are done you'll have a real idea about what you'll need. Amazing how many comps I did before it entered my thick skull to bring measuring cups and a whisk!
Have fun!
Have fun!

The weatehr was terrible Dave, Since I have the luxuroy I changed my plan. Decided I would do a thursday practice run. So got all my stuff packed up and went ahead and trimmed chicken and ribs. I am going to cook tonight. Start trimming brisket and pork butts around 5pm. Colder today but dry.

I am looking at Versailles over memorial day if they do it again this year and Sedalia in June. Also thinking about Blue Springs, Columbia and The Royal. Look forward to meeting you. I am terrible at remembering names but may not have that problem with you. keith

Take a breath!
Good luck, I did that as well last year before entering our first comp. It is an eye opener, but fun and worth it. Another Keith here, we could find a couple more Keith's and have an all Keith cook off!

Wow those are some small butts unless the camera angle is messing with me. They have been running on the small side at Sam's lately.

Advice, cook more chicken......6 pieces at turn in
easy to screw up a few, or burn.....& have your rub combos down & pre made, Have a timer to wake you up to check temp,baste or mist, or whatever you plan to do

"Mock" comp helped me pull 2 first places in a backyard division @ our first comp. The advise here helped even more.
