My buddy and I are fixing up a used Backwoods Competitor we picked up. It has an auto water system, convection fan, and a 'hide setter' (which I am not familiar with)... Any tips or recommendations on how I should adjust my cookers going from a Rec Tec pellet smoker to this Backwoods? Also...

How many of you teams participate in the other categories at some of these comps? Dessert, side dish, or any other one for that matter. Any strategy involved in these? I just tried the dessert category at Lambs Farm in Illinois and ended up in second place.

This weekend I competed in my first competition. Overall it was a decent experience and I did ok for an amateur I think. However the event was kind of a cluster from the beginning with no one being told site locations to local police misdirecting traffic. The biggest problem was that it being...

I have been planning on competing in 2 KCBS event's this season. But, I am having second thought's, and think maybe I should attend a KCBS judges class prior to entering any competition's. Maybe judge an event, or at least learn what a judge is looking for. Does anyone think this a good/bad...

We are toying between 3 Backwoods smokers. The idea is to get one primarily for ribs and eventually buy a larger one to use as our primary as we save up the $$$ for it :shock::shock: The hope is to have a unit that could start 1 18 pound brisket as well as a prok butt or two. We would then like...
